Fisherman rescue eagle from clutches of octopus

The crew who worked with Mowi Canada West fish farm shared a video of a giant Pacific octopus locking an eagle near a fjord, northwest of Vancouver island, before separating the two in their unlikely fight.

The company's Facebook post said that their crews are used to seeing the wonders of nature on a regular basis, but this was a "once in a lifetime" encounter. "The eagle that had bitten off more than it could chew when it tried to catch an octopus", it added.

The octopus swam away unharmed, the eagle was recovering on a nearby branch before flying away.
