New Delhi: A boatman out in the ocean in New Zealand got a bolt from the blue when he was slapped by a seal while he was cruising in the water.
In the video on Instagram, Kayaker Kyle Mulinder can be seen enjoying his water ride when all of a sudden a seal appears beside him and then slaps him with an octopus.
He took to Instagram and w.rote: “"Yes I got slapped in the face with an octopus by the seal! I know crazy right."
As per the Kayaker, he was out in the ocean with a group of other paddlers and was testing his camera when an octopus landed on his face.
As per reports the large male seal was fighting with an octopus and soon the seal was able to overpower the octopus and flung it in air, but it ended up landing at Mulinder’s face.
“Before we knew it the fight came to us and well the rest is slap to the face. I’m not sure who got more of a surprise the seal, the octopus or me. Either way the octopus held onto the bottom of kayak for some time before our guide was able to get it off with his paddle then it swam away to fight another day. True story,” he wrote
