- In the depths of our seas lives a strange creature with two enormous eyes, a soft boneless body, nine brains, three hearts, eight legs and a tearing double beak.
More than just a mollusk, the octopus is probably one of the smartest beings on the planet.
But just how smart is it?
For ten years, Antonio Cribeiro and his team have been studying octopuses' behavior in a bid to answer this question.

"Even a chimpanzee hasn't solved this test." I'm not surprised a chimp couldn't fit inside that flask.
Kinda what I thought 🧐
I know 😁
Do chimps even eat crabs?
If there was a banana, my guess would be that a chimp would just smash the flask and chow down!
Chimp would just smash it

The octopus probably thinks we’re a bunch of idiots who can’t open a jar
😂
“geez, another jar?! how many times do I have to tell you humans that it’s, ‘righty tighty and lefty loosey’”
- the octopus
Yep...& it would be Correct.
"The octopus has been studying us"
*cuts to an octopus holding a pen and clipboard with glasses
😂
Imagine the horror of that crab going through
Consumed by Cthulhu.🐙
Jepp... exactly my thoughts too !!!
I feel bad for the crab. You could see it was scared at the very end.
Nobody comments on their ability to breathe as well on land as in the sea. Such amazing creatures.
I didn’t know they could breath on land until watching this video,
You know that crab is panicking big time when the octo wrapped around that jar
It is intelligent enough for me not to eat them.
The amazement of watching the octopus solving his problem is dulled by, the agony of watching a trapped crab, watching and waiting for his demise.
Guy came into my pet store, trying to scam me out of my stock of goldfish. Turns out it was 60 octopi in a trench coat.
Hahaha. Good stuff.
@@karlbjorkquist7489 I don't think he's joking, very in character for them.
I believe an octopus is the closest thing to an extraterrestrial we will ever meet
I think that would be the mantis shrimp. That looks way more alien.
ever meet? bold statement
@@AdrianCHOY Not really...it resembles a praying mantis.
There's nothing like Cephalopods.
@@shanelarsen695 think so? If something is smart enough to have the means to get here, they’d be smart enough to know to stay WAY away from us. Look at how people treat each other. It’s horrifying. And we treat animals even worse.
@@ChaoticNeutral89 Its like screaming in the jungle. Sending signals and probes out into space you do not know if a literal Jaguar walks out. Jaguars dont care about how humans treat each other or any of that non sense, they are superior predators that will kill you. Who knows whats out there its not always some hyper intelligent friendly thing, thats crazy to think given the way nature is structured.
“Even chimpanzees were unable to solve this problem” I’m not surprised, how could a chimp fit its body into that flask whilst underwater? Lol wtf
XDXD
unfrotunately the chimp drowned
They did it with a jar outside of water
I’m surprised the chimp didn’t just break the glass.
A chimpansee can just break the glass
never eating octopus again.
That was my decision when I finally met one a few years ago. Octopus was one of my favourite starters, now I feel awful about it
I’ve never thought about eating one. I don’t really eat seafood due to all the toxic chemicals dumped in our oceans. Some countries are worse than others but we’ve *all contributed* to this problem and some continue making it worse
@@ReiverBlue1971 I feel bad about it, but so long as I know I'm not eating one I've befriended, well...such is nature, food is food, and they're delicious
What is more interesting about their intelligence which no one talks about is their ability to have perception of their surrounding environment and has cognitive reasoning into changing into various colors and textures to either blend in to the surrounds to hunt or escape. That is a cognitive decision based on its own perception of the current situation it is in at one time. Meaning apart from wanting sustenance like any living organism its makes choices based on outcomes rather than instinct
And yet sick humans still horribly slaughter these creatures to eat.. eat raw sometimes...😢😢
@@billsauer3164 Yep. I made a conscious effort to never eat that again after I was made aware of how intelligent these magnificent beings are. I feel bad that I ate a brother earthling.
Dane, you to smart for your own good. That wont get the founds to keep researching going.
I find it mind boggling that people believe an accident over time designed this creature. The complexity is proof it was designed by a creator.
@@spikenomoon first YOU MUST PROVE the existence of a "creator" Then you have to provide evidence to support your claim that this "creator" designed it. Show us the difference between something designed by some creator and something not. I highly recommend you take some courses regarding evolution. It would definitely help you not come off as a resounding arrogant ignoramous. Something that comes way too easy with theists. You clearly demonstrate this.
Anyone else feel kinda bad for the crab? Like it can see it's predator outside the glass just trying it's hardest to get in and murder it. lol
Yeah..
Same man.....
I felt they could’ve used a dead crab that’s still safe for octopus to eat, maybe a defrosted one from the seafood market…
No, not really. I'd feel bad if it was literally tortured, but i don't think crabs have the cognition required to view this situation as psychological torture, like a person would.
It. Is. Nature. Do y'all eat meat? You wouldn't want to know what they do to it before it gets to you.
Ok....how pliable is their brain? I swear if I had to smush my head through that space I'd be a lot less intelligent 😂
Octopuses can fit through any hole larger than their beak-so, very pliable.
Also, much of their “brain” (neurons) is actually in their tentacles, about 2/3 of them. The rest are in a doughnut-shaped brain that wraps around their esophagus in their head.
Make sense because their brain is actually located between their eyes and the head like thing you see is where its digestive system and kidneys are located
Also, they have NINE brains.... not just one.
@@jeremymiller9582has to be no smaller than their eye
"Even chimpanzee's were unable to solve this problem"
Wow wtf the chimpanzee's didn't squeeze themselves into the flask? What a surprise!
An octopus helped tutor me to pass differential equations in college
Processing all that sensory information through their arms must have done wonders in growing their intelligence and cognition.
Just imagine if we weren't here and they would have a few thousand (or million) years to evolve. This is some alien sci-fi movie level stuff.
@drstrangelove77 they likely wouldnt get much farther than they already have, perhaps communities and tribes but all underwater its hard for softbodied animals to have any hold over land, the land on earth is always either a kingdom of the vertabrates or kingdom of the arthropods, with softbodied worms and molluscs almost never having any ecological reign.
I developed a fascination to these wonderful creatures I never knew they were such interesting animals until a year or so ago I wouldn't mind having one as a pet but they don't live long and I think for such an intelligent creature it needs to be in it's natural environment
Right, I was just thinking how wonderful a pet octopus would be, but nature is (sadly for me) what's best.
But it would be awesome to make a little octopus obstacle course or something, somehow.
I am amazed that the Octopus knew it was a Right hand thread & not a Left hand thread, otherwise he would never have got it open, just tighter!
I was just thinking that, "How'd he know it was lefty-loosey righty-tighty?" Then I was like, "Wait, is that righty-loosey lefty-tighty? How'd he know THAT!?" lol
50/50 chance
Just incredible how intelligent they really are.
Smart as a dog?

