But a new discovery by a team of researchers in Japan, published in April 2026, found that the ancient octopus relatives were likely gigantic predators that roamed the late Cretaceous seas between 100 million to 72 million years ago. Huge fossil jaws have been uncovered in Cretaceous deposits near Japan and on Vancouver Island in Canada. Though they were known to be part of the cephalopods class that includes squid, cuttlefish and octopus, not much else was known about them for years.\u00a0 \u201cIt was still unclear whether they were truly octopuses, how large they were, what they ate, and what role they played in the marine ecosystem,\u201d study co-author Yasuhiro Iba, a paleontologist at Hokkaido University in Japan, told Mongabay by email. \u201c[We] showed that they were Cretaceous octopuses \u2026 very large and probably powerful predators that processed hard prey.\u201d The largest species found among the fossils belonged to the now-extinct Nanaimoteuthis haggarti. Estimates from its jaw size suggest that the octopus may have reached 6.6 to 18.6 meters (22 to 61 feet) in length. On the higher end, that\u2019s around two-thirds the size of an adult blue whale, the largest animal to ever exist.\u00a0 \u201cThat is an enormous size for an octopus,\u201d Iba wrote. \u201cIt suggests that it may have been among the largest invertebrates ever known.\u201d The scientists also found evidence of wear,&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href=\"https:\/\/news.mongabay.com\/short-article\/2026\/08\/scientists-discover-that-giant-octopuses-were-top-predators-of-ancient-oceans\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Mongabay<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finned octopus species alive today are all small, deep-sea animals that mostly live in pitch-black&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":313,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[939,12,935,770,878,936,14,9,938,11,272,13,10,937,2],"class_list":["post-312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-unicorn778","tag-ancient","tag-bermain","tag-discover","tag-giant","tag-oceans","tag-octopuses","tag-online","tag-peluang","tag-predators","tag-saat","tag-scientists","tag-slot","tag-terburuk","tag-top","tag-unicorn778"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webmediamall.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
