Hi maerk
oh
Bet
First
It’s crazy to think that mark was kept as a pet by an octopus for a couple months
LOL
Facts!!!!
Underrated comment. 😆
OH I did not get that at first that’s so funny also if you got a cat you don’t have a cat the cat has you!!!
🇰🇷🇧🇷
this octopus will meet another octopus in the ocean and will go like "dude, you wouldn't believe the s*** i've been thru.."
Just like people abducted by aliens.
or police @BigNorseWolf
Зато сколько креветок за раз пощупал😂
5:33 that is so so SO true
😂😂😂
Mark is really putting every species to the test.
Including humans lol 😂
Bro imagine human test
xdddddd
(16 likes)
I bet he’s gonna do aliens soon
next is infants vs moon
Naming him sashimi is like naming your pet pig prosciutto
😂
or Cat Shiamisen xD
Which is not food, but still xD
I have seen pet pigs named Bacon. There is even a "Chris P. Bacon" out there somewhere.
I have named my pet cat "Dog" just to confuse guests. It's great fun.

it’s crazy that a sack of fluid and matter is able to squeeze through a finger sized hole while also being smart enough to problem solve and remember people. what an incredible animal
Basically what a human would be without the bone
It’s almost more impressive than a human tbh. The uniqueness is incredible
@davisperron4260 we are probably lucky that they don’t live that long if not we may get invaded
they have way more abilities due to having 8 fully mobile limbs rather than 4. their size and resulting weakness as well as their short lifespan is what holds them back.@davehoward22
You do realize we are a sack of matter too
If their lifespan wasn't so short, I swear they could take over
Can *and should* take over
Judging from the decreasing attention span of humans, I believe that they will take over, if they can survive the global destruction that humans have made.
Had a discussion with my professor about this! We firmly believe that the things that really set octopi aside from being far more advanced than they could be is their shortened lifespan. If they could live longer and possessed intergenerational knowledge like our ancestors did then they'd be well on their way to turning into a species capable of stuff like language, culture, etc!
I wonder if medicinals could extend octopuses' lifespan as they do with humans'
Suddenly War Of The Worlds takes on a darker side. Not Mars, but from the Seas!
While it's sad the octopus has such a short life span, I read in a book it's theorized the octopus experiences time differently than us due to the sheer amount of information they're processing basically all the time. I'd like to think in those really brief moments where they swim up and touch humans, it's like they're having days long conversations just from simple touch and taste and smell. And idk. Thinking about this just makes me reflect on how we can stretch out our perception of time just by noticing and appreciating all the things around us similar to the octopus.
This was a beautiful comment. Thank you. ❤
That's a nice perspective
And then imagine that mukbang Asian woman eating them alive
@FatboiReborn You don't have to bring that energy here. Please don't.
@FatboiReborngo to gym bro😊
15:14 goodbye sashimi we will miss you
Octopuses are absolutely insane. I swear if they lived longer they could probably get better at math than me.
Octopuses*
?@franktothemax
So could my gerbil......Awhhhhho! Buuuuuurn!
@zteirOctopuses is the more correct plural form than octopi
@franktothemax☝️🤓
As an animator once tasked with animating an octopus, I could tell their arms had independent intelligence. It’s the most difficult thing to animate bar none. Almost impossible to do it all 100% correct without cheats.
What’s the proof they have intelligence in the arms tho? Like what is the specific biological difference in their arms?? we have gray matter in our spines that also process and integrate (make decisions) without needing to go to our main brain.
To me it just seems like standard sensory information from the peripheral nervous system being processed the same way we do our automatic responses.
are you a doctor?@carsonhunt4642
@carsonhunt4642 So you're asking an animator about this? Like that's the profession that's gonna give you all of the info about this and make it correct.
