Woman And Octopus Are Best Friends - ELORA & EGBERT | The Dodo 

The way he ran from his house with that fish to throw it away from all the other fishes pestering him about it was legit the funniest thing I ever seen an animal do! He was like: "FINE!! TAKE IT!!!!" 😂😂

Buddy was so annoyed he walked a few inches to spit out his food that was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen

Egbert: * Touches log * Lady: * Touches log * Egbert: Stay there, wait. * Grabs shells * Okay now you can go thanks

Egbert is such a cute little octopus.

What a fun story about Egbert. Octopuses are extremely intelligent. It's fun to see how they each experimented with getting to know each other.

Should of called him Squidward cause he's so annoyed with his neighbors 😂

"Octopus teaches Human to push Log:" *Everyone liked that*

They are so sweet and smart.Great experience for you and him.

What an amazing little octopus. And also, what an amazing woman.. the fact that she went back and played with it in its home, on its terms, instead of taking it home as a pet.

Man, whenever I see this type of video I get all choked up. I am far from a tree-hugger yet this makes my heart feel good. Funny how he remembered her and slipped right back into the friendship. He was actually "hey I need to get this stuff, can you help me?" Then had to show her by going "look, I'm pushing this thing, here's what I need help with."

🐙: you giant, are my wife. I take you home now.

Um animal extremamente inteligente Saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Elora: Egbert the octopus is curious. Egbert: This human is beautiful...for a human.

Plot twist: He's been trying to eat her the whole time.

This woman is beautiful, someone should make a cartoon of her story.

That's very touching

Life, intelligence, cry for connections, reasons for living, lasting bonds, light in the eyes, love, all come in many forms. Especially in curious random life forms like this little excited octopus 🐙

This channel can cure depression

Egbert deciding to get rid of the fish just so he would be less annoyed made me laugh hard 😂😂😂

He grabbed your hand just like a little kid does when they want to show you something. That was precious!

Imagine just being a fish swimming by and getting punched 8 times by an octopus

"Thank you for being my friend human, i will tell Cthulhu to spare your life when he finally awakes"

This octopus actually has more personality than some people

Egbert pulls her hand so she can push the log for him. She eventually realized what he wanted her to do. Egbert must've been impressed that humans are intelligent enough to be trained

Lady: "I made friends with an octopus and named it Egbert." Egbert: "I made friends with a human hand and named it Darlene."

Octopus to his mate: 'you won't believe how intelligent they are. I trained it to move things and bring me food."

Having done a lot of diving - I can say that the octopus is an absolute marvel to encounter. Some (mostly the younger ones) are ... So curious. At first it's like "WOW! U THREAT?!" once it establishes that you are not, it's like "Eeer ... What are you then? I've never seen one of you around before." and there begins the act of mutual curiosity :3. You slowly reach with a finger, it sends a tentacle ... you both touch, sometimes they get frightened and clamp your entire hand, flashing black before letting go, but not swimming away. They are playful, find a shiny pebble, hand it to the octopus, it'll take it, check if it can be eaten ... discard it ... then a few sec after send a tentacle back to the pebble out of curiosity as to "why did he give me this pebble ... gotta check again for anything special". They really hold a very special place in my heart, it's not everyday that two species get curious about one another and attempt mutual understanding :) -comment from "the insane biology of: the octopus" video

I bet that's quite an interesting debate they have down at the science institute in Octopi city, when Egbert says his research has proven that humans can actually be trained, and are quite possibly intelligent too!

Was she training the octopus, or was the octopus training her?🤔🐙

What’s so astonishing is that the octopus is actually *instructing* her as to what it wants her to do! That is a really big deal.

Egbert: dad I became friend with a human Cthulhu: bring her here for a dinner some day

YES HUMAN! Hahahaha that’s right push the lodge.... excellent, with my brains and your strength we can rule the seas together - 🐙

The fish annoyed him so much that he literally gave up on holding that fish so he threw it away

Okay that tree trunk thing was incredible, he did a better job of communicating his plan and request than my friends do when helping them move furniture into their new place 😂

Egbert to his friends : I've finally trained the hooman to push the logs for me..

