Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Among the most mesmerizing and fascinating deep sea creatures is the Blanket Octopus, a cephalopod known for its dramatic, sometimes rainbow-colored webbing which connects its eight arms.
Encounters from an oil rig site and an expedition in the Philippines reveal the Blanket Octopus in its natural habitat as well as its impressive and majestic appearance.

What else lurks within the abyss?

@@godemperor9160 Wdym? These are beatiful animals
Pietari Hautera All creatures with tentacles are abominations, you think it is coincidence that all eldritch abominations have tentacles. Why do you think we fear the kraken or the lusca
@@godemperor9160 When did i talk about them being dangerous? Lion's are dangerous but they are also beatiful. It does not matter how dangerous the animal is, since propably no human's will get very close to them. But they are beatiful nonetheless.
@@forza3943 Some cannot appreciate beauty.
So this octopus is using tools. They're ripping the stingers off of the Man O' War, gripping them, and then whipping them at their enemies with their appendages. Incredible. Freaking amazing.
It isnt the only octopus that knows how to use tools. Theres another type that uses empty clam shells as shelter
@@TheSergio1021 You're right. I remember reading something about that. Makes you wonder just how intelligent some of these sea creatures are, just not the same kind of intelligence that humans are measured by.
@@AlphaMachina It's a shame, then, that their tentacles are insufficient for creating complex tools. They are intelligent, but it seems like they're forced to adapt to their surroundings more often than humans.
Pet octopi do puzzles.
@ Ants and octopi are the two species humanity should fear.
Someone should make blankets resembling these. I'd probably buy one.
Some rich guy in 100 year will see this comment and become richer while their population goes down
“Someone should do make something for me so I might consider buying it” like nah
This is how I envision an alien to look like- eerily beautiful. Honestly, this looks so out of this world that I am mesmerized. It travels like silk and its colors are so iridescent.
Reality is always crazier than fiction, I'll tell you that.
Not really, have you seen some of the fantasy out there?
I'll say that when I see something crazier than Siren Head
Kinda fiction you been reading
Are you sure about that?
I ready a book where someone broke a Nokia
@@brando3465 imposible
This is the most beautiful animal on the planet, even more mesmerising than that siphonophore with all the tentacles
This channel gives my little artist brain so many ideas!
So happy to hear! The deep sea captures all of our imaginations :)
And nightmares. Siphonophores and magnapinna squid appearing from the abyss like those jump scare things out of subnautica. One minute there's nothing... blink and "Holly fucking hell! Goddamnit." Heart skips a few beats.
Such a wild yet beautiful looking octopus
incredibly beatiful as with everything in the ocean down to the slimest most dangerous creature
Wow,
So graceful & elegant! This gorgeous creature does have some humanoid features in different lights, and movements, "angles"!, if you will. Looks to me like it does have a head, arms, & legs! I couldn't see the fine print on the screen so I don't know how big this awesome, & Amazing beauty of the deep creature is !?, I also believe that it could have been mistaken for a Mermaid, Back when, and even now! I think it's one of the coolest things I've ever seen in the deep sea!, there's a whole lot more of these wonderful creatures that we haven't seen yet!
I just love these kinds of video updates. FANTASTIC FOOTAGE! So well put together. Thank you for sharing these videos with us.
So very special!
GBU.,SM.,NZ.,😐😯😀😁😀❤ IT!
It is absolutely surreal how beautiful this creature is. It's like she knows how gorgeous she is and is flaunting it.
No. 1 fav Cephalopod!!😍 they look so colorful and beautiful💜
I was so shook and happy when i found out that they saw two female blanket octos in the Philippines where i live😮 i hope i get to see these beautiful creatures in the future!!💜
3:25 the most beautiful sea creature I ever saw..... absolutely breath taking!!
Those colors! Absolutely stunning. Wonder what it eats?? And is it entirely pelagic?
I'm pretty sure it eats shrimp, fish, and other crusteaceans, and yes, unlike most octopuses, it is entirely pelagic
Why not called a peacoctopus? So pretty and colorful! :D
Cause it's an female.
Those colors. That's so beautiful..
That's the most beautiful creature I've ever seen 😮 thank you so much for all the info, she's so amazing!!!
In my opinion, the most magnificent and beautiful creature on earth.
A living rainbow, gorgeous.
If I saw this in person my mouth would be open so long that I’d drown myself before I even knew what happened. Easily my favorite octopus now
They may be odd, but they’re really beautiful to look at.
when it lets out its fleshy blanket it kinda looks like an oar fish at 2:45
One of -the- most astonishing of beauties I have ever seen... I could only imagine being close to one in person. Near the end, it felt like I was watching her float through space. I hate to admit, but I got teary eyed during this... I wish I had pursued my childhood dream of becoming a marine biologist... 😓
i swear to God if you go even deeper you're gonna find some psychic octopus down there
im not complaining tho
Ok.. Rarely do I tear up at the sight of an animal anymore.. but today is a rare day, I guess.
I just had the same experience! Glad I’m not alone.
When an octopus is prettier than you
It's prettier than anyone I've ever seen!
3:31 Looks like a cape-wearing fairy! So mesmerizing!
Astonishing! That is the most mind blowing thing I've seen in ages!
So graceful and so very beautiful! The colors they display are stunning!
Cephalopods are awesome 👏!
I want a dress like that
There's your Mermaid folks!