@carsonhunt4642well for one it you chop it off it keeps doing things, there's even been cases of octopus arms continuing to hunt after being separated from the body, draging food into a mouth that isn't there
Ok so a bit of background
i am a 3D Modeler/Animator
i was once given a project to sculpt and animate the character
now the keypoint that the client needed was Realism
so i had to make it lifelike
15 Hours........for 15 Hours i tried mimicking a creature that has no bones and basically works like a Sentient Alien Blob Of Goo . within those hours one of they key things i learnt is that octopus like the Cartoons or as an Animated character is much better and less time consuming than trying to understand an alien morphology
and @carsonhunt4642
The proof is the literal fact that after getting an arm cut, the severed arm still manages to blend in and stay alive for almost an hour, this is not muscle spasms , its almost like an individual consciousness
in short the severed tentacle is now sentient
tho it cant feed itself (or anything in that matter) it will bide its time doing what a single copiousness with limited time would do
Survive
i dont think any other creatures in our planet other than squids and octopus have such an ability
(i may be wrong , we know more about space than we do our own oceans 🤷♂)
Honestly, her ability to think outside the box is commendable. Why take the chosen path when there's always another option
She's literally in a box.
@greenaum And you obviously can't think outside the box.
it was a joke
@jes928
and you missed the joke I think XD@jes928
@jes928you definitely can't think outside the box
the fact sashimi immediately went into squidward's house the moment she set tentacle in the tank is hilarious
(50 years later)
Scientists: How could these octopuses be able to get through all our complex traps?
Mark: No idea :|
octopi not octopusses
Cus octopus is smarter than the scientists? 😂
@Ueno69420 it comes from Ancient Greek so octopodes or octopuses are correct, the Latin octopi is incorrect
@xiphos5740 Technically, it is New Latin from Greek, and New Latin pluralizes like Latin, so all of the above are correct
@PlaylisterYT lebronzo is not funny 💀💀🙅♂🙅♂
I really think Mark should make Sashimi the mascot for Crunch Labs, even if she's been released, I think she represents everything that Crunch wants to represent, clever thinking, playfulness, a bit of sass, and ingenuity! An octopus is the perfect creature for something like this, and she's adorable and deserves to be remembered fondly for years to come!
NPC comments
I hope we get a Crunch Labs merch of her like there is of Phat Gus
Totally agree. She should be raised to Phat Gus’ level at least
what about Phat Gus?
That and multiple independent brains working and adapting together to achieve amazing results
It’s incredible how intuitively intelligent they are in such a short lifespan
It’s incredibly interesting that so much brainpower is in a “prey animal.” I know they are predators too but they live their lives assuming something is gonna eat an arm.
Thats so true, in 365ish days they learn all these amazing things.
@MaggiewarbucksBrainpower is a lot more useful for creature in the middle of the food web. Knowing when something is food or if it's death is very important, and requires a lot of intelligence to intuit.
Be glad they only live that short. if they had 50 years or more, they would have overtaken the planet already
@rocketman5004 🧐
タコに刺身って名前つけるのサイコパスすぎるw
Hey Mark, if you want to complete the “Land, Sea, and Air” Trifecta, you should do Ravens/Crows next. I’m sure you know, but they’re also incredibly intelligent.
Yess!
haha yeah but maybe trained hawks would be cool
ducks
the greatest animal

Imagine if he got an eagle
The tale this octopus will have to tell his friends is going to be unbelievable.

There you go. The plot for another Pixar movie.
Dudes gonna get eaten in 5 mins too comfortable and explorative
@ie995😐😐😐😐😐
Octopus: 'Human's cool! What can I help teach you?'
Humans: You pass through pvc, and we give you fish
Octopus: ..
I am Japanese.
I watched your video for the first time.
Honestly, I was moved by your video.
Not only was it entertaining to watch the intelligence and dexterity of octopuses, but the ecology and evolutionary mechanisms of octopuses were explained in a very easy-to-understand manner, and the composition of the video was reminiscent of a TV documentary to keep you entertained.
Also, personally, I'm very happy to see Japanese translations.
This sentence was written using Google Translate, so I'm not sure if it's conveyed accurately, but I'd like to continue watching your wonderful videos.
Thank you for a very enjoyable time!
