Fairly shallow water.

Suddenly, she's...

reaching up for the surface like that.

My Octopus Teacher

1.2s

Initially, I thought...

My Octopus Teacher

"She's hunting the fish."

My Octopus Teacher

When she hunts, she's strategic, and she's like...

My Octopus Teacher

focused.

My Octopus Teacher

2.7s

This behavior doesn't feel predatory to me."

My Octopus Teacher

My Octopus Teacher

1.8s

rushed over...

My Octopus Teacher

grabbed hold of me.

My Octopus Teacher

3.5s

And that was the last time we had physical contact.
