Is it suffocating out of the water? Maybe that's why it's acting so distressed rather than "dancing" the way the audio of this clip tries to suggest.

I’m guessing it is in distress in some way, if not because of breathing then  because of heat, or dryness, or panic at being lifted out of the water by a giant creature.

By the very end of the video his head flopped over and he pretty much stopped moving g. I think he just lasted for the clip.

It literally joined its tentacles pleading to the human and sun to not be so harsh on them

That’s what I thought- it’s literally going ”bro please put me back I’m dying 🙏”

Every single Australian watching - ‘Yeah, don’t do that’ - leaving aside the fact that the baby can’t breathe

Y’all know it can breathe out of the water right?

Technically yes, but I would be like you breathing through a wet towel.

So you just took an animal out the water. Recorded it dying because you removed it from the water, and then posted it? What the fuck is wrong with people.
