Octopus Escape Room Challenge

- The octopus: Nature’s craftiest escape artist. Is this just another preconception? Is it fact or
is it fiction?
We needed to design an experiment and test exactly how much skill a smart octopus would
display in order to escape from a confined environment.
So we sat down and devised the first ever escape room for an octopus. After all, escape
rooms are great fun! If they are stimulating and entertaining for us, wouldn’t they be
equally beneficial for an octopus?
As always, our main concern was to ensure that the experiment is 100% safe for the
octopus. Moreover, we would not allow the octopus to stay in the escape room for more than
a few minutes each round in order to eliminate the possibility of him getting stressed.
We chose Rudy for this experiment due to his playful character and average size. He is big
enough to be streetwise, and small enough to have plenty of space to move around in the
escape room.
We divided the escape room challenge in four rounds, according to their level of difficulty.
Round 1 was easy, Round 2 was moderate, Round 3 was difficult, and Round 4 was
extremely difficult.
We enjoyed planning the escape routes enormously and we would like to revisit this
experiment in the future so don’t forget to share your ideas with us in the comments. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини

Yeah, feels bad, but its made better by this video
ugh same. it's my last day of high school and if you think i'd spend it being productive for the first time, you're dead wrong.
How an octopus could trap humans?
Put them in a room with a door that has eight door knobs.
no good! better make it six so you can hold the human and open the door
You say humans. That means atleast two, I remember as a child I was able to use my feet to open a door. If there are two humans and at least a few days before starvation that means they can use all four limbs and if needed their mouths. It's rather easy
Robert Wheeler Yep!
You sort got me there. I had spotted that flaw but was too lazy to fix it and I would have to think that any octopus smart enough to build such a trap and also capable of luring a human (see what I did there) into it, would also be smarter than me and realise that it’s either one human at a time or more knobs.
Humans could also kick down a door

"Hooman" makes me cringe so hard, sorry.
They say homo sapiens.
You know this is great and all but in 1000 years, when the Octopuses are the ones designing the cages, none of this will be amusing.
When we humans cry unfair treatment, they’ll show us these videos.
You do know octopi enjoy brain stimulation right. This is fun for them.
😆
@@dylankersten3383 that what they will be writing with their tentacles, you know humans enjoy brain stimulation
It will be amusing to the octopuses.
It's acting like in a video game : Ok, the exit is this way, but let's check every corner so i don't miss anything before...

At my old college campus in one of the science labs they had an octopus and lots of tanks of fish... a friend of mine who had marine biology classes told me that the octopus would escape the tank, go over to the fish tanks and open them up, eat some fish, and then go back to it's tank and close the lid. they thought students were stealing fish so they ran a security camera and caught it in the act. LMAO
I saw a video of an aquarium that had sharks in it, and they kept disappearing and no one could find any dead bodies or figure out where they went. They set up a camera of the aquarium, and I guess they forgot that an octopus shared the same tank. It was a giant octopus, and they actually caught it hunting down and capturing a shark. The octopus ate the entire shark. Mystery solved.
I've heard of that happening, think I might have seen the video. Bloody amazing.
Radical
...
😂😂😂
I swear, every time I see an octopus do things like this, I become more and more convinced that theyre an alien species that became stuck here from a crash landing
Except they have similar dna to us. They certainly developed intelligence in a different way to us though, which is awesome.
It just shows how easy any other species could become as intelligent or even more than us. We are not that special. If octopuses could live longer like we did, they would be a force to be reckoned with.
@September Pupper what lol
They might be pretty sure we are the aliens dropped here.
No! Humans are the aliens. We came from Mars and those who knew made us believe we originated here and evolved. But in reality we came here after our own planet died. Octopi are the real kings of this planet back when it was almost completely water. It was as big as Krakens in the stories but we claimed this planet our own and made ourselves believe that we are the only sentient beings.
We are the aliens on this planet.
