And finally: Sucker Punch
From sender-innersย Karen F. and AJ, here’s a once-in-a-lifetime video of a sea lion slapping a kayaker with an octopus.
Meanwhile in New Zealand… ๐ Caption this for your chance to earn a #GoProHERO7 Black. ๐

This one from 20 cats Being… is just too much.
That was my favorite too.
Fun fact about Hannah Shaw, aka Kitten Lady – her dad is Tommy Shaw, from Styx.
I love that seal giving the yob in the kayak the ‘sucker punch special’. (Poor octopus though.)
Haha, yeah. I feel bad for the octopus, but that didn’t stop me from laughing. It’s just so ridiculous! You’ve gotta wonder what was going through the sea lion’s head.
Probably something like “Get offa my lawn!”
In this article they mention the orcas almost ‘showing off’– maybe this seal was oh ya, and essentially kicking sand in the yob’s face. I would like to think at least. ๐ Still feel sorry for the hapless octupus!

I share your emotions and wonders, BFB. I keep playing the video so I can laugh some more.
It left me wondering, who was the seal mad at, the kayaker, or the octopus?
Interesting point Patty- hmmmm.
Maybe both…
Troja hiking with her human in the Norwegian countryside! Gorgeous dog, countryside, and photographs! it’s great to see a pet having such interesting and satisfying life.
I concur. Those photos blew me away.
I didn’t get past doggie in a hat before melting.
I feel like someone hit me with a cold Octopus!
Those red panda cubs killt me ded with their floofiness. Why oh why can’t I have one? They’ve got two!
As for varieties of meows, several of ours have a “distress yowl” which means “I am about to barf on the carpet!” Good signal to come running with some newspaper and try to get it in front of them before they do it.
Gawwwd, the red panda babies need their own warning label. Ded, ded, ded!!
