Off the coast of the Philippines, a fisherman had to fight off an octopus. First, the man tried to pull the animal off with his hands, and then began beating it with bamboo.
Fisherman Jesser Cervantes noted that octopuses often behave this aggressively after being caught. The mollusk that attacked the fisherman is believed to be a common octopus. Representatives of this species can reach up to 1.3 meters in length and weigh up to 10 kilograms. They are venomous, but their venom is not fatal to humans.
