The internet is full of interesting moments and this new one where a man gets slapped by an octopus is one of them.
An unsuspecting group of friends were out to capture photos of seals off the east coast town of Kaikōura in the South Island.
They were just taking some photos with their action cameras when they saw a large seal fighting it out with an octopus a couple of metres away.
The friends were in a kayak when they saw this scene. A couple of minutes after looking at this fight, they saw the seal disappearing. However, even before they had the chance to react to it all, the seal reappeared, throwing the octopus towards Kyle Mulinder who is now the guy that got slapped by the octopus.
You can hear Kyle crying out loud after the slap as the octopus slips back into the water.
According to Mulinder:
“I don’t think the seal knew I was there. It all happened so fast I don’t thing I had time to be scared, to be stoked, to be surprised. Man, I got slapped in the face by an octopus.”
The man is going to remember this one slap all his life!