こんにちは！現在、Google 翻訳を使用しています。あなたのコメントは非常に明確だったので、マークがそれを読んでくれることを願っていることを伝えたかったのです。動画クリエイターが時間をかけて自分の動画を誰でも理解できるようにするのは素晴らしいことです。
Google Translate is amazing. Your response was impeccable, perfect English!
Why@GVanArsdale
@xv9151why what?
@GVanArsdale wait until you find out bilingual people exist!
Having a pet octopus would be very cool
This video actually made my appreciation for octopi go from "They're alright" to "Welp, new favorite animal."
*Octopuses
@chs75 eh either works
@chs75 *Oucktoupieseres
same
Same! And weirdly enough I thought the way she moved around was kinda adorable
How does Mark make an octopus’s anime arc so entertaining and emotional, I will never know
one of the greatest characters I've seen in anime. 🤷♀️
It's not anime though, octopuses are in real life.

In ten years from now, we can thank Mark for giving us the Octopus Invasion as Sashimi's puzzle solving descendants attempt to colonize the surface world to find their adoptive ancestor and their next puzzle challenge.
Poetically at least; practically Lamarckian inheritance doesn't work.
Can’t wait
Этот комментарий выглядит как готовый сюжет для фильма фантастики! 😅))

Its 2025 now and considering the life span of an Octopus. We should give our condolences to Sashimi. RIP.
:(
rip
The fact that Octopus tentacles basically have minds of their own makes Doc Ock's tentacles going rogue a lot more sensical.
Octopus have arms, not tentacles :)
@nicklong2344 tomato tomato
@nicklong2344potato potato
Omg I’ve never heard of that before. Can you also tell me about mitochondria?
@nicklong2344they are tentacles
Calling an octopus 'sashimi' is like calling a horse 'glue'
"This is my son Longpig"
@ShawnLowerwtf 😂 what's THAT 😭
Or calling a pig 'bacon'.
or calling a cow "burger"
@pumpkinpie4823it is a slang term for human meat... 😅
there's an amazing book called the soul of an octopus where a researcher spends a few years with 5 or so different octopus, each of them had different personalities and mannerisms. Incredible creatures!!
Fish do too!
Thank you for the recommendation!
Thanks!!
One of my favorite books!
Y cual es ese libro?
名前が「刺身」なのヤバすぎる笑笑
In a few years Mark will have a whole pet Olympics with octopi for water sports, squirrels for backyard sports, and birds for air sports 😂
But are the birds gonna be raptors or corvids? Both seem to have their own brand of intelligence.
Or some parrots could have a singing competition like AGT or something
@TheDarkNerdcorvids would be the most interesting, if you were gonna do raptors, it would be hard to train them or have them do something similar to the squirrels and the octopus.
wait did he do crows??
@TheDarkNerd Why not both?
This was so interesting! I was sad when you said their lifespan was less than two years. You deserve all the subscribers you have . As a senior citizen I found this fascinating. Can’t wait to see what animal you introduce us to next. This also helps people to have respect for other creatures in this world.
My octopus teacher is a great movie if you want to see an octopus live in the wild
@SvetielkoVTme , thank you. I remember hearing about that movie and now I will watch it.
depends on the species but yeah. Even the bigger ones only live 8-12 years
i cried hard asf at the ending ngl@peri3818
I love octopuses, and their short lifespan is heartbreaking. If their lifespans were longer, and they didn't live in solitude, they would probably have conquered the world.
It's wild that you can just buy an octopus from a pet shop there. Now I wonder if there's a legend being passed down by a line of octopus about their ancestor who's been made to do puzzles by this strange land dwelling creature and being rewarded by a motherlode.
I was also like "waut, you can just BUY an octopus in America?" which made me really love that Mark brought her back to the sea 💙
Actual origin of Splatoon, maybe?
@TheFrenyou can’t usually. They went to somewhere specific. A lot of states don’t even allow exotic pets at all because people don’t know how to care for them or care to learn
No because at every generation all adults have died once the octopus is born or on the verge to and they have to learn everything on their own from scratch
you could say that they thought they participated in a SQUIDGAME. HAH, okay I'll leave.
