A kayaking guide and a group of tourists witnessed an incredible life-and-death fight between a massive fur seal and a giant octopus in New Zealand earlier this week.
The epic confrontation took place at South Bay, on New Zealand’s South Island, on June 20, the New Zealand Herald reports.
Conner Stapley, a guide with Kaikoura Kayaks, saw thrashing on the surface of the water and soon realized the large male seal was attacking the octopus. Stapley and the three tourists he was accompanying got front-row seats to the gruesome battle, which was won by the hungry seal.

If the seal won, was it really “giant” octopus?

I had Navy Seal in mind and knew the outcome was going to be Octo-sushimi.
But . . .

Sometime things you want to eat must be tenderized.

I’d just assumed an 18 foot octo crushed a little seal. But I’m sure an octo that large rarely comes to the surface.

There are actually two videos. You’re right about the first one. Let that one run through. Next one looks like the octo wins...