"haha, now I have this human on my side. Now I'm the ruler of the seas!"

You know an octopus is smart when he keeps getting a human to keep returning to him like his personal lapdog and lift up logs for him.

The way he moved your hand to push the log because he wanted help was actually crazy, that was a consciously intention

What an intelligent creature.. the way he threw away the piece of fish given to him just to have his peace back really cracked me up. Reminds me of Squidward being annoyed LOL so adorable.

When he walks to throw the fish away it reminds me of squidwards sassy walk 😂

Can we just appreciate her for not bringing Egbert to a little cage or something?

"He touched my finger with his tentacle, and I think we were both a bit surprised..." AKA That bittersweet moment when you finally meet your soulmate but realize he's in a completely different phylum from you.

I knew these guys were intelligent but I'm completely speechless at how he tried to communicate to her to help him hunt. Omg, that's so wild.

I’m amazed at their intelligence. He showed the human he wanted the log out of the way and even pushed it. Any time an animal shows problem solving skills, that’ll tell you they are intelligent.❤❤❤

The fact that the octopus actually was telling her to move the log is extremely intelligent. I find it quite surprising how no one is talking about that.

The fact that he knew the human could move the log is mind blowing

The fact that it tried communicating with her to get her to push the trunk is so smart, I had no idea they were this intelligent.

Octopus are very intelligent. I think they are adorable 💓🐙

An octopus punching fish 😂🤣🤣🤣 I laughed harder than I should have.

Therapist: Do you have any friends? Me: yeah Therapist: Boy or Girl? Me: Octopus

“Egbert is the most curious octopus that Elora has ever met” SHE’S MET OTHER OCTOPUS?

How wonderful to have a purely organic relationship with a wild ocean animal. This lady and Egbert are both blessed to have found each other ❤

She came back for him multiple times and she didn’t take him home! That’s a true friendship right there

Woman: I'm best friends with an octopus. Octopus: *KEEP BRINGING FOOD HUMAN SLAVE*

We're just beginning to learn how intelligent, responsive, and caring animals are. We have so much to learn from them.

That moment with the log is the closest I’ve seen life get to a Pixar film

'' an octopus tried to eat my finger and we became friends''

2:33 Egbert was like "put your hand here on this log and push. Noo, no not like that. I said put it right here and push up like this. Okay I'm gonna show you one more time, put your hand right here and li-- there you go! Wasn't so hard was it"

Woah that’s pretty wild. He grabbed her finger, swam to her and swam back and indicated he wanted her to push it. That’s so amazing

*Egbert:* _"I never thought humans essential. They're crude and unspeakably plain. But maybe they've a glimmer of potential, if allied to my vision and brain."_

"Hold this log giant ape, i need food."

That was Amazing. I have already seen the interaction of the octopus with humans before, but I have never seen octopus using humans for hunt 😂🤣

I do wish octopus anf cuttlefish lived longer. Wonderful, curious, intelligent, highly emotional and sensitive creatures. And yes he got her to join in on the hunt. Mad respect to her.

Egbert: “puck it up-“ Girl: *picks it up* Egbert: *surprised pikachu face*

I actually read a National Geographic thing awhile ago that said octopi (octopuses?) have incredible reasoning and learning skills. They're super intelligent.

If Octopuses weren't so short-lived, we would literally be teaching them how to read.

🇧🇷This woman is an amazing and fantastic human being. Why? She got to make a friendship with a being in its natural environment. She didn't took Egbert to an aquarium ou deprived him of his FREEDOM. THIS IS WHAT WE HUMANS MUST LEARN. Our planet needs more humans like her. Egbert is an extraordinary being from nature and we humans MUST LEARN TO RESPECT him and all living creatures who divide this planet with us. 🇧🇷

Alternative title: Octopus trains human to help him hunt!

The moment an octopus can pick up girls easier than you...

Mom : who is your best friend? Her : its complicated

If you loved this story I must recommend My Octopus Teacher Absolutely lovely.

