26 Final Photos Taken Seconds Before Shocking Tragedy

17. A Bit Clingy

 Emerging from the ocean in Australia, this man was shocked to find he had picked up a hitchhiker whilst in the water as an octopus clung desperately to his back. Given that Australian waters are home to the deadly Blue Ringed Octopus, this could have been an incredibly scary moment for the gentleman.

A tiny and beautiful octopus that looks rather stunning, it is quite often missed as it hides in amongst coral reefs. With a painless bite that can go unnoticed, within five or ten minutes they can induce paresthesias, numbness, muscular weakness and a difficulty breathing and swallowing. Luckily, the octopus was extricated without harm bar pinched and visibly pink skin.