It’s almost like he knows he’s being challenged and he enjoys it. This is so amazing.
octopuses do actually like to play, so maybe this is just fun learning or something, i dont know
@@perkuu6937 I did a whole lot of research because of this Channel. I have always loved octopuses. And spiders… I guess it’s an eight leg thing. LOL anyway I digress, in my research I found some of the most amazing things about the octopus. Their intelligence has recently been equivocated to that of an ape. Before this discovery science and researchers only thought that mammals could have the type of intelligence and emotion that octopus show. It is so incredible. And I hate the channels and unsubscribed to the channels where they walk along the shore and throw 30 octopus into a bucket and take them home and boil them. Ugh! To think that they know in their own way what is going on is absolutely horrid to me.
Octopi are definitely more sentient than we understand
So I wouldn’t be surprised of what it is actually aware of and if it is enjoying it
They are creatures that engage in solitary play, just like.... Literally no other species on earth.
"Rudy, why does it take so long"?
"I was struggling".
"Struggle for what"?
"I can't let human know it is too easy, it will hurt their feeling. They spent days building these rooms, I must let them enjoy it for couple minutes".
wow just... wow

Looking at Rudy's eyes, I can tell he is smarter than some of my co-workers
@I gRape Babies ok "I grape babies" 😂😂😂 your probably her co worker
@@AdrianTheG no no, hes got a point
Looks like grapes don't like you at all since his 2nd comment was deleted.
I gRape Babies maybe you can stop assuming things. You don’t know the full story
Also he is smarter than u
Rudy was definitely a bit concerned about the light challenge. You can tell he backs away because he's unsure what the light is, but knows the button did something. So he tries the button again. Again, things change immediately, but this time he moves away slower, taking more time to observe, and the third time can tell that he's just opening a door and the light is a distraction. That's how it looked to me, at least.
To me it looked like he randomly bumped the switch while one of his tentacles was touching the moving door.
Wow nice play by play. 😂
The third time he definitely knew what he was doing.
I came looking for this comment. You can really see the octopus actually thinking and learning. First time he assessed the risk, second time he observed, third time he executed.
i dont think he ran away because od thw light change in general, i think because it was green. if you watch the reaction to color video, orange and purple really got them, but they ran from green. as he realized it was just a color change here after the 2 tries, he was still sketchy but saw it wasnt a threat
I love how the “easy” challenge for an octopus would be almost impossible for most other aquatic or land based life.
purple E
as someone who took care of octopuses I know for a fact that guy is having the time of his life. my octopus would get excited whenever they saw me get there toys and challenges ready
Wait do u work at a place or own a octopus?
@@reddrumdrum Worked at an aquarium after i graduated with a degree in marine science. raised them up since they where small so i consider them my babies
That's actually very cool. But how can you tell if your octopus is excited or stressed? What exactly changes in its behavior that you can tell he is feeling this emotions?
@@marcosilva9644 its not as tough as you would imagine, stressed octopus act very shy, frustrated, and would usually hide and curl up and try to camo. excited octopus would explore more, stretch out there tentacles to feel around there environment, and just generally move around more. when my octopus wanted to play they would go up to the top of the tank and spit out water at me like a water gun. i would come over and place my hand over the tank and they would climb around my fingers and such. when they got stressed out they would move all the live rock to form a fortress around them and when u try moving it they would wait and move it back. (they would do the same thing when they get upset at me but there behavior would be more rapid like showing me there moving the rocks by slaming them around and causing a small tantrum. whats important to note is to not really compare much to what humans do. i guess studying them for so long u can get a feel for them. i guess to others being stressed can be confused for shy or being excited can be confused with angression. Octopus are smart but there solitary puzzle solving creatures. a challenge would make them feel more at home then a larger tank with food just giving to them. they do get bored.
@@MrFotizzile that's cool
I imagine it when put on the cage again like: ah shit, here we go again
ditto
Rudy is tired of the humans shenanigans
You wrote it first. Have a like
True but octopuses in captivity need challenges like this or they get really bored
@@_elaineee_ yeah, then they escape and mess around with the humans for the fun of it.
