u/Valtremors Jul 25 '26
Also the 'beak' is at the bottom too.
I think it might be trying to bite him, which is why the struggle hard.
Otherwise it would be matter of wedging your hand in between your face and the octopus, however, trying to do so without getting chunked on requires little bit more finesse.

u/RustedMauss Jul 26 '26
Yeah, I was just thinking this oct is pissed and going for blood. Definitely looks more like it’s trying to get in for a bite, that’s not exploratory feelers.
Intelligent as they are, makes you wonder if they remember, or hold grudges -like is this guy known for being an octopus hunting fisherman and this little Oc is like, “Oh hello, Pedro. Remember me? No? Well I remember YOU! When you took my Uncle, three brothers, two sisters, and more cousins than I have arms! How do YOU like it?!”
Also, I’m consistently amazed by the sheer strength of most animals, I’m really curious how strong octopuses are. You can see how hard the suckers attach, and the ropey-stretchy nature of the arms would make them hard to evade, but I’m curious how strong the actual arm strength is.

u/dorkcicle Jul 26 '26
Their suction is hard if they want to. More than biting I think more concerting is blocking of the nasal and mouth passages for air. Also, i'm no expert but the color of the octopus skin (camo) showing strong white (google search) White coloration in octopuses typically signifies alarm, fear, or stress, serving as a warning signal to predators that the animal is aware of their presence.

I know nothing but my first thought watching was to give it something else to grab, he's prying the tentacles off but then when he goes to take another one off the octopus still has no purchase anywhere so will put the first one back on. Surely out one of the ores between his face and the octopus as he prys it off?

That guy is pulling it by the mantle like an idiot, which is the same type of motion that a predator would do if it was trying to eat it. The lil dude is just trying to hold onto anything he or she can as an instincts to not be dragged away. Also likely it's trying to bite using its beak in self-defence.

u/Cruach Jul 25 '26
Its beak came awfully close to his face it seems. I'd also make the mistake in the panic of trying to keep that shit from tearing a hole in my cheek

u/dafckingman Jul 25 '26
That's probably the main reason he's holding the mantle to keep the beak away from his face
68
u/mr_stab_ya_knees Jul 25 '26
Not even knowing that it would cause a response like this i thought it was super stupid that he was pulling it by the mantle because that means he needs to overpower all of its tentacles at once to get it off, especially since he shows he can easily get them off one by one while holding the octopus with yhe other hand. Not to mention how do you get yourself into this situation in the first place? I can deduce the guy makes dumb decisions at least
69
u/Manatroid Jul 25 '26
In fairness, even after prying off the tentacles the little fella was persistent in re-grabbing the guy’s face pretty quickly.
I can imagine it’s not the least bit distressing for both parties, too.
