I hot linked (Figure Flickr wouldn't mind)

and I'm pretty sure its real,doesn't look photo shopped to me.

 

[Kinetic]

just lucky he/she didn't get bit? maybe it's not often that they do bite? hell if a huge person came and picked me up i'd bite them...

 

[kurt72]

r u sure this pic wasn't taken on a corpse?

 

[Grins]

Who in the flip would do that?

 

[Kinetic]

insane... it's basically trying to commit suicide.

TONMO reports that some divers and importers consider it a common and relatively safe thing to do.

But its soooo pretty!! ;-)

 

[machinas]

That it is, but its also very deadly....

Considering that only 3 or 4 people have been confirmed to die from Bluering bite I would immagine that they might be a bit reluctant to do it. Doesn't make this guy much smarter though. He was probly the 3rd or 4th

Thats just wild!

LOL Great pic I wouldn't risk it thought!

bite

bite

This is something I would suggest people not do. I believe he most likely got lucky. Everybody has there day. And better safe than sorry. Nice pic though.

Makes me think about that magician that got bite by a tiger. Just cause it didn't bite this time doesn't mean it won't

 

[Jambi]

When the blue rings flare up doesnt that mean it feels threatened?

I think it is Photoshoped. Do you ever seen an octopus on something with his arm not wrap around it? None of the arm of the Bluering even slightly wrap the fingers.

 

[TikiDan]

I love photoshop!

Yeah and the fact that the tentacles are more out of focus than the fingers at the same depth of field give a clue that it's faked.

Unless the arms (not tentacles ) were in motion.
