Those Things Can Fit Anywhere - Octopus Emerges From Shell and Escapes Fisherman's Boat

A shellfish caught by a fisherman in Suruga Bay, Japan, was not what it first appeared.

A member of a fishing party, Ai Miura, took this video as an octopus emerged from a shell and leaped off the side of a boat to return to the water. She uploaded the video to Twitter on July 7.
