Huge octopus attacks divers on the seabed

The huge octopus used its tentacles to cling to a swimmer in Japanese waters and find a way to bite people with a sharp beak.

A diver from Mayak Gamov, Russia, was attacked by a giant octopus while exploring the Japanese sea on June 10. The octopus seemed to use a sharp beak hidden in her mouth to bite the diver. After a while clinging to the diver's body, the octopus gave up and slipped into the rock hole at the bottom of the sea.

The diver was not injured after the clash with the octopus. Before swimming away, the octopus also changes the body color to blend into the sea floor.

Giant octopus can weigh up to 68kg, often shy when near humans. However, in some cases, octopus can wrestle with divers, like an accident in 2014 in California, USA.

Octopus is the smartest invertebrate animal on Earth. They often live in cold coastal waters, including California, Oregon, Washington in the US, Russia, Japan and along the Korean Peninsula.
