«Breaking News» Scientists reveal what really happened when a seal threw an octopus at a kayaker

An unruly seal which shocked a kayaker by throwing an octopus in his face was trying to stun its prey before eating it, scientists have revealed.  

The surprising incident was captured on a GoPro camera off the coast of Kaikoura, on New Zealand's South Island.

Kyle Mulinder was paddling when the seal burst out of the water, launched into the air and whipped the octopus directly into his face.

The seal was trying to stun the octopus and mistook Mr Mulinder for a rock, according to scientists from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in New Zealand.

The group of content creators were out testing a new GoPro model off the coast of the South Island when Kyle Mulinder (pictured) was caught up in a battle between a seal and octopus

'Seals will often try and get their prey out of the water and above the surface to gain the upper hand in a tussle,' NIWA posted on Facebook. 

'Once out of the water they will try flinging them about to stun them.

'At that point it is normal for a seal to try to fling the octopus against a hard object to tear the octopus apart. So to the seal, the kayaker seemed like a reasonable enough object.' 

Mr Muliner said he was sitting in the middle of the ocean when the seal suddenly emerged.   

'I was like ''Mate, what just happened?''' he said.

'I was like "Mate, what just happened?"' The double-whammy was captured on a GoPro off the coast of Kaikoura, New Zealand

'It was weird because it happened so fast but I could feel all the hard parts of the octopus on my face like ''dum dum dum''.'

He winced and screamed as his peers erupted into laughter. 

Although the octopus put up a good fight, Mr Mulinder said the seal came out on top.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
