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.

    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.

    Give the guy who does the ambience and sound affects a raise. Because that seriously got me into the climax of the video. Also can we acknowledge just how beautiful life is on earth. Like evolution. Who would have ever thought in a million years that animals like these could exist if they never saw one and we didn’t have cameras to document them.

    They use a similar pattern to ward off unwanted attention as well. The unwanted attention was me in this case. I had a cuttlefish try to mesmerize me as I was too curious and wanted to touch it. It ended up doing flashy patterns and moving its tentacles pulling a Jedi mind trick on me "these are not the cuttlefish you are looking for"

    Hi Anton, I’m a big fan of your channel. I tried to suggest to you earlier to do an episode on the Permian extinction and it’s possible link to a large crater found beneath the Antarctic Ice. 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. 🙂🙂🙂

    When the mantis shrimp 🦐 ducked back under after the cuttlefish spit out a crab 🦀 appendage, I had such a giggle 🤭
