If I remember correctly, the guy holding the octopus had terminal cancer and was traveling around doing dangerous things before he died.

I honestly want to know the story behind this picture. Maybe their venom glands can be removed?

There’s also a video of a woman holding one not realizing what it is. "my first reaction was just “pick it up”
Meanwhile, in Mexico, an octopus swam near my brother and I and we both got the fuck out the water like it had turned to lava lmao

A fish about a foot long jumped out of the water within arm’s reach of me while swimming at a Florida beach. First thought was what might be hunting that fish. I got out for a while.

Take it with a grain of salt: I remember reading years ago that the person handling the octopus was suffering from degenerative disease, and losing his fight against liver cancer. So, he wasn’t fazed about the prospect of a fatal bite.
