Family Rescues Stranded Octopus, The Next Day He Returns To Thank Them

October 13, 2017

A family was on a vacation at the Red Sea in Soma Bay and did a very good deed. While they were walking along the beach they noticed a stranded octopus in the sand on its death bed, without a way to get back into the ocean, he was slowly drying out and dehydrating.

Acting quickly, this family stepped in and saved his life by pushing him back into the water. He needed some time to recover and then he swam away.

"The next day we went to the same beach for a walk," their YouTube caption reads. "While walking along the beach we saw a shadow in the water coming very quickly to us. It was our octopus we rescued yesterday! He recognized us!"

He accompanied them for a long time while they were walked along the beach and continuously tried to touch their feet.

"We are sure that this octopus came back to thank us for saving his life. It's amazing how intelligent animals are."