My mom was a biology teacher, and we had an octopus for awhile in her high school classroom. Occasionally we'd come into the classroom in the morning only to find the octopus on the floor in the middle of the room. He was such a little escape artist. Fascinating, beautiful creatures. Thank you.
WAIT WHAT!??!?!? THAT SOUNDS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@thecreature916 He was amazing. He would swim from one side of the tank and get on a rock and change colors, then he swim to the other side of the tank and get on another rock and change colors. He was almost affectionate… He wanted to touch you, and wanted to interact through the glass. He was beautiful. We lost him after hurricane Alicia in Houston when the power went out and the tank failed. But it is an experience I will never forget.
@@KatAdair aww thats sad :(
They can identify people by they faces, I cant believe that since they never encounter people in the wild. Consider how smart they have to be for that its not even in their interest to look at people
Hi Kat. Yes!!!! My marine biology teacher in highschool kept his pet octopus in a huge tank in our room. There were many times he escaped during the night and found by my teacher in the silliest places. I'll never forget it. Soooooo sweet
I love how the first time he pressed the button he seemed a little startled, then the second time he seemed to wait and see what it did and by the third time he was completely ready to go through the gate as soon as it opened.
Day 7 of quarantine: okay let's watch octopus trying to escape
Neil zion lol
maybe we're all still in quarantine because we haven't discovered the secret escape tube/bridge?
Sounds about right. Lol

It’s really interesting how they always stand back and analyze the situation before acting. Very intelligent creatures
Octopus after clearing the levels: I have proven our species are intelligent, now I demand freedom.
What freaks me out is that in the last challenge, he didn't just hit the button by accident or anything. He hit the button, observed what happened a few times, then hit the button and strolled out. Meanwhile, the entire human race struggles with the concept of push/pull doors.
In a few years instead of planet of the apes it’s gonna be planet of the octopi.
Yeah but at least nobody has to stand there and watch people walk through doors a few times to figure it out
@@minkcell7509 Random Octopi event!!!
he didn't even hit the button apart from the first time... they opened the door whenever a tentacle touched the button even slightly, not shitting on the octopus or anything else but it clearly wasn't consciously pushing the button knowing it opened the door whatsoever.
I don’t think the whole human race struggle with a push/pull door
I don’t know why, but watching an octopus walking across a bridge towards the camera with his eyes peeking out of the water just made my day. 😂🥰🐙
That clip looked like it could be from godzilla
JRockVR 😂😂😂😂
He looks so cutee
@I gRape Babies troll detected
I loved that part too !
I get a strong impression that, in #2 and #3, he was looking for alternate routes, and in #4 he was alarmed by the lighting change at first, but once he realized there was no immediate danger associated, he went on to study the challenge further. So cool and relatable!
Commenting a year later but I agree he was looking for less stressful ways out it seems
@@Level13Gaming maybe one where the researchers couldn't follow lol
I'd love to see the behind the scenes footage of just how you get an octopus to go into the cage in the first place
THe octopus probably enters by himself like an escape room in a mall
I'd like to see how Rudy does a week later with the same challenges to see how well he remembers. Love the channel by the way
Ooh, that's a good idea
Excellent suggestion. I'd love to see what their capacity for long term memory is.
Wow 126 likes on my comment. That's amazing thanks everyone who liked it
That would be interesting since I recall hearing that octopuses tend to have relatively poor long term memories
That seems like the logical next step. Hell its only been 4 days hopefully this dude takes the cue
I'm particularly impressed by how Rudy deals with the 4th challenge. The 1st time he hits the button, he's clearly encountering a new phenomenon (he'd had no experience with it before). The 2nd time, he's testing how it works (how long does the door stay open). The 3rd time, he *goes* for it! Even with higher-level deductive abilities, that's *really* few iterations to make a successful escape! Go Rudy!
