Octopus VS Unsolvable Puzzle - Behavior Observation Experiment
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лис 2020
- We've all watched in awe as these intelligent invertebrates solved puzzle after puzzle. We're always surprised at how effortlessly they solve almost every challenge we put in from of them. But what if we set up a challenge that is impossible to solve? How will our octopus react to an unsolvable puzzle?
We took some crabs and sealed them in a plexiglass box. We made sure that Michael, our big powerful octopus, would not be able to open the plexiglass container no matter how much force he applied.
We ran this observational experiment for nearly an hour before we gave him his treat. The final 15 minutes were entirely uneventful. Our octopus ignored the box with the crabs after having failed to open it during the first 45 minutes. We wondered if he would also ignore the second box that contained his treat due to the fact that he was unable to open the box with the crabs. He didn't. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
It’s not nice to food troll the aliens.
Underrated comment.
we do a little trolling
You mean cousin of aliens meep
LOL that rush/sneak attack at 1:15.. followed by the frustrated color shift at 2:05 Such personality on display here.
And the curled tentacle tips of frustration/pondering/resignation 3:45 poor Occy
Ganz schlaue Tiere! Mit einer richtigen Persönlichkeit!♡
lol
I was expecting him to bang the box against the walls of the aquarium in anger.
Man, I kinda feel sorry for the crabs in this test.
Do you feel sorry for the steak on your plate??? LOL
@@MargueriteFairProductions usually cows arent put into air/water tight boxes that are then lifted up and tossed and turned around by a creature 10x bigger than they are
@@MargueriteFairProductions vegan spotted
@@MargueriteFairProductionsyes somewhat. it’s more grateful. so good.
This is friggin hilarious!! Since he/she couldn't figure out how to open it immediately, he/she instead measured their front door and then measured the box, hoping to hide the box for further examination.
It's incredible to see that the octo has only made bite marks around the lid where the box was obviously sealed, rather than the solid sides that came with the box from the factory! Unsettling and sublime place for him to focus his efforts...
Those crabs must have felt like a scuba diver in a shark cage under attack from a Megalodon! Traumatized!
This is one of those times where it would come in handy to be friends with the octopus that imitated a hammer.
I believe I heard him cursing ...
Me trying to get into an old CD wrapper.
LOL YES!! Or a child's new toy at christmas
🤣🤣🤣
@@Ldybugsrus-Nadine 🤣🤣🤣
Me trying to open a jam jar...
One more reason to always carry a knife.
Pretty much me with a pickle jar. Keep trying buddy.
He's soon cute and more intelligent than alot of people!
Another terrific octovideo starring Michael. I like when he took a mad rush at that box as if to say, "I'm going to do it this time!"
Looks like Michael is giving you the middle tentacle there near the end!
I thought exactly the same!
I know! 😂 He went all Hulk Hogan on it! I died.
Amazing that the octopus was so persistent and creative in it's efforts to open the box -- I actually feel sorry for the octopus -- but a valuable experiment none-the-less
How many octopi do you havein total, and when you showcase one for an experiment can you tell us their names on screen, please? Thanks.
Names are typical in the description.
I don’t like that its unsolvable for him to be honest. All puzzles should have a solution even if it’s incredibly difficult. But at least you gave him a shrimp at the end. 👍
I feel that way with laser pointers for cats. I think it's a cruel game when in the end they can't catch something. So I'm picking up what you're putting down. 😀✌
@@mookyo9602 how is it cruel?
@@magicdolphin3090 because they can't catch the dot. it's only a game for the human, it's more an act of teasing an animal than playing with them
U cant solve all things in live, Wild octupuses will also have such situations, we all have
@@joesaiditstrue that's right thank you. Cats are hunters and there is no win in that.
Octopus says, "Hey, where's that hammer you gave me a couple episodes ago?"
Actually, that might be an interesting test - a sealed container and some sort of tool he needs to open it - and see if he can figure it out.
Just what I was thinking!
That Octopus was like... can't get that one opened, and moves away like; "I'm gonna Order some Take-Out".
It’s interesting that their eyes never move in their sockets. They don’t look at things per se, they just stare at ..something..
They move, just not in their socket. That entire area that their eyes are set in moves. It gives the appearance that their "brows" are actually raising and lowering, lending a sort of humanistic expressions thing. You can't always see it, but you can particularly see it when directly behind or in front of them. Take a look at the video at this link...I believe you will get a hilarious perspective of what I mean! ua-cam.com/video/i3H3bJwz65I/v-deo.html
No tease octopus! Octopus want treat!
And man, were those crabs freaking out, too.
I didn't know if I should feel bad for the octopus not being able to get his dinner, or the crabs staring into the belly of the beast not sure if they were going to be dinner. Conflicted!
