@@mo-s-it is actually octopuses since it comes from greek meaning “eight footed” rather than latin. If we are being really ☝️🤓 then it should be “octopodes” (The longer answer is that people believed the plural should be octopi because we took the word octopus from latin however latin took it from the greek oktopus and so it makes more sense to honour the word’s original grammar rules rather than the middle man’s grammar rules. This is why many people mistakenly correct octopuses to octopi.)
Unbelievable...disorienting. Like a master magician... a master of disguises... The music, narration, photography are great... Who would ever suspect the vastly complicated world hidden behind the few little species most humans are aware of...
That also means that since they are solitary creatures, everything they do, they taught themselves within their lifetimes. It would be amazing to see what they could do with longer lifespans and a means to pass along knowledge.
😮 I've never seen an octopus behave in a way that shows how it thinks the robot octopus should defend itself and showing it how to camouflage then flipping out when the robot doesn't comply then flipping out even more after predators pass by the robot then ultimately cooping itself up to reflect what the hell went wrong in its world.. 😮😮😮
It’s impressive how it’s able to observe and respond to complex shapes/movement/color!! It actually “knows” how to change its body to different colors. If we could have a conversation with it, it could feasibly make any pattern we asked it to! Insane.
There's a video of some scientists doing some experiments on cuttlefish somewhere on UA-cam, and they showed him a black-and-white checkered pattern, and he couldn't figure out how to mimic it, so he just stared for a while and then did a single black square in the middle of his forehead. 😂
Wonderful video! I just discovered you, and subscribed. When i learned how utterly amazing and intelligent octopuses are, i stopped eating them, though i’d eaten octopus only twice before. We have so much to learn from these talented creatures.
Octopus is derived from Greek so plural is Octopuses! I just learned that in a cool book about a naturalist learning about the intelligent critters at the Boston Aquarium.
These documentaries are magical! I absolutely love how alien and intelligent Octopi are. I've always wondered, who films the robot octopus? Is there a diver swimming nearby as I figure that would spook the creatures, or is it a camera on a rope tether?
Brilliant just brilliant..... For those of you who haven't seen it 'My Octopus Teacher' is one of the best documentaries i have ever seen....think its still on Netflix...it is mesmerising
I wonder if we will ever be able to know what an octopus is thinking. Presumably it knows it is mimicking things. Is it by compulsion? Curiosity? For the fun of it?
octopus are the most insane animals especially because they are the closest things on this planet to aliens, the fact they can change their texture to mimic their surroundings is just mind boggling
oh, i see 🙄 when they shapeshift into sand and fish and robot cameras it's 'impressive' and 'intelligent', but when they shapeshift into a delicious seafood dish thats where you draw the line? 🤨 /j
Octopuses are amazing animals and very intelligent too! They are as smart as whales and dolphins of the seas and dogs, cats, gorillas, elephants on land.

I can't explain it but octopuses seem to have so much personality, they're really intelligent creatures
They are, there was this one octopus that was annoyed by this electric light, so it spat water at it to shut it off, they can learn quickly

When the flatfish thought the octopus was one of his kind, it reminded me of Pepe Le Pew when the cat would always accidentally change into a skunk.
Lmao I could almost hear Pepe’s hopping music when that flatfish was chasing the octopus.
I was gonna comment the exact same thing!

That robot is like a skinwalker to the actual octopuses.

It keeps puzzling me how octopuses evolved to be so intelligent, versatile and strange - and still has a lifespan of only 3 years!
Our common ancestors with them are flatworms. They are a completly different reimaging of what an intelligent lifeform is.

It's an octopus, not a squid.
The Flatfish following the octopus 🐙 🙌 and then turning back like: "OH my bad"
The flatfish didn't even kill him after, just turned around and swam away in shame.
I wouldn’t say I’m fooled but I will say I’m impressed a gifted shapeshifter no other octopus can do this!
Cuttlefish can change shape and color too, but for either hypnosis, or males mimicking females to get close.
