Octopus steals diver's camera

  • 14 years ago

A diver has got more than he bargained for after he tested his new underwater camera off the coast of Wellington, New Zealand.

Victor Huang, 31, was caught off guard when an octopus grabbed the £350 camcorder with one of its tentacles and swam off.

To try and get his camera back, Mr Huang held out his speargun to distract the octopus, but it grabbed that too.

He was then forced to carry around the octopus for a few minutes, but the camera kept recording. The footage has since been posted on YouTube.
