Massive octopus attacks diver, drags equipment through sea

A massive octopus attacks a diver in Primorsky Krai, in Russia's Far East, wrapping itself around his arms and equipment as he attempts to pry himself from its grasp. The diver eventually frees himself, but the octopus clings on to the diver's camera rig as he tosses it away.

Pretty wild how the octopus clung to the diver's mask, as if he instinctively knew that was the breathing apparatus 😂😂 Sea life wins again and again

Respect animals in the wild. That diver learned that the hard way.

A similar thing happened to another guy only he remained calm and let the octopus check to his camera and him until the animal was no longer curious and swam away. Octopuses are always curious about everything.
