Scientists found very old octopus fossils. The fossils are 100 million years old. So these octopuses lived with dinosaurs. They were very big. Some were 20 metres long.
Before this, people thought old octopuses were small. Octopuses have soft bodies. Their bodies do not last. Only the hard jaws last. A team in Japan found these jaws.
The jaws had a lot of damage. They were broken and scratched. So the octopuses ate in a strong way. They were big top hunters in the sea.
