Is that a baby octopus? My graphics suck on this pc. If so why would someone put one with a mantis? Cool video tho.

I'd guess it's a wash!The poison should kill the Mantis.

ya but it looks like the mantis knew what he was doing by staying away from the business end of the blue ring.

Notice the mantis hit the octopus, he punctures him until the poison is out.

That was crazy.

Im not sure i ever saw the mantis get hit.....he WAS amazingly staying away from the "business" end of things.

The mantis wins.
A large mantis against a baby blue ring? With respect, this is the kind of science I can do without.

Seems cruel to me. I was hoping it was a draw.

That's a full size blue ring. It's hard to believe that something that small can kill a person isn't it.
Some octopus researchers at Berkely were trying to figure out how some species of mantis are able to survive the toxins that blue rings contain.

Those long-haired hippy freaks at Berkeley! 
Where are the controls for this experiment? Wouldn't it be better injecting the venom into the mantis than watching an animal stuggle for its life, and ultimately lose that struggle?
I just have a really hard time watching stuff like that.
