WOMAN HOLDS HIGHLY VENOMOUS BLUE-RINGED OCTOPUS WITHOUT REALISING DANGER WITH VID By Soban Aslam Watch as a beachgoer unknowingly picks up one of the world’s most venomous creatures during a day by the sea. Anna Marie Gultiano, from Bohol, Philippines, captured the moment while exploring a rocky shore with family in Anda, Bohol. The video shows the tiny blue-ringed octopus resting on her hand, its vivid blue markings clearly visible. Fascinated by its striking colours, she gently holds the creature as it crawls across her palm. Moments later, the octopus slips off her hand and swims away into the water. She later discovered that the species is highly venomous, making the encounter both stunning and potentially dangerous. Anna Marie said: "Me and my family were college seashells and seagrapes on a rocky shore when I found a deadly venomous blue-ringed octopus here in Bohol,Philippines" "I was amazed by the colour of the octopus. It crawled onto my hand, then quickly slipped off and swam away." " I later found out that it was venomous." ENDS
