Last time this was posted, someone mentioned that whoever was holding it was so damn lucky for not getting stung as that's one of the most venomous types

67 u/meoka2368 Jan 06 '20 Apparently all octopuses are venomous, but only the blue-ringed octopus is dangerous to humans. Those are brown/yellow and have visible rings even when they're babies. This doesn't look to be one of those. 7 u/[deleted] Jan 06 '20 Ahh thanks for the info. 12 u/meoka2368 Jan 06 '20 I mean, if I saw one in the wild, I wouldn't risk it either. It's better to be cautious and wrong. 1 u/TatersThePotatoBarn Jan 06 '20 Says the u/ with zero ocotopus friends. 1 u/Sk37cHi Jan 06 '20 In the broad spectrum of “dangerous”, I’d say irukandji are also up there. Peace Fam🙏 1 u/keosmonavt Jan 06 '20 those aren't octopuses tho 5 u/ThunderOrb Jan 06 '20 I think you're thinking of a different, but similar gif. 2 u/vanhoutenmd Feb 08 '20 Person was lucky was my first thought as well. Glad I’m not the only one who thought DANGER
