That is one of the most remarkable things I have ever seen.

I was always under the impression that invertebrates tended to be prey not predators.

Amasing! I have seen them eat each other, well, the aftermath anyway but a shark? While I was comm fishing I always hated killing them but 6-8 50-80 lb octos at $1.25/lb is hard to pass up when your starving. Amasing critters. So now the question is do sperm whales attack giant squid or visa versa????????

Christi:

I think this will pull the thread up closer to the top making it easier for you to find.

Wow! They always seem so gentle and timid when I've come across them. Who knew they could take a shark! Sea creatures rule!

After watching this, it seems that the perfect predator is perfect prey without much in the way of a defense.

What is not clear to me is the cause of death. Drowning?

that is amazing! That is all I can say.

I can't seem to see it. :frown2: I'm not sure if the page is mac compatible or not. I can get to the page, but there is nothing to click on or anything to see a video.

same problem here. Any Mac OSX users have advice?

That was amazing. Octopus eating sharks and here I thought it was the other way around. Watch out the next time your around a hungry octopus.
