The Giant Pacific Octopus (Octopus dolfeini) is one of the largest species of octopods. Its reddish-brown body, called the mantle, plus four pairs of arms, measure on average about 16 feet long from arm tip to arm tip. This octopus's head is globe-shaped and contains all the octopus' organs and mouth. In the mouth is a beak that is made of the same substance as the human fingernail. The octopus uses the beak to kill prey and bite it into pieces. Each arm contains two alternating rows of suckers, used to catch prey. The Giant Pacific octopus lives along rocky shores in tide pools on the coast from Alaska to southern California. It has the ability to squirt ink at an attacker and escape while hidden by the ink cloud.

The magnet measures 2.5” x 3.5” (6.35 x 8.89cm) with a metal shell, mylar/UV protecting cover and flat magnetic back. The artwork is a reproduction of an original line art drawing by wildlife illustrator Roger Hall.