Naming an octopus “sashimi” is like naming a pig “bacon”
true
like Chris P. Bacon 😂
So happy you released her, Octopus are so smart they need much more stimulation than us and a small tank is no where near enough
@Jes.E.S i love adorable octopuses so much. 🥺🥺 so intelligent and cute
Sashimi got eaten😂
Yall are more emotionally invested in this octopus than your own lives
@DrSwazzSigma
yo tambien
2 Mark uploads in a week.. It's a christmas miracle!

GG BOYZ
So this is my shoutout?

Must be the closest uploads in a LONG while!
I did not expect to be crying at the end of this octopus obstacle course video.
Get your test checked.
@UrbanDefenseSystemslol
I feel it coming on and I'm 2 minutes in.
Y'all either too emotional or I don't have a heart.
@canyoupoopLMAO I WAS GONNA CRY JNTIL I SAW THIS COMMENT 😭😭
Her choosing the Squidward house 😂
lol yea
In 30 years at this exact beach scientist will find super intelligent puzzle solving octopi
Sadly it's life span is only 1-2 Years
Otherwise known as normal octopi
@Hardik_Swagatoctopi plural, aka it's descendants
@brieoconnor9824that's not the plural of octopus, lol. Greek
@smnewstead4093 octopuses and octopi are both commonly accepted plurals, (I'm from the UK, Octopi is a bit more common in British English but both are fine). Octopodes in theory would be correct but linguistics is determined by usage, not etymology
Mark: wants to put Sashimi back into the ocean
Also Mark: Gives her 3lbs of shrimp
Delicioso
Got a problem with that?
@Lepidodendronn YEA HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF I RELEASED YOU INTO INTO YOUR NATURAL HABITAT?
@fizz7710 You mean if you took me out of my home and made me a permanent cast member of Naked & Afraid?
@fizz7710 i wouldnt like it bro but the fact that mark gived her shrimp before releasing her means shes likely to eat less of my brothers
I can't believe I didn't know how insanely cool the octopus is. This video was such a treat.
Look ‘my octopus teacher’, you will never eat octopus again
@victor5485 never wanted to try it because I found it kinda gross honestly, but now I won't just because of how sheerly awesome they are lol! 🐙❤
You might check out the movie, "My Octopus Teacher". It is beautifully mind-blowing.
This was a wholesome video. I’m rooting for Shashimi
Only Mark can make us watch an octopus do obstacle course for almost 20 mins and be sad when he released them!
what does this mean
@andrewm6788It means exactly what they said...
Wow, your generation is very concerning.
Umm?? Wouldn't anyone be invested in an octopus?? Maybe this is just you boo...
@WhiskeyToro you're literally on the same video
13:06 Squidward Getting Revenge On Mr Krabs After Underpaying Him 💀
Lmfao 💀
SHODDY!!! THERE'S AN OCTOPUS EATING A CRAB!!!
squids rule
Octopuses display their emotions with color. It’s great to see her go from pale to darkly colored in your early montage of introducing and getting to know her.
Octopi?
@NelsenBrocksit's all correct. Octopuses, octopi, and octopods. It's not originally an English word so translation can be whichever one
@NelsenBrocks both words are acceptable. People who make the octopi correction are overly pedantic.
And people who use words such as "Pedantic" are overly pretentious @pencilgoblin655
Deep on the internet there is a great video with a male showing friendly colours on the side facing a female and aggressive colours on the other side.

@finnmccool4943I’m pretty sure because sushimi means something like sushi in Japanese, so it’s funny to just randomly hear that, to them ^^
@hawavideouploaderyes! I have heard of a pig named Chris P. Bacon!🤣
having an octopus as a friend seems like the coolest thing in life
Ask the ones in the titan submersible that.
Having an octopus as food seems even cooler.
Im sad and guilty now😢@beggingbugger
OH DANG 4 LIKES IVE NEVER GOTTEN THAT MANY 😆
@beggingbugger chewey and tasteless
Yesterday, engineering. Today, biology. Never ceases to amaze me, Mark!
next up, plant science
He’s more of an engineer
Octopuses are frankly ridiculous in how smart they are.
