while 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 haha. cheeky octopus. songs by: Vincent Gillioz - Car Chase Dalmatian Rex and the Eigentones - Octopus I Love You thanks for watching, and remember life is too short to spend it in front of a tv or at the shopping mall......get out there and live it up! these moments of beauty exist every single second in nature. love, vic

Ah nevermind, let's take a ride. Octopus Mind : . . . Why the Octopus did not released his black thing ?? I think it's an defense reaction, shouldn't he have released it?

Sep 3, 2010 - This is what happens to the paparazzi when they film marine life underwater. Don't worry, it happened to me with a Great White shark that didn't like his pic taken while filming off the Great Reef. Your lucky, my camera was digested!!!
