Pacific Giant Octopus vs. Remote-Controlled Submersible

Not even remotely a fair contest.

"The giant pacific octopus, octopus dofleini, is the largest species of octopods and although it grows to an average weight of 50 to 90 lbs with a span of 16 ft, a monster 600 lbs one has been recorded. They are intelligent creatures who can negotiate mazes and learn to unscrew jars to remove food. No problem disassembling a [remotely operated vehicle] then."
