Giant Pacific octopus

Giant Pacific octopus's are usually reddish-pink with a delicate, veinlike pattern when you see them up close, fading to white on the underside of the tentacles. Its eight arms are covered with suction cups—2,240 of them in females, about 100 fewer in males—which give the octopus an iron grip as well as exquisite powers of taste and smell.


 When Full-grown giant Pacific octopus often top 50 pounds, and the record was a creature weighing 600 pounds and measuring nearly 30 feet across.

Pardon me, but didn't you already do a post on the giant pacific octopus? I am also disappointed that the axolotl post was released again. I know these are not edits because the originals are still present. I would appreciate an explanation for this.
