A video of an octopus is going viral on social media. Buitengebieden shared the video on Twitter with caption, "Playful tiny octopus. Watch until the end."

The video starts with the diver showing the octopus on his hand, and it dives towards it. After this, the octopus repeatedly lashes out at the diver's hand with its head. After some time, it realises that this "wall" is insurmountable and starts to exit. In order to entice it closer, the diver gently pulls on one of its tentacles.

As the diver continues to play with the octopus, the octopus can be seen quietly relaxing on his fist.

As of this writing, 19.0 lakh people have seen the video and 1.31 lank have liked it on Twitter. To far, the post has received more than 18,000 retweets.
