OCTOPUS STEALS MY VIDEO
CAMERA AND SWIMS OFF WITH IT
MUST
SEE

W

hile trying to get video of a wild octopus, it
suddenly dashed towards me and rips my
shiny new camera from out of my hands, then
swims off, all while the camera is recording! He
swam away very quickly like a naughty shoplifter.
After a 5 minute chase, I placed my speargun
underneath him and he quickly and curiously

grabbed hold of the gun as well, giving me enough
time to reach in and grab the camera from out of
his mouth. I didn’t feel threatened at all during the
whole ordeal. He seemed to be fixated on the shiny
metallic blue digital camera. the only confusing
behavior was how he dashed off with it like a thief
ha ha cheeky octopus.
