Terrifying giant octopus is giving TikTok users nightmares TikTok: brookesirahRelease the Kraken! TikTok viewers are freaking out over a giant octopus that caught hold of one user\u2019s crab trap and wouldn\u2019t let go. TikTok is home to a slew of viral content. From new dance moves to viral foodie trends and more, there\u2019s something for everyone on the world\u2019s most popular social media app. Sometimes, though, content gets uploaded to the site that truly takes one\u2019s breath away\u2026 and that\u2019s exactly what happened when TikTok user Brooke Satta showed off an astounding moment from one of her fishing trips. In her video, the Vancouver native showed off a massive octopus that latched itself onto her crew\u2019s prawn trap as they were reeling their catch back onto the boat. \u201cHoly \u2014 you\u2019re kidding!\u201d one of the crewmates can be heard saying. \u201cThat is so huge!\u201d \u201cWanna take him?\u201d another asks.\u201dI\u2019ve never seen one this big. Holy sh*t!\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s a big octopus,\u201d another says. \u201cI wanna eat it, but I don\u2019t know how to get it.\u201d Despite the crew\u2019s appetite for seafood, the TikToker claims that they allowed the octopus to return to the depths. \u201cThe octopus held on for a bit then let go and swam back down,\u201d Brooke captioned her video. \u201cCoolest sight I\u2019ve seen!\u201d Giant octopus compared to kraken in viral TikTok video The sheer size of the creature is dropping jaws all over the app, with some commenters comparing the octopus to the \u2018Kraken\u2019 of mythical folklore and legend. \u201cPretty sure that\u2019s a kraken,\u201d one commenter wrote. \u201cPeople just casually giggling at a kraken,\u201d another said. \u201cPut that thing back where it came from, or so help me!\u201d another joked, referencing a line from Disney\u2019s \u2018Monsters Inc.\u2019 \u201cHe\u2019s saving his fish friends,\u201d a viewer added. Brooke\u2019s viral TikTok video caught an awe-inspiring moment from nature that has racked up over 41 million views since being uploaded on December 27. In an interview with Global News, Satta claimed she and the crew thought they\u2019d simply caught a massive haul of prawns before reeling up the giant, tentacled hitchhiker. \u201cWhen we first started pulling the trap up, it was super heavy, so we thought it was a pretty full prawn trap, and it was orange just like prawns. \u2026as it was surfacing we were like, \u2018Oh my gosh, that is a huge octopus!’\u201d \u201cI love ocean life, so I was very excited and surprised.\u201d It\u2019s likely that the octopus in the video is a Giant Pacific Octopus, which can grow anywhere from 9.75 to 16 feet long. This is just the latest animal to take over TikTok after a horrified woman discovered a hamster eating through her bedroom ceiling from her neighbor\u2019s apartment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
