1. Wow musta been incredible to play a game of chase with one of these amazing creatures!
2. Octopus stole my bike?
3. I feel sorry for them because they are so intelligent and they seldom have other intelligent life to play with all bored on the bottom of the ocean (except for dumb fish). Hopefully a dolphin or whale (or any smart sea mammal) will come along and play with them now and again. I wish more people didn't fear animals just because they don't look like them.
4. After watching this, and a few other videos demonstrating their advanced problem solving abilities, I believe it. I mean any animal can sense that the object isn't food right away, and even they couldn't, the diver would appear to be too much of a threat to stay and fight for it. The only logical explanation, as you implied, was to have fun.
5. Octopuses do this all the time with divers out of boredom. What's DIFFERENT here is that this diver chased it and it wasn't expecting the diver to be so determined. Once the octopus saw that he had new respect for the diver so he became friendly and realized he could have more fun playing with him now that he knew the diver wasn't afraid.
6. Lol, too funny. It's amazing how it's doing this for no obvious gain - other than (possibly) the fun of it?
7. I'll punch an octopus...
8. I love octopus' they're such cuties -3 and I'm amazed by the fact they change colour due to their mood

18. I like the fact that you got the camera back with your speargun, and then you took the octopus for a ride on the speargun instead of shooting it. :3 i think it was nice. Thank you for posting. sincerely, a 14 year old girl.

octopus steals my video camera and swims off with it (while it's Recording)

while trying to get video of a wild octopus, it suddenly dashed towards me and rips my shiny new camera from out of my hands, then swims off, all while the camera is recording! he swam away very quickly like a naughty shoplifter. after a 5 minute chase, I placed my speargun underneath him and he quickly and curiously grabbed hold of the gun as well, giving me enough time to reach in and grab the camera from out of his mouth. I didn't feel threatened at all during the whole ordeal. he seemed to be fixated on the shiny metallic blue digital camera. the only confusing behavior was how he dashed off with it like a thief haha. cheeky octopus. songs by: Vincent Gillioz - Car Chase Dalmatian Rex and the Eigentones - Octopus I Love You thanks for watching, and remember life is too short to spend it in front of a tv or at the shopping mall......get out there and live it up! these moments of beauty exist every single second in nature. love, vic 2 excellent dive shops in Wellington, New Zealand: http://www.ibdivers.co.nz http://www.splashgordon.co.nz
