Different species. That one looks like an pacific gaint octopus (Octopus dofleini), which could weight up to 600lbs (the heavest on record) and measure an average 16 feet long from a tip of an arm to another. It's also a pretty intelligent creature.

Some are small (and poisonous) and the edible ones are pretty tasty :)

The drawing of the shark is not the scary though. Yeah, it's big but it looks quite cuddly :D

Post by: Flipside on August 26, 2005, 08:19:34 pm: Pretty impressive stuff, sizes can be decieving, octopus aint little, and this was stated as being a pretty powerful one...

Some people may remember this, the article states that even normal octopus can have spans of up to 23ft, i.e. longer than a great white, and, though personally I have my doubts, if this creature that was washed up at St Augustine was in fact an Octopus, then General Freak might have a taker for that challenge ;)
