Description
We were on our way to see some humpback whales in the Juan de Fuca Strait when we saw some splashing in the distance. We approached and were amazed to see this battle going on between a giant pacific octopus and a steller sea lion. It lasted about 20 minutes, with lots of thrashing, throwing the octopus around and eventually swallowing it.
