Octopunch: Seal Slaps Kayaker In The Face With An Octopus

After yesterday’s Kavanaugh hearing, a number of Senators may know how Taiyo Masuda, 23, felt this week when a seal surfaced only to slap him in the face with a live octopus.  Not one of the things one prepares for on a kayaking trip in New Zealand.

A filmmaker captured the moment below.  It turns out that it was not personal, just business.  The seal was just trying to rip off a tentacle with the throw.