Wondering if the recording of the last test was spliced up to show only a few of his attempts for brevity’s sake, but if it really did only take him 3 attempts, that’s exceptional for sure! And even if it did take him more attempts than shown it’s still pretty impressive
Jimmy Akin eh, I mean... I kinda agree with you, but mostly I just think that 1 minute in he pushed a button. 1-2 minutes later he pushed a button. When he reaches 6 minutes in he pushes the button, sees the open door, and goes.
This octopus is smarter than almost every living things ... human included ☺️
I think he dealt with the push button before but the door was on the right side of the cage last time. He both times hit the button and bolted for the right side looking for the door.. On the 3rd attempt he seen the trap door had been moved.
Jérôme cap
Pretty sure he figured out every puzzle within 20 seconds and then just thought about how to approach these puzzles in the safest way possible.
He protecc, he attacc, but most importantly he get the snacc
And is smort

@@nathangregorymeyer4025 what then?
Every little corner lol I know how you feel
@@nathangregorymeyer4025 rounds? Steps?
If you give him the same challenges a few days later, does he remember the solution and do them faster?
That's what I wonder as well.
I think he would but there is only one way to be sure.
I think they do indeed remember, at least thats what's been shown. They can also share their knowledge with other octopuses.
Doesnt it seem a little weird he didnt see the hole/tube very fast? Do you think he actually saw it and just wanted to swim around?
@@widowmaker4097 yes, they tend to take a moment for a step back to analyze the situation.
@@widowmaker4097 he was searching for hidden loot before taking the obvious way out
That octopus was like “Oh shit the green lights on..now where the hell is that damn trap door?!”
You can literally see how proud the fella was when he escaped the last one.
Hah. I got out fecker whachu gon' do now? huh
Ya his eye got real big like hell ya
Metaphorical anthromorphism, but it cleared my Scrabble tray.
How do you know, are you an octopus, why are you betraying us pretending to be homan
I think anyone who tries to claim this is "abuse" just doesn't understand that this is enrichment for them. For dogs and cats, enrichment is laser pointer or toss a ball or mouse. For birds, perches and toys with things for them to climb, ring bells, work their beaks on, etc. For octopuses, you can't do any of that so give them puzzles to solve and exercise their brains.
Yeah. And, if you ask em there is other content on here which IS abuse. Like, I saw a video of a women eating octopus live. She didn't kill them before hand, either.
@@alonelybatinisolation2746 there was another video where she put a live octopus on a grill and brushed on some marinade or sauce, you can see the poor thing trying to escape
@@ch0nkybirbbean63 Thats fucking sad. I don't understand how somebody elses video got taken down for animal abuse when they killed a cockroach but this is fine.
An escape game is not a puzzle.
Octopus are very intelligent so they most likely enjoyed this
The fact that it knows to escape already shows how smart it is..knows it's contained..analyzes..stays calm and solves the puzzles
I get so excited seeing octopuses using their intelligence and solving little puzzles. Everytime I see them complete one I just get so happy, they're so smart!!
You can tell when the situation is figured out but the octopus tries to see if the difficult way is the only way before attempted! He/she is weighing the options :o never knew they were so brilliant!
That absolutely floors me. The bridge one would have been over fastest out of all of them if he hadn't been like, "Ugh, I really don't want to go out there. I'm gonna look for a different way."
@@JennyTroutstanding yeah lol, i felt his laziness on a psychological level
@@thisisiampie6946 not laziness but he would be risking his life if he was in the wild. He could be attacked by predators
@@horusdark4343 but thats not a concern for him because he was born captive. He was just looking for any other way than going out of water
@@thisisiampie6946 that doesn't mean he still would protect himself from predators. Its still in his mind
This reminds me of the time this zoo noticed fish constantly missing so wen they installed security cameras they found the octopus was getting out of his tank, strolling over to the fish, eating one, then going back to his tank! 🤯🐙🐟
Try thinking of tht situation in the fishes' POV😱😭
@Hyeonju Lee “SCATTER!”
