I wonder if this dude know how many people he's gotten through college and how familiar his content feels, its comforting in a way idk maybe I'm just a nerd
Holy tentacles, Batman! What a fun presentation on cephalopods. I remember the first time I saw a live octopus when first learning to scuba dive off the shore of the Florida panhandle. It absolutely freaked me out. They are such graceful creatures and they are sneaky smart!
Thanks Dave, very informative. When I was a kid, the octopus at the Academy of Sciences in SF got out of it's tank and walked across to the adjacent Dungeness crab tank and broke into it. When the staff arrived in the morning, they discovered the octopus had eaten all the crabs. They are truly amazing, and I stopped eating them. Thanks again.
That was a great presentation, especially the anatomy of cephalopods shows how evolution can develop different body-plans in lineages separated by millions of years like in cephalopods and us.
Fun fact: coleoid cephalopods can control their own gene expression by using special RNA messages. This also means they have an extremely low rate of mutations, and thus evolve slowly.
fun fact about cephalopods is that it is mistakenly said their eyes and vertebrate eyes are an example of convergent evolution, even though it is a better example of parallel evolution as both eyes took a similar evolutionary path from the same starting point.
I really wonder how long it would have taken cience to figure out cephalopods are mollusks if nautilus had gone extinct. So much of their morphology is different, i wouldn't be surprised if it only happened in the 1950's
I'm convinced the only reason that octopus\squid are not the top of the foodchain is because they have such short life spans. Can you imagine if something like the Humboldt squid had evolved over 60 million years with an average life expectancy of 60 years instead of 5
yooo splatoon real life (jk) no seriously, cephalopods are so cool. the cuttlefish is my favorite animal of all time. they're absolutely gorgeous and i love their shape. im really happy this video was made because it's such a good reference as a cephalopod lover. not too long and easy to understand!
Beg pardon. Cthulhu is no more fictional than Yahweh, is a better conversationalist, and has far less blood on his......tentacles. Edit: tentacles, arms, or toothed-suckers, I don't recall. Been a long time since I read the Holy text.
The octopus was gifted with his tentacles and he knows that and has no time to even assume the octopus lives on a spinning ball. Furthermore we have exactly no idea why creatures do what they do but they might know exactly what they are here to do. They arnt mindless creatures like only our perception allows us. We could know the real reason why we are here like they know because they are not manipulating themselves to go against themselves like some entity that isn’t in the physical but in an unexperience locationless. The fact that the earth takes place in a steady flat location is that of an experiment and what exactly is bellow and what us above the waters above but almost no where to go because this is where insanity comes from

17:15 you forgot to add in their ability to predict Football World Cup results as well!

We finally made it, here. The most intelligent molluscs of their respective phylum. Octopuses, especially, are really fascinating creatures.

You are a very good UA-camr.❤
Dave is a true master of pedagogy.
I envy him.

I never knew some Mollusca were so incredibly intelligent! Very educational and interesting :)

Great ! Thank you Dave ! by the way, mollusk eye (compared to a vertebrate eye) is one of the best examples on how convergent evolution works.

The Kraken!
Learning about cephalopods is always fun! They’re my favorite! 🐙 🦑
They certainly are delicious.
JK
Spidermen and Spider'omen of the sea. Mad respect, I can't even control 2 arms!
You are the boss mister
Cmon, EVERYONE knows that octopuses actually came from outer space!
I wonder if the Creationist Octopi deny they are descended from the older mollusca.
I am always 25% smarter when I see your videos, thank you very much.
Love this lecture
Yay i was waiting for this
If they also had opposing thumbs, we'd be in trouble.
I know it may not seem like it.. but this is how you fight religious fundamentalism.
I love cephalopods
Cephalopods are the best animals.
I have been strangely hyped for this video.
Thanks 🙏
Will you ever do a video on arachnids?
Yes, this series will cover every major animal group.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Nice! Looking forward to it.
yooo splatoon real life (jk)
no seriously, cephalopods are so cool. the cuttlefish is my favorite animal of all time. they're absolutely gorgeous and i love their shape. im really happy this video was made because it's such a good reference as a cephalopod lover. not too long and easy to understand!
Cephalopods are amazing! 😅
Yarrrrr, here be krakens!
I love cuttlefish and octopuses. Cephalopods are awesome.
God clearly is a Cephalopod since they're so badass. 😂
Triassic phragmoteuthid belemnoid is the extinct octopus
16:00
Beautifully grotesque
😅
I love octopus
They're cute :D
OH MY GOD IT'S SQUIDWARD
Thank you biology Jesus
🐙
Squidward 2024! lol
I kinda want a pet octopus now but i know i wouldn't be able to properly care for it
There is a youtuber called The Reef Doc who keeps octos as pets. He has some really great content and advice on keeping them, totally worth a look.
We used to play with one in a rock pool. Got to know each other quite well.
@@diverguy3556 that octopus, birdie, is so cute!
This is the Molusca series I have been waiting for 🙌
Octopuses freak me out
Aliens no doubt 😂
The mom octopuses make me sad
1 year ago!?!?
this is great, thanks
Yar be forgetting bout thee ol cracken
🤣Great video 🤙👍ps. Thanks for taking out flat earth dave
0:55 You do realise that Samoans and Hawaiians are Polynesians, and their share the same cultural origins?
12:15
that is so romantic ❤❤
Don my man you here ?
If one of the secondary hearts fail, can an octopus survive?
mindflayer propaganda
👍🙏💯
Also here? Come on!
Thank you for not saying octopi
…among many other things much more interesting and awesome than that lol
Stop procrastinating!
How? He's explaining
Squidward
sneaky femboy octopus, lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You forgot to mention that they are delicious 😋 😂

Cthulhu's head Resembles a octopus but he has a humanoid body.
Super fascinating yeah, but um, where does Jesus come into this?? I'm confused?? Didn't God magic these things into existence??
I'd say if they were made "in his own image" we"re talking the Flying Spaghetti Montser.
So all because Octopai happen to be intelligent we can't eat them?
I mean yeah, kinda. That's how I feel about it.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains I have had octopus. If you can get past the suction cups they are delicious.
They should be farmed not protected.
They TASTY🐙🦑

Stay away from my tutorials, troll.
