I love how as the octopus is retreating into its home it bonks the back of its head on the shell and narrows its eyes as though to say "ah crap I was looking to make a graceful exit"
I wonder if there have ever been animals that worshipped us as gods? I mean, we can tame lions, bears, tigers, elephants and all manner of animals that have various ways of easily killing us, so it wouldn't be far fetched to believe there have been animals that, to some extent, see us as deities...#ShowerThoughts
@@talphazero1036 ahhh they are technically just fed to the point where they don't dvour us, I will promise you no trainer ever comes close with these animals without their basic needs having been completely met, otherwise a stomping and ripping to shreds of a human will occur. hardly a god in their eyes.
That octopus put on a show. Holy shit. It knew it was being filmed. It ate him, then cleaned the skull out like the predator, went back into its lair, and just posed like a badass.
Octo makes direct eye contact... "Choose your next move carefully... It'd be a real shame if someone was to get eaten and end up nothin' but a shell. A real shame..."
I feel like it would be the other way around, squid lad is very annoying and depressing and he's not good at the claronet or painting while Mr Crabs is happy most of the time at least.
@edgar medrano NO HE IS NOT. The creator Stephen Hillenburg said it himself. He named him Squidward because he thought Octoward was too weird. It was also presented in a Spongebob documentary which I'm sure you can find on RU-vid.
@@okyunderwater5167 I like how they are so adaptable and can thrive even areas which would be deadly to most other species. Even under an active volcano smh!
Not really, they are quiets stupid like all other non mammalian marine life. Just because they are good at squeezing through small holes doesn't make them smart. In fact this species is an invertebrate which basically means they are among the dumbest forms of animal life. They do in fact have large brains for invertebrates but still very stupid and easily trapped, caught, or fooled.
Craps are a primary prey species it would be surprising if they did not know how to attack them affectively and safely. Cuddle fish and octopus both usually attack craps from above or behind yo avoid pincers.
I love this, it really shows animals have a mind of their own, with their own thoughts and memories, to me it’s like the octopus is saying “oh hey i remember you, i noticed all you did was watch me hunt so heres the aftermath”
In most case soft is stronger than hard. eg: 1. concrete breaks, foam squishes and take back its original shape. 2. Car accident.. human grips the dashboard and breaks many limbs, a relaxed person will only get some bruises. 3. Egg dropped on floor breaks, superball bounces. ...ect.
Narrator: "The octopus throws the carapace towards me." Octopus: "Here ya go, here's something to for you study in your little laboratory." The more I see of those critters, the more they look like the aliens that got left behind on our world.
Scientists have said that if Humans ever leave Earth entirely or go extinct the most likely animal to develop sentience and eventually civilization will almost certainly be some form of octopus or squid... birds are also considered to be one of the likely ones also.
The way they inject poisons into their victims to paralyze them then inject enzymes so the victims flesh gets turned into delicious and lovely crab juice until only an empty shell remains is pretty nice, , I certainly understand why you would be fond of them.
It’s amazing how smart these guys are and they are related to clams and muscles? One of my favorite ocean critters and I have had many great experiences with them while diving. The color changes are like a light show and that is always fascinating to watch. I here the Lembeh Straits have tons of photographic material. Thanks for sharing.
Octopus are cephalopods, related to squid, cuttlefish and nautilus. You're absolutely right, they are so interesting to observe while diving. Diving in Lembeh Strait is superb in terms of watching all sorts of animal behaviour - I love it. Just hope I can get back there some time this year!
They aren't related to clams and mussels. That's what people who believe in fairy tales think, but it isn't true. They are categorized together at the phylum level, that's all.
@@SalvableRuin and what do you think our modern classification of phylums and all other categories is based on? Beacause it's definetely not morphology
I don't need scientific articles and scientists to tell me about the intelligence of an octopus, just watching their behaviour for even a minute shows how much they plan ahead, solve problems, outplay and outsmart both their prey and enemies. These creatures to me are just otherworldly, unlike any other species on earth.
After watching "My Octopus Teacher", I've found a new love and respect for this wonderful, intelligent animal. Your video is terrific, and I can't get enough of watching these great creatures of the sea. Octopuses are extremely intelligent animals that should be studied and protected ever more!
The "spanner crab" is native to eastern Australian waters but was introduced to Hawaii where it is called the "Kona crab." Fish markets in Hawaii especially Honolulu China Town sell them and they grow very large with alot of meat. The crab was named as the front claws look like a spanner wrench.
I see Coconut Octopus in the shallows of Bali quite regularly, but haven't been lucky enough to witness one hunting as of yet. Great video, and excellent that you were able to return and find it the next day (they seem to change locations here daily)
1:55 Take away from it: If someone's kind enough to make you a casserole. You can at least return the dish the next day. They may need it for something else.
or how i just walk 10 feet from home door and throw trash in the bin. before bins people threw their trash in the nearest ditch or just piece of land. octo didnt want the carapace trash in his house
Sorry crab, but you're basically a big slow water bug and you ran into a straight up superintelligent shapeshifting alienoid with a poison injector and 9 nervous systems. The fight was over before it even began. It's like a guy in a backhoe fighting a team of navy seals in an attack helicopter
I can't give an exact answer but it was about 7 minutes before the octopus started to drag it away, at which time there was no further movement from the crab.