Seen that same video, they're very intelligent
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sneak 100
Aside from being amazing escape artist, I love it how octopus is totally deliberate at what it is doing - it always seems to first investigate a little, then measure pros and cons before coming up with a strategy and going for it. They are so cute and fascinating, I shall not eat them in a salad anymore.
This octopus is probably having tons more fun than the viewers of this vid
I hope Rudy got some nice treats after doing so well!
Hmmmm. What is a treat to an octopus? A little shrimp?
Zero Hedge Not being pickled?
debbie otava - He deserves a dinner at Red Lobster, lol
@@DaffneyDalilah well, their cheddar biscuits ARE pretty spectacular. 😆😆😆
I thought the same thing! Where's his crab treat?
I got nervous for his tentacles on that last one, I was afraid they would get stuck in that door when it opened or closed. What a great boy Rudy is
I thought exactly the same lol
I think the person filming controlled the door because i dont think the button was actually connected to the door, cause it seemed like they waited for Rudy to get out before shutting it and it would just be way more convenient to have it manually operated
I was also thing that exact same thing
You can see the wire he is using if you look close enough, he pulls it up manually.
I hope he's rewarded with his favorite snack after all this hard work
What a clever octo! Well done Rudy! Loved that he was challenged and seemed very engaged in the escapes! He seemed happy to participate, has to be a little dull to not be exploring the wild ocean floor, I also appreciate that you limit your time with them and release back to the wild, as their time is well, limited tho I love discovering how intelligent these creatures are!
Animal activist: this is abuse
Octopus: challenge accepted
another thing is if octopi aren't given stimuli they'll literally die of boredom
I did not know octupus can die of boredom😶

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@dontaskme9047 I will not.
I love the reaction it had when the lighting changed. Like, he saw the door but he seemed more interested in knowing what was making the color change! With perhaps a bit of surprise at the fact.
I adored watching him cross the bridge, seeing his little head and eyes poke up above the water and come towards the camera ❤️❤️❤️
He did surprisingly well on the timed button light door challenge, considering all of those elements would not be found in nature, unlike the other challenges.
I was worried when I saw how fast the door closes. Perhaps he didn't want to go through on attempt #2 because he wasn't sure about the timing. Then he took 2 minutes to think, pep himself up and perhaps recheck for other exits, then went straight for the door.
Yes they are smart. They are well known to solve puzzles. Rudy probably connected the dots with how long did the light stay on while the gate door opened. He did a good job in solving this one. 🐙
Rudy might not have felt stressed, but I sure did watching him lol
@Smileyrie James the gate was manually controlled, so it wouldn't have closed on him don't worry :)
I swear the octopus is counting in its head to see if he can make it before the real run! Incredible man.
This was cool but I think Rudy breezed through these tests with no problem. He needs much tougher challenges with multiple components to assemble/analyze/ solve to put his true escape art to the test. Here is my request - Come up with a multi stage escape room with multiple puzzles that have to be solved to be reach tasty treats. Here is what I suggest
Block the view of the puzzles so Octopus can't see the course while it's being assembled.
Puzzle 1 - In the tank place a plastic divider that opens outward but "lock" a door with a latching mechanism ( hook and eye latch - like on a screen door) that has to be moved or taken out to open the door - also secure the door loosely with a rubber band stretched from a protruding peg on door to a peg not on the door (so the octopus has to take rubber band off to open door).
Puzzle 2 - After Octopus gets through the door have it lead it to a double branching out tube (like a Y) one should lead to a small shiny object or toy, the other should be capped but have multiple holes of all sizes except that only one will be large enough to squeeze through (think of like swiss cheese except on the surface of a tube. The one hole that is large enough to get through should have a passageway that leads to Puzzle 3 - 2 small boxes & 1 larger box. 1 box with a fake plastic but realistic looking treat, one with a live treat that looks the 1st, 3rd box should bound in two ways but contain the favorite or more of the favorite treats for the octopus to eat. I suggest the bigger box have a simple, loosely tied knot that has to be untied on the outside of the box, 2nd fastening method should be a movable piece that has to be slid out of two arches that keep the box from opening - please : ).
