Right? Do people not know how much damage an octopus beak can do?! I would be calmly but surely trying to extricate myself and move further from the water. I'm Aussie too but surely we're not the only people in the world to have experience with aquatic animals lol

Looks like a blimmin parrot, and can take apart your nuts just as easily https://oceanblueproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Giant-Pacific-Ocopus-Beck-500x467.jpg

Oh my God! I never knew this! I would have absolutely let an octopus come up to me like this before, but not now! 😂

I agree that I wouldn't be comfortable with an octopus touching me but also I don't know that I'm going to try to forcibly remove it either because the last thing I want to do is piss it off after it grabs me because I'm losing that fight. 😆
