I used to live in the Florida Keys and was in the ocean all the time - sometimes 2-4x/day on average. I loved playing with the Cuttlefish - I'd bring bracelets with colored gemstones on them, a water ring game, waterproof picture cards, etc. They always loved that stuff - you could clearly see them learning, and after a bit they began to figure out how to communicate with me through their body language! These creatures are very very smart... Ever since then I have not eaten squid, octopus, etc - they seemed to be as smart as young children, so to me killing one was a sin...

I remember watching a nature show that had a segment about an aquarium that had an octopus in one tank, and some fish in the neighboring tank. There was a few feet of shelf between the tanks, they were not right up against eachother. . The scientists started noticing there would be fewer fish in the fishtank when they came in every morning. They set up a camera to film at night. The octopus was climbing out of his own tank, creeping along the shelf, and going into the fish tank to eat some fish. Then it would creep BACK TO HIS OWN TANK and sit there looking all innocent in the morning. They are smart af. Then in another story they put a small fish in a glass jar of water with a screw-on top. They put the jar into the octopus tank. The octopus could see the fish and wanted to eat it. It surrounded the jar and just kept investigating with it's arms, and it quickly figured out how to UNSCREW the lid of the jar to get the fish. That is a complicated action, not simple like just squeezing or hitting something until it breaks. You have to hold the jar tightly with one arm and twist the lid with the other arm.

When you think about it, it's absolutely mind-blowing that they can do all that, and so fast no less. Imagine if you had the ability to change the color and height of your skin and wanted to camouflage. Just try to think about the monumental task of controlling each of those thousands of individual "skin pixels" in a split second in just the right way to match the surroundings. 🤯

I bet the first person that see the amazing camouflage of the Octopus thought they was hallucinating when they see that amazing event.

I’ll never eat another octopus salad again

Cephalopods are fast becoming my favourite class of animal - I once saw Squid being hauled up by fisherman and my reaction was distress - I literally cried at these beautiful creatures being caught. There is something deeply ‘kinlike’ to these creatures - the eyes, the hugely clever mimicry, that amazing, amazing skin! And finally, if someone told me that a particular class of marine invertebrates actually evolved on another planet before arriving here - I’d say it was the Cephalopods.

Super awesome. Thanks for the video!

Beautiful, amazing! I love them! Especially the adorable cuttlefish and how they fend off on the one side, but then flush all fresh and friendly for the female on the other side. How sweet is that?! Just think: ink that you could control in your skin, like tattoos you could switch out painlessly and in seconds almost like led signs rotate through ads. I mean it is creepy, but mesmerizing and incredible they have such similar cognitive abilities to a 4 year old human. I’m sure they have many other logical abilities and awarenesses we have only barely scratched the surface. They’re fascinating. I can’t help but love them, even as they kind of horrify me in the same breath. Shape-shifters, seems almost alien, and yet we share this earth and share a common ancestor of some worm. It really is out there, isn’t it? Iridescent, light sensitive skin! What a trip. So awesome.

If these creatures can do this...it makes it less of a stretch when considering the possibility abilities of creatures or life from other planets...dimensions...whatever.

Excellent discussion about the construction of a very different lifeform. RNA editing, pattern and texture mimicry, memory, problem solving, all this is astounding. What spoils the presentation is the evolutionary tree chart. How can any thinking person witness animals with these abilities and characteristics and then ascribe it all to mindlessness? There has never been seen any random process that increases complexity. Ask Richard Dawkins.

whats scary is thinking about the first one who came back from an unsuccessful hunt and gave them all the Locker room halftime speech plus the tactics to succeed. brought them all together as a team and them successfully passed it down the gene pool. this is along the lines of some humans living in huts/tent/yurts/caves/and small clay dwellings and then one day some guy saying "what if we built a couple buildings 1000 times bigger than we ever had out of materials we have to painstakingly dig up miles away i mean huge stones and sheets of limestone weighing in at several tons, in a shaped we have NEVER used before. it will be so large, NO *GIGANTIC* that the construction can never be completed in one NO two lifetimes maybe even hundreds of years. and we shall call hem the pyramids" yeah sometimes earth organisms just end up doing some weird stuff when they get together,extreme comparison i know but like that is not a part of biological evolution you chose to do that, why? you chose to use your skin to coordinate strategy. and then whole day of rabbit hole thoughts come from.

I've often wondered could octopus potentially pass down the capacity for new knowledge through RNA? Maybe not RNA but epigenetics activating aspects of RNA and DNA but on a different level we hadn't imagined before with octopus.