"Oh this was supposed to be difficult?...I was just exploring around."-Octopus.
"This isn't even my final form!"
I think he was being more cautious than taking time to figure it out, especially in the first 3. He seemed to be doing the look - retreat - look again - act (with repeats when necessary). He's a smart little cookie!
Octopus are basically aliens that we’ve grown accustomed to.
you can tell he is stepping back to observe the challenge. Amazing
Ok....did I just see your Octopus peak his eye out of the water and assess the bridge. Then go back to the other side of the tank, and pop his eye out again to look at it from a different perspective - to see farther down the bridge? Wow. Smarty. Then, I’m sure he didn’t do a little dance when he got out of challenge #4 but it kinda looked as if he did...
Dishiest these creatures are like the smartest animals in the world besides humans and dolphins
@@ghostgamingxd7881 also birds,dogs cats and other animals. Did you see the cat that saved his boy the little boy was getting attacked by a dog and the cat runs and body slams the dog the cat Tara saved the boy. All animals are smart.
Jenny Àldrich much smarter than a lot of people give them credit for that’s for sure lol
Jenny Àldrich yes I did
GHOST GAMING XD I am always mystified by them 🥰😍😍😍
I like the part where he escaped and then put up a poster of Raquel Welch over the hole to fool the warden.
Ha! I lol'd!! 😆
And then he had to crawl through a sewer and take over the world
😂😂😂😂😂
Silly zebra. The poster was there before the hole was dug.
In the last challenge , he actually seemed more interested in the changing of the light's color than the opening of the door...and retreated to the corner to determine if that change was threat of some kind - perhaps. After a while , he was bored of the changing light and headed out the door. This was REEEEALLY cool to watch - thanks for sharing this !!
Lmaooo that one fish at the end like “flexxx I can go through the bars”
For the 2nd and 3rd challenge it seemed to be more of a question of "do I want to do this?" Meanwhile for the 4th challenge he was initially bothered by the lighting change, he analyzed what happens for the second push, and he knew exactly what to do on his final attempt.
Hi Octolab TV. Can you repeat Rudy's escape challenge same condition few days later so we can compare times and see if memory is present. Great test!
Seconded
Thirded! 😁😁🐙
Fourthed!

Sixed!
I am so emotionally attached to this dam octopus
His strategy seems to be checking if the old way out is there, looking for what changed since the last time, going back to just make sure he didn’t miss the old way out, and then interacting with the new change. Reminds me of when they change traffic patterns and people get confused, this octopus took minutes to figure it out, takes me 3 tickets.

Question: Can Rudy see your cameras? Has he figured out that some of the cameras are aligned with the exits?
Octopus: "I can't believe I signed up for this BS"
Lol like every single time the octopus has a freak out session for like 1-2 mins like aaaarrrrggghhhh!! and then he's like, oh that was so easy, lol.
Also it's hard to make out exactly what he is looking at, at a time whether he is looking up his big nose like brain, to the sides or down his appendages.
Also I like the mission impossible like music as the challenges get harder. Sets the mood and the 'lighting'!
Also pretty sure there is some room for some very exciting sports commentary here.
In the last time the change in the lighting freaked him out, the second time he was just observing, the third time, easy!
Octopuses are incredible animals. Here's a story I heard a while ago:
A research group wanted to study some octopuses, so they laid four traps and baited them with fish. The traps were designed so that they were easy to enter, but nearly impossible to exit. When they came back later to check the traps, three were empty. The fourth had an octopus and the fish from all the other traps.