Major Respect for her for not taking him home to be put in a Tiny Tank where he would be miserable, She is truly wise and knows what’s best for Wildlife!

Egbert: How to train your human

Egbert throwing a fish away with an UGH bc he was so over everyone is an entire MOOD.

That scene where his little arms were pushing that log was funny.. He looked like he was lifting weights. Lol Its so awesome that he directed you to help him. What a cool experience

Who else is here after the “octopus thanked me” video?

"Woman and Octopus are Best Friends" Hentai Artists: interesting...

We try so hard to look for aliens in space, when they're in our oceans.

I would watch 3 seasons of their friendship. Fascinating, cute, and strangely human.

Becoming friends with cthulhu's servants, I see

Animals are really intelligent. Most of them are terrified of people, but those curious few form bonds with us and are interested in what we are. I wish we could be that way without being so destructive :(

Every once in a while, I come back to this video… always makes me smile. Beautiful little creature, and beautiful human.

XD is it weird that I thought when the octopus's anger just snapped and he stormed out and yeeted the fish as if saying "fine have your stupid fish" was real cute XDD *never did I know that an octopus can be so cute-*

"Oh good you're here! Come use your weird tentacles to push this log up. Thanks Karen, this is the easiest lunch I've gotten in days!"

that's probably the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

Lady... i demand update on nice Egbert... It was almost 10 months ago... Is it kraken yet? 😊

I used to scrape barnacles offa boats that were moored when I was a teen. This octopus used to come hang out and after awhile i began feeding it some baitfish from time to time. Well, we became great, great pals. He (or she) would hover around and chase off the curious snooks n jacks that occasionally hit me in the face. Well, one day he kept coming right up in my face and grabbing at me, like he was trying to pull me up from under the boat. He also started to flash like a red strobe kinda thing (he never changed colors just when he would return to his cave n settle). Honestly if it weren't an octopus I'd have thought he was panicky. So I begin looking around, and circling the boat with its fins down and its back in a high arch is this massive, massive great hammerhead (didnt look too long but it was over 12ft). I dunno what I did to piss this shark off but I hightailed it outta there, all thanks to my octopus buddy. (As an aside, this was when I was 15 or 16, returned @25 and he was still there, and still remembered me! I wish digital cameras were a thing then cuz i still cant find a video similar to the way he was sorta moving his colors that day. ) EDIT: 1993 Goodland, FL

I am not aware of ANYTHING more fascinating than this. It's so interesting and absolutely amazing to see this inter species interaction. Mind blowing! 💚💛🧡🐙🐙🐙

This is why I don't have friends, I've been doing it wrong. I shall befriend an animal

🐙 what a funny little guy ! Punching the fish 🐠 away hahah

I believe in bonding & they do have a special relationship ...Octopus are simply awesome.!Thanks Dodo for showing us something amazing!!❤🙏

I love how the jar says: “Edberts jar”

Octopus: Tries to eat hand He was very friendly Octopus: "Am I a joke to you?"

Egbert: Father. Cthulhu: Yes, my Child? Egbert: Spare this one. *Thanks for all the likes guys, very much appreciated.*

This is soooo sweet and cute!!! I love how she tries to test its intelligence hehe! I want an octopus friend now ... 🐙😍

"Yessss, YEEEEES, Human! Do my bidding and I will reward you greatly with treasures that shall last you a lifetime. Move that giant log! AAAAAHAHAHAAAA, I AM A GOD!"

This is the best thing I have seen on the internet in a long time. Like you, I would feel like I would have to go check on him every single day to make sure he’s ok. Egbert is hilarious. You should have a daily RU-vid channel on him. I couldn’t wait to see what he’s up to.

When the little guy pulled her hand toward the log, it was crystal clear what he was trying to accomplish. The intelligence of this octopus blew my mind! I had no idea they were so intelligent!

He protec He attacc But most importantly He always swims bacc Edit: Thanks for the likes friends owo

Looks like both the octopus and the human were very surprised at each other's company. A precious moment indeed.
