The Marvelous & Majestic, Giant Pacific Octopus, Enteroctopus Dofleini

The Giant Pacific Octopus, Enteroctopus dofleini, is an agile swimmer that often travels long distances in search of prey at or near the ocean bottom. Intriguingly, E. dofleini is known to venture away from normal territories using a route not typically retraced for the return trip back to home base. Perhaps it is because the octopus suspects a predator might be lying in wait for an ambush along the original pathway. Read all about this most unusual creature as it takes you into deep ocean waters and through many twists and turns and as it searches for prey and avoids impending peril.
