Can an octopus attack a human? The giant pacific octopus is huge. An adult octopus is often 16 ft from the tip of one arm to the tip of another - that's almost like three adult people standing one on top of another! The largest specimens can also weigh more than 100 lbs! But the size record is held by a giant that grew to be 30 ft across and had the weight of a whopping 600 lbs! 

It’s not that easy to come across the underwater giant. Octopuses are well-known introverts. o meet a giant octopus, you would need to travel to the North Pacific coast. It can be Japan, Alaska, British Columbia. Their everyday meal is shrimps, lobsters, clams, or fish. Their largest prey is sharks! So what would happen if you got caught by a giant octopus, which is several times your size? Would you manage to escape or survive such an encounter at all?
