Victor Huang, a San Francisco man living in New Zealand, had his shiny, brand new underwater camera stolen from him by an octopus. The octopus swam away with the camera and Victor Huang chased after it.


while trying to get video of a wild octopus, it suddenly dashes towards me and rips my shiny new camera from out of my hands, then swims off, all while the camera is recording! he swam away very quickly like a naughty shoplifter. after a 5 minute chase, I placed my speargun underneath him and he quickly and curiously grabbed hold of the gun as well, giving me enough time to reach in and grab the camera from out of his mouth. I didn't feel threatened at all during the whole ordeal. he seemed to be fixated on the shiny metallic blue digital camera. the only confusing behavior was how he dashed off with it like a thief haha. cheeky octopus.

The video and an interview Victor Huang did with CBS News anchor Harry Smith are below. Take a look:
