An astonishing video is going viral this week showing a seal do something to a kayaker that nobody was expecting.
Kyle Mulinder was kayaking off the coast of New Zealand when he got the surprise of his life!
“Yes I got slapped in the face with an octopus by the seal! I know crazy right,” Kyle began his Instagram post alongside a video that showed what happened.
Kyle went on to say that he was out with three other kayakers testing out his new GoPro camera when he came upon a big male seal battling an octopus.
“Before we knew it the fight came to us and well the rest is slap to the face,” Kyle wrote. “I’m not sure who got more of a surprise — the seal, the octopus or me. Either way, the octopus held onto the bottom of kayak for some time before our guide was able to get it off with his paddle then it swam away to fight another day. True story.”
Taiyo Masuda said that it was a moment that they will never forget.
“We are all adventure guys but we don’t encounter that every day!” Taiyo said. “Such a raw moment, brought us so much laughter to all of us all day long…What a day to remember!”