I want to know wether the octopus understand bouyancy and gravity and have an idea for an experiment:
Take a transparent cylinder, with a hole in the side of it. at the bottom of the cylinder there is floating balls that fit through the hole, on top of them there is a sinking plate, as wide as the inside diametre of the cylinder. On top of the plate is a treat. The octopus mus take the balls out to make the plate sink in order to get to the treat. another idea is to design an expreiment to see if th octopus can balance a scale with weights and/or floats.
I like it, but I'm guessing the octo would just climb instead of solving the puzzle in the intended way. haha
@@JD2jr. Yeah, true. Would have to have a octopus-safe lid on it. But on another note; I would also be curious on how high an octopus could climb :)
Ravens can put rocks into a tube to psh up the water level until the treat rises high enough to grab. Another channel trained a cuttlefish to wait so it got its favourite food rather than grab the first thing. That’s something most humans can’t do.
Crabs must be like: thank goodness the box doesn't open! 🥺
He wasn't going to ignore the second box since it was clearly open.
Those crabs are totally traumatized after that!
He just invented 1000 new ways of opening boxes, hilarious some of the things he tried.
Someone needs to send an octopus to space. See how they act without gravity.
Control Crabs: I'm so glad we're in the control group.
Experiment Crabs: The WHAT group?!
This octopus looks really big. I’m glad he got to get something anyway.
And here I was expecting him to dump it out of his tank in a fit of anger.
The second try was so cute. The stealth attack attempt.
You can see his visible frustration in his sudden color and texture changes when he tries to charge the box and is holding onto it trying to figure out what to do.
I feel sorry for him.
Seems kinda mean.
Wow. Incredible power. Michael seemed really ticked off though, determined, frustrated - he's going to get those crabs! Till he gives up. Amazing to watch.
Michael looked a little frustrated and desperate at one point. H'angry Michael !
I don't know if crabs can normally feel terror or not, but I bet those 3 did.
Hey random thought. we have seen that an Octopus can learn to open boxes from mimicking another Octopus. Can they learn from watching a person in the same way? Can they learn to use a tool? < lock and key maybe?
They can watch a video of a person pulling a pin/pool noodle to open a box, and learn to do it. They've already run that one!
So now we will see your frustration at being unable to outsmart the octopus .
He's going into his house to invent a laser to open the box and then turn it on his tormentors.
Since an Octopus's brain is in its arms, Do you think those 8 arms have 8 different personalities? Like, is one the leader? Might 1 be more scared? Hesitant? Curious? Impatient? Angry? Psychologically scarred from a previous bad experience?
However you look at things, though, those crabs are going to be suffering from PTSD!
2/3 of his neurons lie in his arms but they also has brains as well in their heads. However you're right that each leg essentially all think separately. I don't think each leg has emotional feelings independentally from on another, they all just feel the environment to help the octopus's decision making. I could be wrong tho
@@TheBestofJuan would be fascinating to try to see whether each arm had its own psychological history... but maybe the arms have no memory. What set me off was wondering what a 'brain' of a re-grown arm might do...
They might just be like the nervous system in the human body, all communicating in some point (if I’m not wrong that would be the actual brain) so the hole system functions together. In that case I don’t think they would have different personalities in they arms, but may be they have.
Or could one arm have an affair with the other arn?
When I watch them exploring something it is as if all eight Arms have a crowd round the subject and then the whole organism, all eight Arms plus central brain, goes away and goes into a huddle and has a bit of a conference for a few minutes and then comes back. now I know that's a bit anthropocentric but who knows
Shhhh. If you listen closely, you can hear the rare sound of crab laughter.
whats funny to me is the color of the octopus when demonstrating emotion of frustration. I find it fascinating that's its a red'ish or darker hue which is also the same color of anger despair or frustration represented in human culture.
Just discovered your channel. Love it and subscribed. Always happy to learn.
He snuck up on the box lol
Awww...you’re just gonna make him 😡 angry! Fun to watch, tho! 🙂
I really wonder if there were beak marks on that box from the octopus trying to crack it like the crabs inside lol.
Ppl sayin they feel bad for crabs is stupid, nothing different then feeding mice to a snake, plus crabs r straight up like dumb as shit
The frustration is palpable!
Octo-jazz played on 8 string guitars with congos and drums.
This just looks like two mma fighters starting the fight and then they go back to the corner to get some water or get some advice from coatch
2:02 the skin texture change here looks like the octopus equivalent of swearing XD
That's got to be a freaking experience for the crabs. I wonder if the octopus tried using its beak or radula to open it.
Octopus: *UNLEASH PURPLE SUPER CHARGE!*
This is the best thing I have seen in years! Is this channel still operated? Would be a shame if it wasn't 😳
Those poor crabs! They must have been terrified. He definitely got the hump about not being able to open it :D Though he was definitely happier about the last one. I'm glad you changed the contents though!
