Seen here doing its best Kraken impersonation, this is a video of an octopus stealing a diver’s GoPro camera off the coast of Nice, France and making a run for it (previously: the same thing happening to somebody else). The diver has the catch the octopus and pull it out of the water to get it to let go. Octopuses: the kleptos of the deep.

“I was swimming not far from Nice and I saw an octopus. I tried to film it but the octopus grabbed my GoPro, broke my stick and escaped.”

I don’t know, after watching the video several times it looks like he just handed the octopus his camera. But let’s say it was stolen, what did you expect jamming a GoPro in an octopus’s face, for it to smile and say cheese? Octopuses can’t smile or talk. You jam a camera in my face and I’m going to do one of two things: 1) break it, or 2) jam it up your you-know-what. “My butt?” No — worse. “What’s worse than my butt?” Gotcha!

Keep going for the video.
