Watch As An Octopus Beats Up A Shark And Steal A Can Of Food [Video]
Even though it might not seem like it octopuses are very smart marine animals as they have been known to escape from supposedly escape proof aquariums and fit into space that would seem impossible given their size. They are also known for being very inquisitive and able to work though problems in order to get food, much like in this video.
The video, which was shot by Lauren De Vos of the University of Cape Town’s Marine Research Institute captures one such octopus that decided it wanted the bait canister and no-one, including a pajama catshark was going to stop him.