Wow, that octopus is smart
Sad he didn’t make the fourth one
Yea they aint gonna harm him tho and we would not kno the cool story of him gettin out of 3 other traps. At least they were smart enuf to use different types of traps. I like learning new thing bout em
He sort off did... The goal of the octopus was to eat all the fish, not to not get trapped. If he got all the fish in 1 tank, with him inside that tank... he could eat them all.
Thank you for saying octopuses

Cephalopods are so smart. I live watching them do things like solve puzzles or change colors/shape to suit their needs. It's one of the reasons I have decided I will never eat them.
I've recently become fascinated by these creatures. They are amazing! Such intelligent creatures yet so alien to us.
I believe you entirely when you say he wasn’t stressed, if anything he looked curious but I’m so fascinated by cephalopods that I’d love to know how you can tell when they’re stressed or not. What behaviours do they display differently?
They will change color (dark orange or red), puff up, stand tall on the legs. And swim very fast (whoosh!) I learned all this from their previous uploaded videos.
I don't know if it applies to every kind of stress, but when feeling threatened octopuses will often change colour (specially around their eyes and mouth to make them look bigger and more threatening) and release ink
Aisling Moon and try to be talll boyeee
I imagine by now this little guy probably understands/trusts to some level that he's not being put in dangerous situations. Someone's just putting him in another box with some bullcrap he has to deal with for a few minutes. Who knows? It could be really good for them to be kept mentally active with unusual stimuli, like how dolphins, people, many types of birds, etc. get depressed when things are the same all the time because our brains are so developed.
Jamielol yes! Octopuses in captivity need challenges like these or they will quickly get very bored in their tanks
This was TOTALLY awesome! What a smart little one!

Lmao of course I find AntsCanada in the comments of an octopus escaping a maze 😂, just wanted to say I love your videos man!
You can almost see the gears turning as he worked things out. It was amazing! Keeps him from getting bored too.
rewatching the 4th puzzle ive realised that the octopus notices the gate open and keeps looking at it. Then after that he pressed the button with no hesitation and went straight to the gate... so smart!!
What an amazing octopus he is and so focused on his goals. My favorite part is level 3- the bridge Challenge! Rudy the true master of escape, the Steve McQueen of Octopuses!
Rudy is an amazing creature, and so beautiful and graceful too,,,,, what a lovely animal, spectacular. And I must say, much brighter than I am. As I am a human. And that doesn’t really say much does it!!!!!!
Is wish it was a more relaxed oceanic song playing in the background - the current song did my head in
He was just playing with you.! Didn't want you to know just how intelligent he really is.😍
Level 5: Octopus escapes debt!
We as humans may learn something
Me: "Ha! I would have escaped in 30 seconds!"
Also me, in literally any video game puzzle:
"Let me spend 30 minutes checking every feature of this room to make sure I'm not missing anything."
And end up opening one of the forbidden chests and miss out on the ultimate weapon anyway because the prerequisite is to have those chests unopened at that point in the game (FFXII)
"Sure I couldd leave, but what if there's a secret in THIS cage? Better do a pattern search of each cage with my tentacles before actually leaving"
@@ambrosewong139 you too huh? That was an awful moment in house...poor hubby.
Rudy wouldn't rage quit on us in co-op Portal 2, cause he gets it. Great dude.
@@ambrosewong139 i hated that, i think in the remake they changed it tho
I wonder what was going on in his head during these
"Humans and their stupid little challenges. I can do this faster, but let's entertain them a little."
Must enslaved humans
my cage is littered with weirdness
🐙 Yawwwn. Enough of your bull****, humans. I do exactly what you want and for what: one lousy snack! First chance I get Im gonna show these humans how it feels to live in this circus 😡
Sigh here we go again🙄
Those eyes rising up out of the water-cutest looking nightmare fuel I've ever seen.
Nothing proves octopus sentience more than their immediate desire to press a big red button
Level 5 (Gladiator): The Octopus must defeat the Mantis Shrimp in its enclosure.
Wat the wat?
J Bac My money is on the Mantis Shrimp!
@@samiam619 Mantis all day!