This is like going back to science class, but 800% more fun 😎👌🏻
NPC comments
npc
maybe more fun but youre also learning 800% less
Alright your all being rude
What makes you think he's an npc
And im pretty sure this has the same amount of facts as a regular class
Let people appreciate others
Mark being this consistent scares me
NPC comments
@danalexander7131 you?
@danalexander7131 said the guy with the most NPC like comment ever.
It's the holiday season so makes sense. This is content creators time to shine. They get more money per video.
Why can’t mfs just watch a video and agree it was dope
For anyone wondering, the kind of octopus mark had was a California two-spot octopus
imagine if it was a Blue Ringed
ImAgInE If@magicpants145
I thought that it was a. Blue ringed octopus
@magicpants145why, what is so special about them, are they toxic?
@adityagoyal3491 They have tetrodotoxin in their venom, so yeah.
Mark seems like the kind of guy to own an octopus
It’s actually so unfathomably incredible how amazing octopi are… like they’re unbelievably clever and have so many tactics like flexibility or camouflage!!
These creatures should be protected at all costs, just like any…
And they all just learn it by themselves. Because the mother dies before her offspring is born, there is no 'cultural' way of relaying information, which has been hugely important for us to get where we are. We even see it in some of the great apes who use tools to get something done and teach it to their group mates. Who can imagine what incredible things octopi could do if they were able to teach the next generation. If they ever figure out, they might easily outsmart us.
I totally agree. I get so upset when I see them in restaurants or grocery stores.
The i plural rule doesn't apply to octopus, it gets treated with the es rule
@microska2656 It's a loanword, either is acceptable.
@Win7ermu7e So is octopodes, which is my personal favorite. Especially when someone says "It's octopi, not octopuses" and I get to be a petty dingus slapping back with "Octopodes numbnuts, it's Greek not Latin!"
Now she's going to be looking for a vault in the ocean the rest of her life.
Hzhahahah
this is like the funniest comment ))
The legendary vault of endless shrimp. It will become their ultimate goal .
All the other octopuses will sing songs of the Golden Shrimp Vault.
The dawn of the new Era of the octopus quest for the Holy shrimp grail! The journey begins
Naming her sashimi is like naming your kid cannibal food
or "long pork"
Or Soylen T Green
Or like naming your dog Dogmeat
Or an adorable lamb puppet Lambchop. Bothered me as a kid. Still does.
ive always hated stuff like that. Like when a restaurant that servs burgers has a pic of a happy cow on the wall , or a BBq place that has a happy pig servin up food
I got a lot of knowledge from this content, thank you!😊💗

Don’t be surprised when Sashimi gets confused by the lack of puzzle mazes leading to shrimp vaults.
No puzzles in the wild? Sounds like boredom to me :D
Yeah. Bored to DEATH
Прикинь, осьминог вернётся обратно в дом Марка
@dokinsking8219 Эта мысль пришла мне в голову! (Вините в плохой грамматике Google.)
Octopus are so smart that taking them out of a comfy safe home is kinda like kicking a human out of a comfy safe home
Да
Yeah the octopus probably became accustomed to living in captivity and just tossing her into the ocean is pretty mean tbh
@spaghettiboney he probably thought it was the coziest tide pool ever
Octopi
@TheEgginantYT incorrect, go to google
Why octopuses have neurons in their arms is because they have eight brains in their arms
If you back to that tidepool and wade in like you did, she will know your there and will come and visit you. Divers discovered this by making friends with octopuses and every time they returned to that area of water the octopuses would show up to see them after a short amount of time so you can go and see her again 😊
This has to be one of the best videos on the whole of the internet ! I hope sushimi is ok out there in the wild !
he should definitely go back and swim with her
If you haven't already, watch "My Octopus Teacher." Best nature documentary ever!
