Check out this awesome YouTube clip of a friendly Octopus that decided to leave his watery home at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve to traverse across the land and give a lucky bunch of people a dead crab. Sure, he looks a little drunk and maybe they didn't want a dead crab, but can't have been easy for the little dude and it's the thought that counts.
