Check out these amazing shots from a woman in B.C., Cananda. She noticed the seagull acting strangely and not pulling its head out of the water. As she looked closer, she realized it was being attacked by a Pacific Octopus! Amazing photos ensued...

See all the photos here.

Great post Travis, thanks, I think to complement this news I would like to post this video Octopus related too which I found yesterday.

Giant Octopus Eats Sharks at Aquarium - YouTube

This is the extract from the video description in YouTube:

"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. But when the keepers decided to move one into a larger tank with sharks and other big fish they assumed that octopus' strength and camouflage would keep it safe. 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..."