An average octopus would eviscerate a mantis shrimp. They're too smart and way, way, way, larger. Now a mantis shrimp's punch is the strongest on earth pound for pound. The prob is the octopus would be impenetrable and then strangle or decide numerous ways fo quickly pummel to mantis shrimp to an immediate death.
@@liamg2271 you can see a video on youtube of a mantis shrimp bodying an octopus lol
I was just telling my boyfriend how smart Rudy is-he found the hidden opening, the tube, the bridge AND he opened the door and my boyfriend goes "yeah they are not good at math though."
WTF LOL
I think it's time to find someone else if he's saying that.
i mean... they prob arent
sounds like the octopus found the solutions faster than him
From the sound of it, neither is he.
Seems like it knows but has anxiety like "these people don't know I've got small spaces and heights issues" ;) lol this is cool
It's scary how intelligent Octopus are.
Me: **confused as to why this video is in my recommended, but clicks on it anyway** Also me: thoroughly entertained for 10 minutes and 6 seconds
Man that second challenge, for a second there when he was flailing in frustration of being trapped he really was Upsetti Spaghetti.
Actually he was exploring options and measuring satey risk of taking a routw je had not seen before. He would have gone a dark red/light black had he een frustrated. Movements like that are very common amung the octopus.
Rudy might not have been stressed but I was. When the light turned that sick green colour my heart rate sky rocketed....
Goooooo Rudyyyyyy
I knew they were pretty intelligent....but I had no idea just HOW intelligent they were !!! Thanks for posting this great vid, folks.
i love how his eyes expand after escaping, its so cute 😍
Interesting to observe the way he searched each cage in a grid pattern, feeling out its dimensions and irregularities.
I love the tentacle raise, fist held high in celebration that announces little Rudy's victory as he is escaping that final level of his escape room exercise. Him sayin' "Yesssss!! TRIUMPH!!! Now where's my fishy snack, hoo-MON?! Nomnomnom!"
But please...you guys could've, at least, given poor little Rudy eight TINY MUGS he could've used to bang up against all those barred constraints in his minutes of downtime, between light bulbs of his intuitive nature (get it?! Lol) igniting, all the stars aligning, allowin' little Rudy to finally make each of his individual, then final escape before his going on to then win the big game and makin' everybody who ever sees, or hears, his story to cry their eyes out and eventually taking the life he was given into his own tentacled eight-armed, handless hands, choosing selflessly to help Mr Frodo enter Modor finding and climbing fiery Mount Doom, helping to battle and stop giant spiders and Gollum's/Smiegle's attempt meant to thwart their efforts, of returning, and, destroying the ONE RING, where, they"d toss the horrendously evil thing back in to the volcanic fires, lavas, and magma, whirlwinding in one main epicenter that where in which IT had been forged, AND thereby, by and large, Samwise Gamgee aka 'Rudy' the octopus, had helped save all of Middle Earth, our entire World and Universe, as we know, and mayhap may ever knows it as it exists or, perhaps, as it ever will exist... Thank you, little Rudy! _Gollum! Gollum!_ LmMFaO!!! ;) :P :o)
Very clever.
Let's remember octopuses are very intelligent and they won't do ANYTHING that may put there lives at risk, this is why it was hesitant to do any of these courses, not because he didn't know what he was doing.
Me [at 3am]: Man, I really need to get some sleep.
UA-cam: Wanna see an octopus escape room?
Me: OK well now I'm curious.
Lmao its 3:19 a.m for as I watch
Me: **awake at 2:30 am** I need to sleep I have classes tomorrow
UA-cam: Wanna see an octopus go through escape rooms?
Me: Lol yeah
I feel called out and I Don't like it
@@aBADAasras I have online lessons
@@aBADAasras not lessons like zoom meetings
No you dont
Rudy is an amazing and intelligent creature. I hope he lives the longest and happiest life an octopus can
I feel like he’s giving the camera the “side eye” this entire time.
