This story is amazing.
Giant octopuses of the Cretaceous were up to 19 meters (60 feet) long.
They were the apex ocean predators of their day, eating up plesiosaurs and mosasaurs.
And they were apparently quite intelligent.
Sorry we missed you!

It’s things like this that make me believe that somewhere in the primitive animal mind is a memory of these terrors.
At least is fun to frame it that way
