Ninja octopus jumps out of the water and catches crab on dry land [video]

If you are afraid of octopuses or sea creatures in general, it may not be a good idea to watch the video above. Shot by a woman in Western Australia's Yallingup region, the scene shows one of the eight-tented sea creatures jumping out of the water and catching an unsuspecting crab before promptly dragging it into the depths.

With over 9 million views on YouTube, the video exploded over the internet and generated a lot of fun reactions on social networks. "I'm pretty sure this octopus was the main villain of the movie 'No Limit of Tomorrow, '" said a Twitter user. Others even joked that this would be a blatant training of marine beings for their great assault on land grabs.

Terrifying or not, the fact is that the recording is at least an impressive demonstration of nature's cunning and skill. And you, what did you think of the video? Will you have nightmares? Buy a tentacle-resistant shelter? Leave your opinion in the comments.
