The famous Shark Vs. Octopus video.
Story has one error. NO way the octopus ingested the gull in under a minute. The octopus has a neak..like a parrot’s beak..very sharp..it throws its mantle over the prey, then leisurely tears it apart and eats it..

Octopi are about as smart as a cat. If fact they are almost the full-water version of a cat.
They like humans, and will stay with you in the water if you don’t pose as ANY kind of threat, just like cats.
They used to keep an octopus in a big tank over at the Hatfield Science Center on the Oregon Coast. Faculty who worked late would hear a big SPLAT & come running with dustpans to put it back. For some reason, it wanted out!
Wow; never saw that one before. Thanks, T.
I’ve seen an octopus do this up on Sonora Island - assassin of the deep! These octopi will scuttle in and out of the water at low tide to grab likely looking eats on the shore.
Between them and the black bears, it’s a wonder any crabs lived on the rocky strand at all!
Talk about bad ass, Cod will attack an octopus, and will spin furiously to twist off an appendage. The Octopus is doomed once it loses 3 or 4. I wish I could find the video on the net.
Good gravy, Ginger. Grow up. The natural world of Mama Gia is cruel.
What a stupid line.
**To commemorate witnessing and photographing this amazing event, Ginger, Ken and Lou went out for a calamari lunch.**
They ate squid to celebrate an octopus eating a bird.