Was it the actual pilot, or just the co-pilot?

They’re such amazing animals. Probably my favorite sea creature.
quickly becoming one of my fav creatures. they're actually so cute.
but not if U are stuck in jar with it
They don't live that long. Hope they run their tests quickly and free those guys.
I wish the people i work with were as smart as octopuses
I guarantee you there are a TON of screwtop jars in nature hahaha
Such intelligent Octopuses must feel so helpless on dining tables. 😢
The biggest hurdle facing the octopus is that they taste so much better than squid. 😎
poor bloody crab, must have been horrifying
😂😂😂😂
@@billsauer3164 😂
Perhaps, but crabs are a major part of most octopuses' diets. This happens all the time in the wild.
Don't worry , these people would be horrified one day.
@@Xbalanque84 See a lot of crabs in flasks and jars in the wild eh?
AI+ octopuses in aquariums= Checkmate humans
This will be our end,😅 🐙🦑🌎
Calm, composed, smart, shape shifting, adaptative, i wouldn't mind if my boss was an octopus
It may not be a flask, but im pretty sure in nature there are times when the prey can't or won't come out from between rocks or debris, so the octopus has to go in.
Exactly. This kind of videos are for those the "wow!" in "got talent" style on whatever!
The octopus stayed in the sardine trap because it may have figured sardines were drawn to it and didn't register that humans put it there. It was waiting for more
Many years ago, when I was a college student, I had a pet octopus that helped me with my Calculus assignments. 😎👍

