A top hat-wearing octopus is a sight to behold. It’s not every day you see one so tall!
It’s not every day you see a top hat-wearing octopus! But they do exist and today we’re going to take a look at one of the tallest, most interesting ones.
This eight-legged mollusk hails from deep in the Pacific Ocean – scientists think it lives near Indonesia or Guam but no one knows for sure because this creature is rare. It was first discovered by Japanese researcher Tetsuo Okamoto back in 1990 when he found an empty shell on the shoreline after a heavy storm had washed up some of its prey. He named it “Abralia” meaning “a tall octopus wearing a top hat”. They grow up to four feet long with tentacles that can reach another six feet.
The octopus lives on the ocean floor and is primarily a scavenger. But it’s also an amazing swimmer, thanks to its eight arms that are able to propel it forward at speeds of up to two meters per second! They’ve been spotted over 100 feet deep in water but scientists think they could go even deeper than that. It can be found off both coasts of North America as well as Western Europe and Africa.
Octopuses have three hearts – one for their brain, one for each gill sac, so when they’re stressed or frightened all three heart rates increase which causes them to use more oxygen quickly making them vulnerable while trying not to move too much ight away from predators like sharks who would love nothing more than to snack on the octopus.
Octopuses are solitary creatures but their mating lasts only a short time and is not always successful, so they’re able to have multiple matings in one day – which might explain why there’s such an overpopulation of them! The female will lay up to 100,00 eggs at a time where she lives for about six months while males die soon after mating. And if that wasn’t enough already, some giant species can grow as large as 12 feet long and weigh more than 150 pounds.
The top hat-wearing octopus was caught by fishermen off New Zealand when it attempted to steal bait from a fishing line set out by two fisherman near Kaikoura in 2016 with a camera. The octopus is estimated to measure about 14ft in diameter and was likely near the end of its life cycle, as it had only one mate left!

– Octopuses have three hearts. As they are invertebrates, their blood is not bright red like vertebrate blood but a dark blue color. They also do not possess what humans call veins because instead of carrying oxygenated blood to the body’s cells as arteries do, they carry deoxygenated blood and other substances that aid in digestion. Their circulatory system has no pumping action: before reaching the head it flows through at least one capillary bed where gases are exchanged between tissues and bloodstream; then it reaches another set of capillaries on its way back down to the body’s interior. This type of circulation differs from our own closed system that uses one heart to pump blood through the body. – The octopus’ head has some amazing abilities, but it is not a brain for thinking or reasoning like ours. It can’t be used as an arm and does not have any sense organs because they don’t need them since they live in water where all their needs are met by swimming and tasting with their arms. They also do not have brains so these sensors/organs would serve no purpose here on land anyways! When you put your hand near the mouth of this animal, its sucking motion will try to draw food into its mouth using suction created from pumping water out of its mantle cavity and back again. This creates a powerful jet that sucks prey into the octopus’
