Scientists have identified a large octopus that lived during the Cretaceous period, with some reports suggesting it was around 60 feet long and others estimating it was 62 feet long. The creature is described as having powerful, bone-crushing jaws and is considered to have been an apex predator of the ocean at that time. Fossilized jaws are cited as evidence of the octopus's existence and size, with some outlets referring to it as "kraken-like".
