The video below shows a bald eagle off the coast of British Columbia, Canada fighting for its life in the grips of a giant octopus. It was recorded by Mowi Canada West, a salmon farm operation.

“Our staff at our Mahatta West farm in Quatsino rescued an eagle that had bitten off more than it could chew when it tried to catch an octopus. They are used to seeing the wonders of nature around them on a regular basis, but they knew that this was a once in a lifetime experience. The octopus swam away unharmed and the eagle recovered on a branch for around 10 minutes before it flew away.”

I like to think the eagle returned to his nest to tell the crazy story of how he survived the eight-tentacled grips of death thanks to some humans on a boat with a pole. His ‘wife’ probably had a hard time believing that story as an explanation for why he was late to dinner.

Anybody else also wondering if an octopus can even eat a bald eagle? 🤔
