Holy Tamoly .. . excellent footage . ..

 

[Richard]

Who would guess an octopuss could kill or even eat a shark

 

[Dtilton]

is that for real?!?! Where/How was that shot???? CRAZY!!!!!

 

[MAReefer1]

woa...thats one big octopus

 

[Moe_K]

The shark didn't fight much...

 

[cobraz]

OK, note to self - no Octipie in my tank, manage trying to clean that tank... here kitty kitty.

 

[this is me]

ahhhh....that shark was a pu$$y! weakling!

 

[Beeker]

I feel better about some of the mistakes I have made new tankmates now

 

[S Hunter]

i bet thats not reef tank SAFE!

 

[Scuba_Dave]

That shark didn't seem that big...I didn't listen to the audio
Seems like it was filmed in a large tank - Seattle Aquarium - caption is Octopus in a shark tank...OK

Kind of irresponsible if you ask me
A mystery?? Duh
They filmed it stalking the shark

 

[Ray]

Can someone tell me what they are using to view it? I keep getting missing plugins but dont know what they are to install them and it says none found!

 

[GinaD]

I have Quick-time and it played fine.

The audio explains that 3-4 foot sharks were dying and they couldn't figure out why, so one night someone filmed it. They never imagined an octopus would eat a shark.

you may not be getting the prompt to install the latest quick time if you have pop-up blocker turned on.

They add an "Giant Pacific Octupus" to a tank...and sharks start dying
They do have degrees right?
They are known predators & meat eaters
Also Octopi are known as one of the more highly intelligent creatures

"The Giant Octopus is an important component of coastal ecosystems from the Pacific Northwest to Japan, both as predator and prey of economically important species (e.g. as predator on crabs, clams, shrimp; as prey of halibut, cod, dogfish shark and pollock). "

Perhaps they should search the Internet next time they need to make a decision

...or ask BRS first [smilie=1,30,21]

I totally agree. When I first watched the clip I was at work and didn't have audio. I thought it was just a lucky filming caught in the wild.

I think that is one that any reefing beginner could answer for them!!!!!
