The octopus and the pelican.

One evening we were called to a boat ramp where a lady had found a pelican with its head and beak caught under the ramp. The lady said the bird was still alive so Kay rushed to the ramp but unfortunately found the pelican had died. When Rhonda & Bill arrived they tried to pull the pelican out, but it wouldn't budge. It was getting dark by this stage, but a closer inspection revealed a huge, red octopus had hold of the bird's head and beak. It had lured the bird into its hole, and held it tight until it drowned. When Bill finally managed to pull the pelican out, the octopus crawled out and followed Bill and the bird up the boat ramp. Each tentacle was half a meter long. It was like a horror movie!
