A tourist could have paid his curiosity with life, but he found a magnanimous octopus

On Monday, the social network user Reddit, azymaris, released the video of the terrifying moment in which a man took with his hands an octopus with blue rings, deadly cephalopod with enough venom to kill 26 adults in minutes.

The images leave no doubt that the meeting could have fatal consequences. The man has returned to the water the animal whose scientific name is Hapalochlaena.

According to the Daily Mail, the event would have occurred on the Australian beaches of Darwin.

The blue-ringed octopus lives in AustraliaIt is an elusive little specimen that naturalists and photographers have helped a lot.

For the poison capable of ending the lives of nearly three dozen people, there is no antidote. Fortunately, blue-ringed octopus do not naturally attack humans, but fatal events have occurred because they have been trampled or removed from their habitat, as in this video.

With its eight arms, suckers and large eyes, the blue-ringed octopus seduces naturalists on the beaches of Darwin. This place is not suitable for the pleasure of the tourists because it is infested with toxic jellyfish and dangerous animals for the man.

Eleven-year-old Sophie Pix gave her father Aaron shells containing a pair of blue-ringed octopuses inside.

"Sophie picked up that shell and swam with it for a moment. For many reasons, it could have been disastrous, "Aaron, 42, told local media.

"This shell had a cone-shaped and quite complex structure, and it asked me if I could keep it because it was very pretty, and when I took the shells to clean them, there was an octopus with blue rings in the hand ", he added.

The man had the octopus in direct contact with his skin, but it had no consequence to regret.
