    My grandpa had a 250 gallon reef aquarium. He went to a Japanese seafood place and saw this little octopus in an aquarium. He ended up buying him and saving him from someone's dinner. Otto stayed alive for about 30 years. He wanted for nothing and enjoyed the puzzles grandpa made with plastic tubes, mason jars full of crabs and others. I swear Otto watched tv lol. He would come out every now and again go to the other tank and help himself to a clown fish which made him more intriguing. Grandpa died and Otto died a few hours later. Otto was buried with Grandpa

    00:49 - The Octopus grabbing the divers finger to help push was mind blowing. Then when it swam away to face the diver and came back to help push, that was just about the most adorable thing I have ever seen. The fact that the Octopus was able to figure out that a much larger creature could move large objects, and took advantage of the opportunity is incredible.

    This reminds me of the incredible 2020 Netflix documentary named My Octopus Teacher. A lovely, poignant story about a guy who free-dived down into an underwater South African kelp forest (near Cape Town, SA) where he befriended an octopus. It was fascinating to see the development of their relationship over a year until the octopus mated, laid numerous eggs and naturally died. That part was super sad. When their bond had developed and he would visit (almost daily), the octopus would occasionally lay against his chest to cuddle for several minutes. He got to see her live, eat, and defend herself from sharks. The doc won a well-deserved Academy Award.

      Oldest known octopus has lived 328 million years ago, they are an amazingly well evolved specimen that outlasted 99% of all the species that ever lived. Perhaps that relatively shorter lifespan is the result of millions of years of evolution and not something to be sad about.

      @@onatgomceli6950evolution is not exactly something we should treat as good or welcoming. It’s a brutal process. And shorter lifespan creatures do tend to be better suited to survive because they create offspring faster than animals that take potentially decades to have offspring. All those years in between come with great risks.
      But again, the fact that shorter lifespans are more suited for the survival of the overall species is not a good argument for saying shorter lives aren’t sad.

      Our Creator also has emotions. And our actions and even our experiences affect him.
      “How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness And made him feel hurt in the desert! 41 Again and again they put God to the test, And they grieved the Holy One of Israel.”
      Psalm 78: 40
      “[He] regretted that he had made men on the earth, and his heart was saddened.”
      Genesis 6: 6
      “During all their distress it was distressing to him. And his own personal messenger saved them. In his love and compassion he repurchased them, And he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old. 10 But they rebelled and grieved his holy spirit....Isaiah 63: 9,10

Octopi is the oldest plural of octopus, coming from the belief that words of Latin origin should have Latin endings. Octopuses was the next plural, giving the word an English ending to match its adoption as an English word. Lastly, octopodes stemmed from the belief that because octopus is originally Greek, it should have a Greek ending. 📖

    The human is nearly as remarkable as Eggbert. Amazing intuition & gentleness. Eggbert knew this was a friend-human. So lovely 🥰

    One of the best experiences I had while diving was having an Octopus be friendly to me!

    This is so touching. To have any animal trust you is special but for a wild animal to choose to befriend you is a gift. This is beautiful and I wish Eggbert a long and wonderful life with his friend 🤗♥️🐙

      Another commentor said they only live 1-2 years. I looked it up, it's true for this small one.

      @@user-pn9db8sm5w True, it's sad. Can you imagine what they could accomplish if they could live to be a hundred years old? Instead they only have 1-2 years to get as smart as they can. This one was fortunate to have pleasant interactions with a human become part of his world view.

    I cannot explain the fascination I have with animals, they're just... insane. So multifaceted, we think we know everything then we learn new things everyday. The earths just amazing.