*You're
@chriswestring1974Thank you for you’re recommendation. I’m going to go and search for it now. I find these creatures fascinating and hope people realise that it’s time to stop eating such a majestic, intelligent and emotional animal xxx
@SpydersByteI agree, they remember people well and must be able to recognise a chemical when the person is In the water as the come out straight to them. They are way more intelligent that we know of and I think over time with more research’s we will find out a lot more incredible facts of this animal and what it’s truly capable off 🐙 ❤
It’s crazy how smart and talented Octopuses actually are. They’re such fascinating creatures.

LMAO
they'd get air to eat

SHHH! YOUR GIVING HIM IDEAS!
I didn’t realize how underrated an octopus was until now. Thanks Mark
Yeah, no, they’re scary amart. They are undeniably sentient
Underrated? 🤦 Guess dolphins are the same for you too.
aint no way bro said octopus is underrated
We're looking at Chimp Levels of intellect.
totally ! i would love to see more squirel and octopus now !
I love the way she sat there and thought a bit before completely nailing it and then her psyching herself up, amazing little thing.
I didn't know that octopus was a cold water animal
I think the true test should've been a bunch of live shrimp. Make sure she can actually hunt still. (To be clear, I mean instead of the pile of dead shrimp and crustaceans, it should've been a bunch of live shrimp in the vault. This way, even if some escape, you get confirmation she can hunt.)
I was waiting for this Karen comment who would question the nasa engineer who years working on rover that’s now on mars 😂 🤡
a nasa engineer isnt a zoologist
@bertoguerrero4053you've been on the internet a little too much
"i think" bruh who asked you what you thought
@bertoguerrero4053i dont think you know what a karen is, this guys comment is clever and interesting, it doesnt sound like a "karen" complaining, it just sounds like someone interested in octopuses and their capabilities
The fact that the octopus exactly went into squidwards house was top notch!!
Fax it knew
Evolution really made a brutal choice with octopus lifespan. But in that short life they do leave squirrels in the dust.
Imagine if they could learn for 50 years. What could they achieve.
@elmojackson6621they’d probably wage war on humans tbh. There’s a reason they’re nerfed
Чо
Time is relative
@Mr.Bigglz6 humans are waging war on humans. We're just waiting for the robot uprising at this point
El pulpo tiene un coeficiente intelectual de 73
i love the octopus because it totally challenges what we think of as "intelligence". in scifi we always see fully fledged alien species that have language and fully developed senses of self, which mimics our own intelligence. but when you look at how smart octopi are, totally lacking anything we'd perceive as self aware or critical thinking skills, we really open the door as to what a truly "intelligent" alien species might look like.
"blindsight" by peter watts covers this as a theme -- that you could have highly intelligent behaviour without requiring "sentience" or "self-awareness". it considers our (human) sentience an accident.
True!

Sashimi is AMAZINGLY intelligent. It’s such a joy watching what you come up with as the obstacles. Your narrative speed as well as how you explain what’s happening and why. It’s a great way to review our past science classes. Happy New Year and have a prosperous year.
Didn't think I would be crying over an octopus but here we are. I hope he lives a long, happy and healthy life back in the ocean
@maeganlozano7058 yeah I can relate that😭
E incrível como ele pensa em cada enigma para o polvo resolver😅
Cephalopods are known for being super intelligent, and she’s no exception :)
@maeganlozano7058yeah, but there might be a plot twist... some other hunters might hunt her again and she would end up on someone's plate instead of staying as a beloved pet. But oh well, I hope that was not the case
It’s kinda cool how the turtle and human arms look nearly exactly the same
17 minutes of video, I'm already missing Sashimi. Such a crazy story!
Well that octopus got eaten by a predator 5 mins after he put in back in the ocean. It's dead
How do you? know?
@richardsewell8657u forget octopus are intelligent that was the whole point of the video
Same here!! 🥹
Had no idea how interesting octopus were. Mark's videos are always entertaining and educational.
yeah
It's not just the "interesting" part. The part that's surprising is if you'll check intelligent species and how close they are to human (monkeys, pigs, cows, dolphins or crows), it's like we are close to anything but octopusses.
Its a rabbit hole for sure.
And as said, its 100% alien and what actually got me interesting in both diving and ufo's in the first place. Im sure they are 1000* more intelligent than humans and theyre just solving puzzles for our entertainment.
