Snapshot from the viral video
Videos of wildlife and marine life are popular with everyone. It takes a lot of work and risk to capture them. Historically, there have been many cases where people have been injured or have lost their lives while photographing wild animals in their natural environments. Something similar happened lately when a woman got very close to an octopus while it was being filmed in a video.
Here’s the video
The woman can be seen swimming next to the octopus in the video. A blogger on Instagram going by the handle zanzibar_mermaid posted the video; her bio states that she is a certified freediver. The woman is swimming in the blue aquatic realm with an octopus. A wonderful scene is created as the octopus remains calm and unafraid of the woman’s presence.
The video was shared with a caption that read, “Did you know that octopuses have three hearts, nine brains, and blue blood?”
