Meet the Largest Octopus on the Planet (Well, the Plush Version)
The Giant Pacific Octopus, Enteroctopus dofleini, is the biggest octopus species in the world. We're talkin' up to 16 feet long with an arm span the length of a car and weighing over 150 lbs.
And now you can hug one.
Our Jumbo Octopus is 30 inches of squishy, science-accurate goodness modeled after the GPO. But this isn't just a blob with arms. Look closer.
The anatomy is life like!
That orange funnel on the side? That's the siphon, the same tube a real octopus uses to jet through the water like a biological rocket engine. The two openings on either side of the mantle? Those are the mantle cavities, where a GPO pulls in water to breathe (fun fact: the water flows over three hearts worth of gills before getting blasted back out the siphon). Flip your plush over and right in the center where all eight arms meet, you'll find the beak, a parrot-like jaw that real GPOs use like a pair of gardening shears to crack open crabs and clams!
And those eyes? Horizontal, rectangular pupils. Just like the real thing. GPOs use those wide pupils like panoramic cameras, scanning for prey and predators in every direction. Goats, sheep, and toads are part of the same rectangular pupil crowd, but none of em are this cute.
Pretty epic!!!!
