This is the moment an octopus held onto a man's hand during his swim off the coast of Alicante, Spain, on June 6.

"After a fishing afternoon, I jumped into the water to get rid of the stinky fishy smell.

I was swimming in a particular area that has plenty of octopuses and saw this little octopus.

Far from being scared, he came stuck onto my hand.

After several minutes he finally released me and got away.

I guess he was interested in my fishy smell," the filmer, David Moreno told Newsflare.
