  • The octopus is without a doubt one of the most fascinating, intelligent and all around amazing animals on the planet. I would not even be surprised to find out that they aren't from this planet at all, they are like alien lifeforms. But is the octopus a good pet? And is the octopus the best pet cephalopod for you?

    Where I used to live in California, the Monterey Bay Aquarium had an issue with power shorting out in a whole section of the building. Turned out that the octopus hated the light above his enclosure and decided to spit water at it until it turned off. This occurred several times.

    My boss at the zoo used to work at a small aquarium, and has told a story about their octopus. They had two problems happening at the same time:
    1. Rock crabs, in the tank above the octopus, were disappearing.
    2. The octopus wasn't eating.
    They put up a video camera, and turna out everynight the octopus was escaping its tank, eating rock crabs, and returning to its own tank.

  • @LordofFullmetal
    @LordofFullmetal 3 года назад +151

    What amazes me about that octopus story isn't that it was breaking out to eat - it's that it was breaking out to eat, and then GOING BACK after. They weren't finding it in the other tank, because it was consistently returning to its original tank. Like it was totally chill with living in the enclosure, it just wanted a midnight snacc. That thing was going to a sushi restaurant and then walking home.
    Octopuses are so smart that it's actually kind of scary.

      That seems to be the consensus from a lot of these comments and stories I've seen: the octopus doesn't hang around. It leaves its enclosure, enters another, EATS the inhabitants and then returns to its own. I wonder if it's a territorial thing, in the sense that it keeps going back to its own? Because nothing is stopping it from just staying in the other enclosures. I wonder what the reason is that they go back. Maybe not the right water conditions?

    Over sharing time! I had struggles with drug addictions in the past, and specifically my jam was psychedelics (LSD, DMT etc) my facination was always "seeing something not of this world" or "experiencing stuff not meant for a human to experience" - all lofty ideas brought on by severe toxication and dehydration from the drugs effect. BUT when I got sober, animals like the octopus and cuttlefish where one of the first "real" things I saw that could compete (and because of my limited creativity for things that are not real) even SURPASS what I had seen while under the influence. So in many ways, octopi and cuttlefish "saved me" by showing me that theres nothing LSD can show me that is more "trippy" than whats already alive on this earth! I should really get a cuttlefish tattoo to commemorate that!

    The story that the octopus escaping to eat things in other tanks is incredible for many reasons, but the most amazing thing to me is that it would go back to its tank. Logically, you’d think it would stay in the tank where it found food, but it went back anyways. Why? Did it know it would get “in trouble” and want to avoid arousing suspicion? It seems that might honestly be the case, as it would wait until night time to go on these adventures. Honestly just unbelievable.

    I had a pet blue ringed octopus for a short while. Very interesting pet and made short work of mantis shrimps and crabs. The crabs figured out pretty quickly who their tank mate was and would often turn up at the swimming pool after walking across the yard.
    The octopus was released when we had to go away for a few weeks for work and went back where we caught her, no doubt with stories to tell the others.

    I had an octopus once, and I would give a higher score in handleability. Octopuses don't use their beaks, like, ever. Unless you really are scaring them, and completely and repeatedly ignore the very obvious signals they send about them being annoyed, being bitten is basically impossible. I myself was "tasted" many times by my octopus, but he only used his radula to do that. He basically licked me. Ok, well, the tongue of an octopus is abrasive, so he was actively trying to eat my hand, and it did scratch my skin a little bit... but a cat playing with your fingers can do much more damage than that. And even if you were bitten, the only octopuses with a medically significant venom are blu-ringed octopuses.
    I would say they are much easier to handle than any aquarium fish, as, you know... at least octopuses *can* be handled, while most fish are just there to be watched.

      No need, mantis shrimp are pretty easy to care for, just the same requirements as every other saltwater critter, except it's an absolute killing machine that will kill and eat anything in its tank and trying to handle it in any way seriously might end up with broken finger bones & nasty compound fractures.
      No I am not joking, of the two kinds they both use their claws, one to pinch the other kind to punch, to excert the energy of roughly a .22 caliber bullet. Due to the nature of the claw though, it's arguably a lot more damaging since a clean passthrough is very very unlikely, due to the mantis shrimp probably thrashing about while repeatedly "shooting" you.
      If you want a cool salt water shrimp, a pistol shrimp is a safer, more sociable alternative. Could even pair it up with a shrimp goby to see a cool symbiotic relationship where the shrimp digs out a hidey hole for the two, while the goby holds a vigilant watch for safety since pistol shrimp (contrary to mantis shrimp) don't see very well.

    When I was a kid living on an Air Force base in Hawaii I got to hold and release a wild octopus. The lifeguard on the beach found a fairly small octopus stranded in a shrinking tidepool he caught it and was showing the kids on the beach. I was the eldest kid present so he let me hold it and entrusted me with releasing it back into the ocean. It was an orangey-brown color and about a foot and a half in size. Holding one was an amazing experience and what you said about them holding you was definitely the truth though that one was extremely gentle. Even after I got it back in the ocean it took it's time checking me out before it slowly wandered off.

    Some corrections:
    1. Octopodes do have a rudimentary shell (a small "bone"), just like snakes have legs.
    2. Octopodes probably DO see in color. Instead of utilizing color-sensitive cells, they use diffraction. Their W-shaped eye causes diffraction of light near the edges and different colors diffract a bit differently, allowing octopodes to see the colors of objects without having any color-sensing cells.

    I worked at a pet store years ago. Octopuses were the new popular but ridiculous pet to have. We got some, each one was in a tiny plastic egg like candy comes at Easter. Here is what I consider important to know. THEY ARE ESCAPE ARTISTS!! It was fascinating to see those little Hiudinis at work! The egg wasn't even a slight challenge for them. Getting them out from the salt water filtering system on the other hand..(.or 8 hands if you like) without killing them, was. It was my week to clean all the aquariums... all 60 of them. No sooner had I grabbed 2 slimy lil escape artists and put them back in the tank(I didn't even care about those stupid eggs by then, I'd just plop them back into their "home" and start cleaning again and SLURP I could hear one landing on the floor. I was AMAZED they didn't die on impact. Then I thought about it.... they have no bones to break and they are rubbery.... what ever it was besides being another mystery, the could take a fall of about 3.5 feet without turning into slimy yet adorable Cephalopod (I know that looks wrong but it's right). They are abundant here in Washington state where the record holder 🐙 Giant Northwest octopus hails from. I was certified as a Scuba diver in the mid-80s. You must go through a few tests out in open water. Our instructor knew a great place to take us to become certified. Whitney Island had a beautiful jetty. Down we went about 15 feet and Bud sort of patted the wall of life and OUT POPPED A FREAKING GIANT OCTOOUS!! He/she recognized Bud and the show began! She was all over him, "hugging" him and playing with his mask. You don't want water getting into your mask under water. It's a pain in the butt to get it back to normal. "Shelly" obviously knew this and they started playing Tug-of-war with his mask. He would hug her and she would sit on his head with all of her arms all over him. Mind you now, this is an octopus similar to the one behind Clint but Shelly was a bit larger. Bud named her "Shelly" because when he first met her, she was out of her den and was using shells as her "Costume" to hide from Baracuda. It was an unforgettable moment in time. Sadly, octopus only live a short amount of time anywhere from 2 to 3-ish years. In captivity they do a little better but not much. Bud said Shelly was probably in her 2nd year when he met her. He even had her picture on his desk.☺🐙
