Octopus Foils Underwater Fish Survey by Stealing Entire Bait Box

Researchers from the Save Our Seas Foundation were trying to count the fish in False Bay, Cape Town by using a baited remote underwater video (BRUV) system. An octopus foiled the survey by running off with the entire bait box. The octopus also fought off a small shark in the process.

Excellent footage.