It's admirable that you released her. But I also think she would have enjoyed living with you and the creativity you design for her. There is something to be said about stable meals and protection. I hope she is safe out there!
captivity is never an option for an intelligent animal like that!
i think i heard plant vs zombie Music, "Graze the roof" ig
@jokybonesyes. Golden cage is still a cage
bro the course you got for the octopus most humans couldnt figure out
I can't believe she figured out the button so fast. That was the only part of your maze I thought would be "Unfair"
It makes me wonder if she can form logical connections between objects of the same color: "door red, button red, therefore doing something to button will do something to door." If so, that's incredible.
I didn't expect it to be very hard for it since it's very curious and just interacts with everything
@misikaro Like point-and-click adventure games, just try clicking on everything first :D
I thought she would identify the red door with the red button, What she did? Is simply amazing!!!
I learned more in a 15 minute Mark Rober video than I did in 3 years of biology class in school 😂 it's incredible to see how adaptive yet humorous these creatures are
Yep
So ture 😂
I thought it was fascinating to hear that it took her about a month to train on all the obstacles. I'd love to see more footage of her exploring and figuring out each section and how that process worked - did you introduce them independently in her tank or put her in the obstacle course for training sessions?
I assume that she just took her time and then went back to her tank when she was done
Yeah if it wasn't for that one line at 14:44 where he says it took about a month, the power of editing would appear as if she did it all in one sitting. Impressive, but still a little deceiving.
It’s like a quantum computer, exploring different routes at the same time
Can we take a second to appreciate how ripped Mark is.
the dude is brain AND brawn haha
@pvic6959 and beauty, Mark is the whole survivor tribe
Bruh look at those abs
@Techtinkerer3D Yea bro
there’s a lot of ab crunching at crunch labs
I went from wanting a pet octopus to learning so many cool facts about them, then to being sad they have such a short lifespan. I wasn't expecting that roller coaster. So glad you released her ❤
Octopus taking notes while mark is explaining to us how each puzzle is solved.
😅😅😅😅😂😂😂❤
For me this video was uploaded 2 years ago... So maybe sashimi is no more. Hope you lived well.
I was so engrossed in this! I learned so much and became emotional at the end. I can not wait to learn more about them. Thank you so much for this fascinating plethora of information regarding this distinct creature.
I cried at the end 😢. It always hits me hard at how short of a lifespan they have.
If they had a longer lifespan they'd definitely be running the world
You should watch "My Octopus Teacher", a 2020 documentary film. I bet you'll love it.
I love that Mark is now expanding to more branches of science. He used to be mostly physics with a touch of chemistry and squirrels, but now we get the three main branches of science more often.
I wanted to study all 3 branches but it would take too much time so I just decided to focus on the squirrels branch
Ah yes my favourite branch of science, squirrels.
ah yes, my favorite branch of science, squirrels
It seems like Mark is starting to get a frequent upload schedule. I’m not complaining.. this is amazing.
2 episodes in 1 week
GTX BOYS
Definitely
Just like MrBeast
Maybe
Over 1.4m in only 3 hours is insane, you go mark
1.9 in 4
2 in 5
What is this auto audio translation? Is this new? For big YT channels? Now I need to change audio back to english here at mark's channel every time.
@fischris Yupp, somewhat new feature currently in beta for select channels. And yes, it's a bummer not able to configure it to keep certain languages untranslated :/
The Deep Power
She so cute. her inteligence , her curiousosity , she is an AMAZING octo i've ever seen
I'm a Japanese high school student. This video was very interesting and the explanations were logical and easy to understand. Thank you for the exciting time you gave me. I hope the octopus is happy.
Ah, the Asian. Another majestic creature, and the octopus' only natural enemy
@nathanfuentes4031I'm an Asian and I never had them 😅
@kalie4541I've had octopus before, but got food poisoning shortly afterward.
こんばんは、本当に面白い動物ですね
Did you learn English??? Or have you grown up learning English as you grew?
The funny thing is that the octopus went straight for squidwards house
