SYDNEY, NSW - JANUARY 24: A Blue Ring Octopus is pictured at Oceanworld Aquarium January 24, 2006 in Sydney, Australia. This Octopus has venom called cephalotoxin, and is composed from enzymes in the salivary gland in its mouth. The venom is a neuromuscular paralysing toxin, where nerve conduction in the victim is blocked, followed by paralysis, then death if no medical treatment is sought. Often the bite is painless, and therefore goes unnoticed. The Blue Ring Octopus is so named because of its iridescent blue rings, indicating its deadly nature to predators. Australia is home to some of the most deadly and poisonous animals on earth. (Photo by Ian Waldie/Getty Images)

Giant Octopus Engulfs A Scuba Diver (VIDEO)

Rich Fields Rich Fields April 22nd, 2019

Three divers off the coast of Canada’s Vancouver Island discover as giant octopus camouflaged in the rocks and plants. When one of the divers goes in for a closer look, the animal decided it wants a closer look at her as well. It extends its legs to touch her arms and shoulders, then starts to engulf her whole head.

When they engulf their prey, they inject them with paralyzing salvia and then dismember them with their beaks!  Thankfully one of the other divers came over to assist and untangled them.

This is very scary as these incredible creatures can grow to a 16 foot span and weight upwards of 110 pounds. As you will see in this amazing footage, the creature had transformed to replicate his surroundings.

The diver got their close encounter alright. A little too close if you ask me.