What a beautiful creature...
stunning beyond words
Beautiful graceful creature... (Ominous ambiance) What else lurks within the abyss.
1:37
What's happening here? Looks like part of it's body got ripped off.
Rampageotron probably a defense like same octopus throw their own limbs to distract enemies
@@PinkLemonShark No. These damn submersibles tear apart delicate sea life all the time with their water propulsion jets.
@@N3003Qsadly yes
Simply beautiful
It’s gorgeous!
I’m fascinated by this octopus
A beautiful nope. Beautiful, but still, nope.
Beautiful!
Assistindo de novo esse vídeo dessa criatura espetacular, realmente é muito bonito esse octopus
STUNNING.
I admit now watching for the soundtracks. They are great.
In the cold dark depths there are still rainbows
This things appearance is just amazing
Excuse me, Ms? You dropped some of your blanket.
Thanks to this video I've learned about a bizarre sea creature I never knew existed. I love it when that happens!
So mesmerising
Voltando aqui para ver essa criatura magnífica do mar profundo. Um show de beleza e que temos a oportunidade de assistir.
It's a ocean peacock
Fantastic omg!
Meu Deus que criatura sensacional. Fiquei impressionado. Se existe perfeição, ela está aí, no mar profundo!
Of all animals on this planet, only the ones in the ocean scare me because I can't hardly fight back. Of those in the ocean, none scare me more than squid, octopi, and jellies.
God has created such a wonderful and mysterious world for us to inhabit and filled it with beautiful creatures.
What a beautiful octopus
Discards at least one arm OUCH!
Beautiful creature. I wonder if the Ningen was actually one of these.
Poor male blanket octopus🐙😞
Magnificent
Anyone else notice one of the poor girls blanket tentacles snaps off when she gets disturb really quickly at 1:38-1:40
2:43 nightmare fuel
Okay, at 1:38 it jettisoned part of its blanket/tentacle. Next thing you know it's back to the same length it was to begin with.
Il keep watching your stuff but i always have to turn the sound off ma dude. The music and soundscapes your using are more terrifying then most of the creatures you cover xD
I like em. Make it much more eerie and mysterious
Why did I just get a UA-cam ad for Reddit
I was looking for my blanket, how did it and up in the ocean.
Everybody gangsta until Magnapinna starts T-posing
Could be an open space lifeform in its natural habitat, with stars in background and debris graviting all along.
And not lose anyrhing of its(HER!) mesmerizing effect.
I could see someone mistaking thos for a mermaid...no?
What’s scary is the amount of pollution in the ocean we must save the seas
I can see this being mistaken for a mermaid.....pretty cool!
2:43 oh hell no..
I really wish these videos were narrated. Even if it was a monotone straight reading, or a computer voice. It’s not much to read, but the fact is, a lot of people are gonna look elsewhere for the info simply bc they don’t wanna read a UA-cam video. I sent my dad some of these and he said “oh I saw that you had to read them and I just typed the animal’s name into search and watched other videos. I’ll get around to them, just haven’t yet.” I know him, and that is a straight up lie. Anyways, as much as I’d like narration too, I’ll keep watching them regardless.
Imagine a cruel free deep sea fish aquarium
So it’s the male that uses the man o war stingers as a defense? Maybe I missed that, the video made it look like it was a male during that explanation, also, how do they use the stingers? Like a sword? Do they wrap themselves in the hangy things from the jellyfish? Definitely would like to know more
...Welcome to Subnautica.
Seems to have more in common morphologically with a squid?
I wonder how many creature have been destroyed by people even before people had never discovered
2:32 It's actually "octopuses", believe it or not.
It's like a shape-shifter
That thought came across my mind as well! You know anything is possible! I have seen some crazy things throughout my lifetime, and I must say, that it's been a real trippy experience! NZ. :).
Why did it remove one of the blankets-
15:00
Please tell me where you get the music for this!!
Link in the description :)
@@DeepseaOddities also i love all of y'alls videos, they're so good 😊
It’s interesting how many deep sea animals show extreme sexual dimorphism, with full-sized females and tiny short-lived male drones. I imagine this is partly because of the scarcity in resources, as well as the distances such animals have to travel to find a potential mate.
Because if males were also full-sized, they would directly compete with females that they might potentially mate with for local resources, reducing survivability for both. And since females have to be large enough to produce and protect the eggs, which is many times more physically taxing than producing sperm, it’s much more efficient for just the females to be large.
Should of been called the Piano Key octopus
Damn now I want a big-blanket octo gf
Is this real
Neon meat dream of an octofish.
Is it really an Octopus? It looks more like a squid to me
What's next a Blanket Shark?
A mermaid of yore
It looked like a mermaid from below
Don't tell me that you say octopi instead of octopodes
from 3min 30s her majesty looked like a humanoid
Why the hell is it always the gulf of mexico???
The plural of octopus is octopodes
Mermaids.
What’s with the channel rebrand?
Editor here: the channel is being taken in a new direction to focus on deep sea related content, including the continuation of Deepsea Oddities segments as well as other new kinds of segments.
I'm a film student and am continuing to make short films, however I won't be posting everything I make to UA-cam anymore as I personally don't think it's the best venue to share my work. So the channel was rebranded to focus on the popular DSO content instead of our short films, the last of which wasn't well received by our subscribers.
Lionel R. Jeffries ah damn, that’s a shame. considered another channel for the short films?
That blanket resembles the color rainbow. I think the LGBTs would be proud.
