“The most spectacular octopus in Geographay Bay” is what Australian geologist Lance Carlson describes a mollusk found on a beach in Dunsboro, southwestern Australia. After seeing an animal attacking a seagull, he and his 2-year-old daughter entered the sea animal’s landmarks.
The case occurred on 18 March and spread worldwide after Carlson was published. Current video on my instagram – The record totals about 250 thousand views by this Saturday (3). In the post, the Australian report states that he once again came across an octopus in an area where many crabs had hooves. But this time, it hurt.
According to what he told To the newspaper new York Times, Octopus attacks hit the geologist’s arm and neck with his snare. The water became cloudy and its glasses fogged. Fortunately, the injury was not serious: there were only red marks on the skin.
As the octopus expert Judit Pungor, a researcher at the University of Oregon (USA) explained to the American newspaper, these mollusks have no poison in the suction cups of their nets.
Peter Ulrich Ts, who studied octopus cognition at Dartmouth College (USA), believes that the animal did not even try to attack Carlson, but only to get there. “Octopuses advance or set fire when they feel that a fish, another octopus or a human is in their place. I think it is often a preventive aggression, to ‘harm the invader’.” The ‘invader’ is designed to ‘mess with me’ to signal seriousness rather than harm. new York Times After watching the video.
Carlson agreed and told the newspaper that he did not intend to go to that beach. He also hopes that his video will not encourage people to stop liking the octopus or mistreat him. He wants everyone to “love these beautiful creatures and not treat them with contempt”, as he declared for publication.
