how dose a giant octopus behave?

Tentacle are to animals who have them, as arms are to mankind. They grab and hold things. Some animals have poison secreted in their tentacles as a means of defense.

Mainly their thick outer layer of blubber is able to absorb a lot of the pressure.  Their immense size does help even it out.  Unfortunately, even though they are built to be able to dive that deeply, it's not a harmless thing.  Whales do get the bends.  Often whale bones, especially those of sperm whales, show signs of nitrogen bubbles in the blood and tissues.  Over time it does cause them pain and in some rare cases some deformity.  So they're designed to be able to do it, but it is not risk-free to the whale.  There is a biological cost.

Octopuses are highly efficient predators.  A small octopus might take prey such as shrimp or small crabs, but one like the Pacific giant octopus will usually eat large crabs, grabbing them with its tentacles and biting through their shell with its hard beak, but can also take larger prey, up to and including sharks 6 or 7 feet long.\n\nOne of the reasons the octopus is so skilled at camoflage though, is the fact that many other critters consider it tasty as well.  They often hide during the day, and hunt at night.  Some species are such spectacular mimics that they can fool their predators by appearing to be rocks, coral, or even a group of sea snakes.

I guess to be "eel-like" having no legs, being aquatic and posses functional or vestigial or reduced fins. Lamprey move by moving their bodies back and forth, to create propulsin, this is undulatory. Sinusoidal movement is what snakes use, it is side to side "S" movements, where as eels and lamprey use more of an up and down movement, like a mountain chain (several mountains side by side) they say the undulating mountains.\n\nhope this helps!

Cuttlefish don't have any air-holes on the inner surface of their tentacles.  Or anywhere else for that matter.\n\nCuttlefish are strictly marine, and don't really have much interaction with air at all.  They breathe water, live in water, breed in water and feed in water.\n\nPerhaps you are refering to the suction cups on the tentacles?  The inner surface of the tentacles has a number of suction cups used in grabbing prey or other items.  The number of suction cups varies depending on the species of cuttlefish, and their age/size, and probably individual variations as well.  \n\nSo the answer would be somewhere between some and lots.

at the scale of an ant, the wall is actually pretty rough, so its like climbing a cliff. look above for info on how their feet have suckers and hooks - it like a combination of metal spikes and batmans suction cups.

Actually, it's a pretty good explanation.  It fits the observation.  Do elephants swim that well though?  Would one sink if it lost it's footing? <Looks it up>\n\nApparently, they do swim rather well in deep water.  So, it does seem to fit.  That would explain the lack of a head (based on apparent size of the neck) in the famous Nessie photo.

I've only found one reference to this behavior, and the original publication is in Russian. Orcas are social mammals and it would take extremely stressful circumstances for cannibalism to occur.

yes it will be by an ice age. some species will survive.  apparently the monkey squids will rule the world.  they look like normal squid that swim in the sea, cept they live on land and swing thru the trees like monkeys.

Has to do with how the limbs develop in the first place during embryogenesis.  In the octopus, the limbs likely just grow outward from the body (same as for a lizard's tail).\n\nIn humans your limbs do not grow outward from the body.  They develop in a much more complex process during the initial stages of body development that cannot be repeated because the body is never again in such a primitive stage.

There are so many...how about an octopus?  That's got a lot of interesting characteristics.

I posted a link below that will give you some information on Sea Monkeys. I know they are a lot smaller than you expect at first anyway. Neat thing for kids to do.

There is no evidence that Giant Squids have ever eaten people.\n\nThe largest one on record, that anyone has seen, is about 44 feet> However, a beak found within the stomach of a sperm whale was so large that it is believed the squid it came from would have had to be nearly 200 yards long.  It has not been determined if this came from a giant squid or another species that may be smaller, but have a larger beak.

Think of an ant crawling on a balloon. A big balloon. The ant can't tell that the balloon isn't flat, because he's so small in comparison to it, and the balloon is so large.

haha ok i have a couple questions...\n1) how old are you?\n2) what made you think of htis question?\n3) dont you have anything better to do lol?\n\nbut thats a tough question, i would say the octopus - stronger, and with the sucker/squeegie things, they could like wrap their arms around the giraffe and take it down...hope that helps!!

NO!\nlol, the tree octopus is a hoax, it's been around for some years now. I remember finding the site with some zoologist friends and really laughing, while at the same time we shook our heads amazed that someone could believe it. There was also a "mountain walrus" to save... all supported by GreenPeas (not GreenPeace! :-P ).\n\nThere are _no_ terrestrial cephalopods whatsoever. These are animals with almost nonexistant skeleton, and their skin is permeable. Imagine what would happen to them on land.\n\n----------------------\nUpdate: People, you need to base your knowledge on OTHER sources apart from a webpage.
