Just an octopus hunting a crab ^^A tiny bit of scientific details (you know me): to feed, the octopus envelopes the crab and bites it with its beak, cracking its shell into pieces. At the same time, the salivary glands release a neurotoxin to paralyse the prey. Then, the octopus has to wait a certain amount of time for enzymes to liquefy the crab’s insides, so it can finally lick it out with his radula… Crab milkshake time ![video source] [feeding details source] -- source link