That's cruel
I kept wanting the octocutie to carry it up high and try throwing it down to smash it
Oh, poor crabs... I felt sorry for them. You shouldn't use a live prey...
Love these videos!
Wow. Determined to get that box opened.
love this little Cephalopoda!!!!!!
These creatures are amazing!
This is exactly how I feel inside myself when I am trying to figure out how to resolve an issue))
This is off subject but I just finished watching 🐙MY OCTOPUS TEACHER🐙 I couldn't hold my tears of awe and appreciation back..... My dearest octopi octopuses... Thank you for reminding me to take my time and enjoy what is around me..🐙💋💨💨 my tears are for your beauty..
At 1:44 proceding to ask "Human, are you high?"
He is too cute!!
Wow! Amazing!
The most terrified crabs ever...
Next time my chance you can put a camera in the box so we can see what it looks like from that view point?
Have you seen pirates of the Caribbean? I imagine it’s a bit like the kraken to the pirates…
He is like a fool , her color changes I love it , he so intelligent and amazing
Hmmm, that box was filling with crab crap.
Exquisite and fascinating 🎶
what a magnificent being! ... offered up mission impossible .... had captions come up you might not wish to hear ... 😂
Literally me trying to open a big pickle jar
How i can say awesome and octopus together?
*OCTOSOME* 🐙
1:17 step back, analyze...attack!
I love your vids on your octopus pet video
What's your music source for your videos?? I love it. 🥰
Do you have a link to the music - fab guitarist. AND I love your videos.
New to the channel, do you ever put octopi in the same scenarios they have already faced? Do they learn how to beat challenges long term, or once they solve a problem they forget everything they just did? I've seen experiments with mice where the first time they take a while to solve a problem, but the next day they do it in a fraction of the time.
You try put 20 crabs in a big box. Let’s see how he react
Its interesting that he doesn't quickly launch himself at the crabs beak first like he did in the video with the fake crab on the screen. He approaches it much slower and often even goes tentacles first.
Is that the first challenge that had no solution?
Octopus be like: THAT THING MUST BE ALIVE! ILL CRUSH IT TO DEATH!
Go Michael! 🐙
Did anyone notice if the puzzle is unsolvable how did they put the crabs in there?
Even humans can't solve it, why you gave it to octopus
Why did Octo TV stop uploading?
Why did you switch boxes. There was a shrimp or something in the second box. Was this box not as hard to open? So that he could be rewarded after trying so hard and failing with the crab box?
Doesn't give up!
It uses its beak to open it..i can see all the bite scratches there. I wonder if that pisses it.
So you lock him in a box and watch him freak out and then lock food in a box and watch him freak out. What result could you ever be expecting? If I do the same to you it would be the same result
What you should be focusing on is the animals who are actually being mistreated.
@@magicdolphin3090 That's vague.
Actually... How did YOU get the fish in there? 😂😂😂
I'm intrigued that he seems to always hide his treats when he gets them (at least in the few videos I've watched). Is it like a snake, and he's hiding the vulnerable moment? Or are the suckers right there at the base that much more dexterous than the others?
I wonder if he would have opened it with access to tools like a rock or sharp edge
Whose in the exhibit? Is it the Crabs or the Octopus?
Shame, that's nasty..
Hope you gave him an extra tasty treat after this..
He’s so mad just his body language is saying he’s stressed and really tryin to figure this out ... they don’t easily give up I see ... 👀
it would be interesting giving him an EVENTUALLY solvable puzzle.. like, how much patience do other beings tend to have...?
Just incidentally (if this is interesting to anyone), i notice with myself that my approach is EXTREMELY dependent on how I feel (unfortunately)... Wven if i am tough enough to ENDURE circumstances, the point is that I tend to not take the initiative when i'm not feeling super well for some reason.
I took 2 (excruciating) WJ3 iq tests when I was younger. One was when i was off of all medication and one was when I was on Adderall. There was almost a 20 point difference. I kept asking myself why.
Contrary to more popular theories as to how such meds work (direct activation of prefrontal cortex), this was when I discovered that my desire to even approach prolonged functional analysis was dramatically affected by how good I felt (ie, yes, the prefrontal cortex would be more activated, but only because it was a natural consequence of my own functioning during times I felt more apt to engage).
Point: Give me something that curbs my tendency towards (focusing on?) discomfort and negativity and I can emjoy engaging and troubleshooting, etc. Otherwise, I'm essentially always seeking to end the pain of living all the time, which cuts potential paths.
Very famous octopus
How did you get the crabs out after the experiment?
If the box does not open, I’m more curious as to how they got them in...
@@heresmokethis Probably some kind of strong epoxy glue. They would be able to cut the box open later.
Πολυ ενδιαφερον !!! 😍
Then how did they get in there?
