A kayaker in New Zealand got the shock of a life while out testing a new camera for GoPro.
Video recording met opportunity as a seal appeared out of the water and slapped 23 year old Taiyo Masuda with with an Octopus in the face.
It happened in an instant: A seal surfaces near a kayaker, octopus in tow. The seal whips its head, smacking the boater with the mollusc. The man is left stunned.
