It depends on the size of it. They can range from 8 inches to 20 feet.
Octopus tentacles can be so strong they can crush your ribs
Nobody knows how strong a giant squid (Architeuthis dux) is. There is not enough data.
But they are VERY strong.
Claims of specimens of Architeuthis measuring 20 meters or more have not been scientifically documented, but these unusualy large sizes are not dismissed, a priori.
And the colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni,) is much stronger, having a much larger mantle body, and having a total weight - more than 500 kg - that may be the double average weight of a giant squid.
These cephalopd giants of the deep HAVE TO BE STRONG. They have mighty predators.
The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) is belived to be their most fearsom adversary, in the Holocene.
But there were other more serious predators, in the Miocene, and even before.
During the Miocene and the earlier Pliocene, Livyatan melvillei had a body length of 13.5 to 17.5 metres (larger specimen probably larger), and most certainly they the top predators of deep sea cephalopods.
A great controversiahas been lasting from 2011, about the "Triassic kraken".
The very large ichthyosaurs, from the late Triassic to earlier Cretaceous period, were the apex predators of the deep-sea very large cephalopoda class.
But these ichthyosaurs were ofter the prey of the above mentioned "Triassic kraken", instead of predators...
Last but least, the Octopus giganteus verrill, classified by the late Dr. Addison Emery Verrill(1839-1926), first professor of zoology at Yale University, astonishingly, is a near perfect descipion of the "Triassic kraken" descibed by Dr. Mark McMenamin,
professor of Geology at Mount Holyoke College.
Samples preserved of the Octopus giganteus were lost and its species was never confirmed, said Dr. James Mead, a zoologist at the Smithsonian Institution, where detailed pictures of the specimen are still stored for further study and comparative research.
It depends on the size of it. They can range from 8 inches to 20 feet.
Octopus tentacles can be so strong they can crush your ribs
Their so strong they can open any stuck jar in less than a second. They lift.
i would say squid because its bigger.
strong suction cups
The scientific name for suction cups is "cupulae" or "discs." These structures are found in various organisms, including cephalopods, such as octopuses and squids, and some insects and parasites, and are used for attachment and locomotion.
Well, the octopus had ink glands like the squid, and if it had fins then not only would it look ridiculous, they couldn't get away from predators. Also, on a octopuses tentacles, there are suction cups. They can't get them on fins, and they work as hands. I think octopuses and tenctacles get along, not fins. Don't you?
The octopus is an invertebrate, which means it has no bones. The octopus is a cephalopod and this means a head with legs. The octopus has three hearts and they all are located in the head. Just like the hearts all organs are located in the head. The octopus has 8 flexible legs. Located beneath the legs are suction cups. The suction cups can taste and the suction cups can help it move across rocks and through the sea. The octopuses' legs encircle its mouth. The octopuses' mouth is a beak. The octopus has a funnel on its head, which helps the octopus escaped from predators.
They don't have suction cups they have tube feet
they all have suction cups. There are eight tentacles and two arms(they all have suction cups). Hope this helps!
suction cups are made by a soft rubber that is in penitrable to air
Types of suction items are suction cups, suction hooks, and suction hoses.
As far as I know, they're used for self-defense and to hold onto food while they're eating it. The suction cups are lined with razor sharp "teeth" which can leave pretty nasty scars on a while looking for a squid snack. I hope this helps you! :D
Its tube feet
tube feet
The suction cups on a squid are simply used to maintain the grasp of food.
