Beachgoer Tries To Pry Open Odd Shell, Seconds Later, Hidden Sea Creature Leaps Out.

man finds octopus inside shell

If you’ve ever seen the 1979 film “Alien,” you’ll no doubt remember the scene when the alien pops out of the guy’s stomach while they’re having dinner. (My dad took me to see that movie when I was five years old — he swears he thought it was a kid’s movie – and I had nightmares for I don’t know how long.)

Think about that scene and the horror you felt as you watch the video below.

A man was hanging out on a beach in Cambodia a couple years back when a cockle shell caught his eye.

He could tell something was hiding in there and spent the better part of a minute rolling it around and trying to pry it open.

When he finally managed to pull the shells apart, the man yells out and jumps back. A small octopus flops out.

You may know that octopi are creatures of the night. This itty-bitty guy was probably just trying to get some shut-eye before heading out for some nocturnal grub.

Talk about a rude awakening. The octopus bats at the beachgoer with its arms then tries to make a run for it.
