DUNSBOROUGH, Australia - It may not be a Kraken, but an octopus swimming along Geographe Bay in Australia has plenty of attitude.Just ask Lance Karlson, who posted footage of his March 18 encounter with "the angriest octopus in Geographe Bay." He spotted it attacking a seagull and decided to have a closer look.Moments later, Karlson shouted "Oh golly" as the tentacles came flying his way.
He left the area without a mark but wasn’t so lucky when he returned to the ocean for a swim later on.Karlson said he found the octopus’ home among a crab graveyard where it came after him again, this time striking him on the neck."My goggles were too fogged to see what had happened and I swam back to shore in pain," Karlson told the Aussie news outlet.
