Usually when we write about wildlife encounters on the trail, we’re covering stories of bear attacks or defensive moose, but a group of Washington hikers recently got the surprise of their lives when they came across a giant octopus just off the trail.<\/p>\n
“What is this thing doing right here?” asks Micah Moehller,in a video he shared to Reddit, which you can view below.<\/p>\n
Moehller reveals he was hiking Clark’s Point, a coastal hike in a wooded peninsula in Bellingham when he came across the extraordinary scene of a Giant Pacific octopus swimming in a shallow tide pool.<\/p>\n
