VIDEO: Octopus jumps out of water, attacks crab; begins quest for instellar domination?

(Before It's News)

An Australian woman has captured video of an octopus leaping from the water and capturing prey on land, dragging it to its cold, wet end.

The eight-legged menace, latching onto the edge of the pool and flinging itself out of the water, overpowers the unsuspecting crab effortlessly. In a brief, futile struggle, predator and prey take a tumble into another pool

The many-limbed horror succeeds in capturing the crab, having already swallowed half of it, and slowly drags it across the rocky terrain, flailing whatever limbs it has to spare is if to warn the camerawoman, “You’re next,” before withdrawing back into the watery chasm from whence it came.

Holy shit, indeed.
