In the waters off Rausu, Hokkaido, at a depth of about 25 meters, an enormous creature was found, writhing and undulating.

The photographer, who felt a way of terror on the creature’s dimension, shared his expertise.

Asahi Shimbun’s Nemuro bureau chief, Tomoyuki Yamamoto, who captured the footage, mentioned, ‘It seemed like a rock. There are locations on the sandy seabed of Rausu with many rocks. That big rock wasn’t transferring.’

Yamamoto continued, ‘Upon nearer inspection, there have been suction cups and eyes. Oh! It’s an octopus.’

The creature turned out to be a Pacific large octopus (mizudako).

This species is alleged to be the biggest on the planet, with an arm span of about 3 meters. Each arm of the mizudako has 250 to 300 suction cups, every measuring round 10 centimeters in diameter.

Yamamoto defined, ‘The suction cups are all the time clear and easy, maintained to make sure robust adhesion. The power is super, so if the octopus attaches itself to you, you could depend on your diving accomplice that can assist you. It’s tough to do something by yourself.’

Due to its highly effective suction, warning is suggested when approaching a mizudako in comparison with an atypical octopus.
