Octopus Gets Pushy

Occurred on September 12, 2023 / Exmouth, Western Australia, Australia

: "An irritated Octopus on Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia took its frustrations out by shoving a fish in its way. (Later, the fish that the octopus pushed gets revenge and bites at the octopus in a separate video.) This funny and rare animal encounter is often talked about but there are very few wildlife videos of it in action. Toward the middle of the video, a colorful wrasse fish jumps into action, as if it is the octopus's bodyguard! This colorful fish swims directly at the camera menacingly. This video was taken on a GoPro10 in September 2023 near Exmouth, Australia."
