Like, even for giant octopus? How do they get so large, in such a short amount of time?
- Scapeghost 7y agoGoogle's info box for giant octopus confirms right away that, yes, they too live for 3-5 years.

- Aenyn 7y agoGiant squids are several times the weight of an adult human and also get that big over only a handful of years.
