Yes, this really happened...
A man kayaking off the coast of New Zealand’s South Island was smacked in the face with an airborne octopus unleashed by a seal.
Bet that's a sentence you never thought you'd read.
It seems the kayaker may have gotten between the seal and its lunch... and luckily the whole thing was magically caught on Kyle Mulinder's GoPro.
The video shows the seal lunging up out of the water with the octopus clutched in its mouth, and then flinging it at Kyle.
Check out the insane video here:
Kyle’s Instagram who is a GoPro content creator (conveinient), said: “My face happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
That may be true Kyle, but we're so glad you were!
