    Giant Octopus Eats Sharks at Aquarium

    The giant octopus is extremely common throughout the Pacific North West and they held a regular spot on display of the Seattle Aquarium over the years.

As it turns out they were tragically mistaken.

    What was happening in aquarium was a mystery. Each week keepers were finding shark carcasses in the bottom of the tank. Week after week the three to four feet sharks kept vanishing. So one night someone staid up to see who the culprit was...

    Never would have thought that a shark would be that defenseless against an Octopuss.

    Really Cool...

    What is especially cool is that the octopus are so smart that they even know to turn a shark upside down to put them to sleep (tonic immobility)...amazing video
