[mr86mister]

Awesome, comical, amazing video. Nature at it's finest. Yet the entire time I was thinking these are the native waters for Great Whites....no way jose!

give me a hut by the ocean and a pet octopus....HEAVEN. There is a starfish named George in Costa Maya that bonded with me for 6 hours two years ago....think....MADAGASCAR. 'nuff said.

Amazing that he got the camera back. Don't think I'd be brave enough to chase the thing down, or "play" with it once it was on the gun like that near the end..

I go back and forth as to my "dream" species for a species specific tank....either an octopus or jellyfish. Both of which seem like they are rather short lived for the expense of the unique tank setup you would need to keep them in. Jellyfish are super relaxing to watch though...and well..octopi are just fricken cool/intelligent creatures.

I think an octopus would be cool. A bit more character and a challenge to try to find everyday.
