A woman doesn’t realize she’s almost dead when she bravely holds up one of the most poisonous sea animals in the world to make a memorable photo while on holiday in Bali. The woman, Kaylin Phillips from North Carolina, spotted a brown octopus with bright blue circles while strolling on the beach.
Excited by the discovery, she shared a video on Tiktok where she held the octopus and placed it in the palm of her hand, and took the video.
However, what she did not know was that the small sea creature was a blue-ringed octopus, which is able to kill humans within 26 minutes. It is the most venomous marine animal in the world.
After posing with the creature, Kaylin did an online search and was shocked to learn the octopus was capable of killing up to 26 humans with its venom. The venom of the blue-ringed octopus is capable of attacking the nervous system causing blindness, nausea, respiratory system damage, paralysis, and can cause death.
Sharing a video on TikTok, she wrote: “Going to Bali and unknowingly holding one of the most dangerous animals.”
She also inserted information about the animal.
At the end of the video clip, Kaylin shows her face and adds: “Cheers for still being alive.”
