No- they'd break their beaks if they tried! Giant octopus are strong, but not so strong as to be able to do THAT. Instead, octopus make their homes in undersea burrows beneath rocky clefts, small underwater caves, and anywhere else that can provide shelter, including the wrecks of sunken ships. Contrary to popular belief, they are not dangerous to humans and tend to be very shy of them.

∙ 14y agoAn octopus can bite with its beak, which is where its tentacles join its body. However, they generally use their tentacles for defense. The tentacles do have suckers, which can be painful to skin and hard to remove, but unless you put your hand right at an octopus' beak, it probably isn't going to bite. Most octopi would rather escape than try to tackle a human, although you probably shouldn't try provoking an octopus to find out.
