Octopus hunts down stone fish, one of the most venomous animals in the ocean

Footage of the incredible moment an octopus bravely hunts down an extremely venomous stone fish off the coast of Egpyt.
The video, filmed by a diver in June this year, shows the large octopus chasing down the creature, apparently unconcerned by its lethal stings.
The filmer later wrote online: “Why does the stone fish not use its incredibly poisonous stings?
“Maybe the octopus is immune to this lethal predator or he is intelligent to a point that he knows how to catch the stone fish, avoiding the dangerous stings.”
