Damn, Moray eel did better death roll than crocodile.

Losses one arm.

Him: Call me Heptapus from now on.

Seen multple of these attacks, usually the octopus is dead as often as not, so this guy was smart and lucky. Those eels are amazing hunters, really the wolverines of the reef.

Did you see how it blocked its head with its arm? So smart. As it tried to propulse away It aimed the sand and some ink into the eels face and the eel lost its bearings for a bit. It had enough time to sacrifice its arm and not its head.

That moray legit paused just to say "surprise motherfucker" before carrying on it's attack.

The moray went in thinking he was a gator, he used a deathroll!

Just goes to show how quickly an eel can eff up your day if it decides it doesn't like you. For the most part they're very docile and hardly a threat but they're also very unpredictable... probably even more so than sharks.

Little fish: "this fight should be legendary."

That was incredible. That eel was not playing around. Cool to watch octopus change color and shape. Awesome footage and great video

Octopus : Finally, I'm alone
Eel : Let me introduce myself

[krake]

the fish must have thought: this neighborhood was once less dangerous

Moray eels seem to be made to eat octopi. They have two sets of jaws to absolutely secure a bite on the octopus, they have the ability to tie themselves into knots for leverage to rip octopus to shreds, they're skinny and long to get into spots where octopus hide. I might be wrong but I feel like eels adapt over time to specifically eat octopus. They must be a huge part of an eels diet.

Octopus is a genius. Quick with the mace and protected it’s head from the criminal assailant.

Wise scientists say aliens 👽 are already here in octopus form.

The way the Yellow Moray surprised the octopus at the corner was terrifying. It’s amazing how the octopus got away like it did a magic trick. I had to watch again because I thought the camera man turned to film another octopus. Awesome video

[chimyshark]

omg, that moray pounced so quickly, the world really is such a dangerous place for wild animals. and the octopus reacted so quickly with a perfect headshot, but was completely useless. freakin crazy stuff going on here.

[niwrad]

Octopus: oohh... Not today moray, here have a leg 🐙🤣

[tntbossthrone]

People say octopus is smart for giving up arm


The eel that was trying to get 1 arm: 😁

Octopus: "I didn't have to deal with this mess in my home planet!"
