Taken From Blue Planet II
This bold cinematic experience takes viewers on a magical adventure across the greatest, yet least known, parts of our planet - our oceans. Since Blue Planet aired in 2001, our understanding of life beneath the waves has completely changed. Travelling from the icy polar seas to the vibrant blues of the coral atolls, this series shares these astonishing new discoveries. Meet the strange octopuses lurking in the depths of the Antarctic Ocean. Watch giant trevally fish leap to catch birds in mid-air. And ride on the back of a hammerhead shark as it attacks. Inspiring awe and wonder, Blue Planet II reveals surprising new places, charismatic new characters and extraordinary new behaviours.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

Yes, I sometimes call it cross-generational intelligence or memory but I'm sure evolution has a better term for it. The fact that there's an underlying memory, intelligence, and imagination within every living being that transfers to the next one. I know some people will say "that's just DNA" but it feels like more is going on than that. I suppose it's the closest thing to a God we have (the 'greater mind' within all living beings).

DNA is a coding language. Anyone who can't see that is willfully suppressing the truth. It's just a fact. No, dust and water and lightning didn't make code over billions of years. If you found a Shakespeare sonnet laying on a beach, you don't say time and chance produced it. You know an intelligent person made it. Same with DNA. Very simple to understand God made all life. That's not to say especiation from a broader genome to a more specific expression doesn't occur, but that's a loss of data, not gains over time. Close to all mutations are deleterious upon the genome.

the art of editing
if you focus in on the "shadowing" effect the patterns create, it makes it pretty much impossible to notice that the cuttlefish was slowly moving towards the camera, i think i've found exactly how the "mesmerizing" mechanic works. when the dark stripes head down and towards the face, in the opposite direction the cuttlefish is moving, it creates a "movement camoflage" to onlookers, to trick them into thinking that the cuttlefish is stationary.

The way the cuttlefish looks around, notices the shark, and turns to focus on the crab, you can tell it has a terrifying level of intelligence. It's not just acting on instinct. It's making decisions and planning.

Don’t know if you saw that. University of Ohio researchers have theorized that the asteroid strike, and the roughly antipodal Siberian traps that flowed around the time of Permian extinction were related to the greatest mass extinction of all time. I suggest you to please look into this. Thanks! Edit: sorry for the segue. I love cuttlefish too. They have superpowers, by comparison to other animals in the ocean of the same size. 🙂🙂🙂

Cuttlefish... thank God they're not bus sized.
The cuttlefish looks like a fish seen from behind with two fins and a teil. The mesmerizing effects make it seem to swim away from the crab.
the editing and cinematography of this is stunning, the fact that they were not only able to get these shots but do it in such a dramatic and anthropomorphic way is amazing

@@stevebennett9839 the place where this was presumably filmed (the area where they were doing the fly over in the beginning) is in Indonesia well out of the typhoon belt. It also seems that the corals found in this area are somehow much hardier against coral bleaching events. As long as it can be protected, there is reason to hope that these coral gardens will weather the proverbial storm.
The videography in these videos is astonishing! So is the post-production work. These people are surpassingly great at what they do.

Shark: Hi.
i love how alien the music gets when the cuttlefish is hypnotizing its prey
The fins of Cuttlefish moves like a Sine Wave. So perfect.
BBC Earth I hope you're reading the comments because all the people in the comments are saying good things about you all in the studio. The soundman is amazing he deserves a raise. You guys will never cease to amaze me. Sharon McCluskey from Germany.
BBC nightmare fuel is on Point! David's calming voice, That sound mix, and Cuttlefish.
I always felt enchanting to his voice
Bruh I cannot believe my eyes, that's out of this world pure talent
Magnificent technique by the cuttle fish , insane videotaping and marvelous audio effects ..one of the best videos ever!

What a harsh environment. But beautiful creatures.
I could never forget the first time I saw this kind of thing on TV, it's hypnotizing and scary at the same time, like how there's such a thing
Idk who they’re going to get to narrate these after Sir Attenborough passes, but he’s going to have huge shoes to fill. Every time I click on one of these videos, and how voice comes on, I just wanna crawl into bed and relax while learning more about our beautiful planet with his soothing, wise voice guiding the way.

Sea wildlife is just, magic. I'd give anything to live there (even as a prey) for a day or two. not in a disturbing way, these animals just amaze me
Such a beautiful world inside the sea
My only question is how the cuttlefish isn’t everyones favorite animal

It is your primary directive to swim closer to that beautiful creature (beautiful creature...)
If you look at the pattern movement closely, it gives the illusion of movement - away from the prey.

In combination with the spooky music, yeah that gives it the extra tension.
When the mantis shrimp 🦐 ducked back under after the cuttlefish spit out a crab 🦀 appendage, I had such a giggle 🤭
I've caught a cuttlefish once, when I was younger and I remember changing It's colours. It was really cool.