Netflix has (had) a great movie on a friendship between a diver and an octopus.
Seen it as well. It's very cool!
I'd love to know the title of this movie.
@@gustavusthoren7112 If my memory hasn't totally failed me, I think it was "My Octopus Teacher". (Yep, just checked. It's still up too.) I agree with Brennan & Shane, well worth watching.
@@markwallace1727 Thanks a lot!
Octopus is the closest I've considered alien visitors.
I don't think the small opening is a new problem solved. I figure it hunts animals that are used to hide out in small areas, where 'normal' larger predators can't reach.
The novel thing here is that the animal couldn't have gotten there without help, but the problem in itself is nothing new for the octopus.
yeah, some other comment said that they use their tentacles to get to clams and it's similar to the jar. The video said that this is a problem they've never seen before and now that just sounds like some press statements. I was scrolling over the comments because I was skeptical and thanks for saying this in my biology textbook though I,C in a diagram of their nervous system and it is complex relatively to other organisms. relative to other animals they also perform complex tasks. Didn't state what tasks but this bio textbook is used in many AP bio classes, called Campbell biology. anyways, at least this video had some really cool shots of octopuses dynamically fitting into small openings relative to their size😮
Octopuses are super intelligent. They have eight brains & three hearts, know how to build houses and shelters, can communicate with humans, and change shape & color to disguise themselves from predators. If the earth was fully covered with water and apes didn't evolve years ago, i think octopuses would.
Poor crab, like a goat staked out to catch a dragon or a tyrannosaurus.
Or 'me' (I could catch that goat😅)!
🐐😋🤤
I agree... that poor crab was tortured waiting to see when he'd meet his doom. 😳🥺😢
@@PADS62 oh cry me a river
@@Human_01 You no nothing about goats if you think you could catch one, at least unarmed.
@uxdecipher1724
I'm crying Laughing at your sorry, I have no compassion for anything, a$$! 😁
man, i just felt bad for the crab while watching this entire video lmao
They are super intelligent, they watch, wait and think before they act...we could learn lots from them
The kind of intelligent beings that might live on another planet as we humans do here on Earth.
Octopuses have DNA they are definitely not aliens
That crab in the jar was probably thinking: "I sure hope that's a stupid octopus, and not a smart one, like the one that got Larry yesterday." Crabs have feelings too, you know. The crab's family is probably still waiting at home for Daddy to come through the front door with some tasty seaweed, and a bug, for dessert. Sorry kids, but Pop was part of a cruel experiment, so no dinner tonight.
The interesting part of sensors is that you can visualize by touching so it means you can see by touuching
That was a really cool video and very smart animals indeed and I couldn't get over how he clicked when he solved problem number two ,can't be taught coz it's already there ❤
It should be illegal to kill octopi, especially also since there's no easy way to do it, so they're basically always dismembered alive.
I will not eat squid or octopus (calamari) because it seems so wrong to kill them. Breaks my heart to think of them dying prematurely; they are so amazing.
Big ones are scary and a fight for your life if they grab you. My boss from Taiwan said his father had one grab him when he was in waist deep low tide waters. Only way he could get away from it, he was able to free a hand, reach his knife and started cutting it.
Said it was very strong, but what was worse was if you got something free, it was hard not to get immediately grabbed again.
They are just fascinating!!! Thank you for the video!!!
Problem solving, intuitive, task oriented.. just extraordinary.
Such an amazing creature, im always fascinated at any footage that involves an octopus
In an experiment, an octopus couldn't reach in and pull a crab out, so it climbed in, ate the crab and then climbed out. They say this shows intelligence, which clearly octopus have much of, but did the octopus factor in that it would be larger after eating the crab which could mean it might get itself stuck inside? I mean let's be real here, if a cat has 9 lives then an octopus has more. It's body is kinda fool-proof and allows for it to make mistakes. Imagine if it killed the crab and then pushed it out first before exiting to ensure it was small enough to get out. That would be some high intelligence right there.
They can fit through holes smaller than the size of a quarter.... it ain't getting stuck. Period. Unless you trap it in a penny.... good luck🖖🏾
I think an octopus tentacle is more sensitive and agile than a human hand.
its also got its own part of the brain, meaning each arm is like its own sub-octopus - a subpus? lol
You can see how they wiggle around, thats becuse each arm is doing stuff on its own the head is just were it all gets coordinated
Rest in peace, Mr. Crab... It's a cruel world.
It is a fascinating look at one of the most mysterious and fascinating creatures on Earth. 😍
In the 1970s I was watching Jacques Cousteau. They were estimating that an octopus has the intelligence equal to that of a dog. The comment was made in amazement. I guess that even at that, they underestimated the octopus 's intelligence.
i say u should build an elevator with a joy stick to see if they can figure out the elevator for food. then make a car with joy stick and let them drive on the floor.
They've taught a goldfish how to drive! Check it out on RUclips!
This absolutely proves that an octopus is smarter than a politician🐙😂 Great video👍👍👍

These are beautiful creatures and this video is very interesting. Proves their intelligence. I'd love to see one in the ocean.
There is a RUclips channel I've found recently called YBS Youngbloods. It's an Australian guy who is basically the modern day Steve Irwin, running around the wild nature showing us in high quality all of the incredible animals in the ocean and along the coast.
It truly is amazing. Your comment made me think of him and I'm going to go watch him now :) The other day I watched him find some blue ringed octopus and give us a really awesome look at them in their native habitat.
Let me know what you think!!
@@gaiaconnectionsaustralia modern day steve irwin wtf how do you even compare those 2 hes just on the ocean bro and making catch and cook 🤣🤣🤣
@@Kado1609 that's not all he does! He is showcasing our gorgeous nature, just like Steve Irwin did; and his passion is unmatched
@@gaiaconnectionsaustralia alot of passionate people out there my friend i respect you for being a fanboy of him but hes still not comparable to Steve Irwin.. all kids in alot of countries knew steve Irwin not many kids knows this guy not even close
@@Kado1609 Steve was unique like Bob Ross was unique, but times were also different back then. There can't be another Steve Irwin, the way we watch TV now makes that impossible. I don't really know if Steve could have survived this climate. He was a wild man..he'd have a hard time even though he was amazing and magnetic on camera. He helped raise some great kids though and they're helping to carry the torch. I think Steve's timing, when he hit the scene, was probably perfect. So many greats couldn't make it in this environment. The Discovery channel, History channel, Travel channel are NOTHING like they used to be. It's a damn tragedy.
Never tire of watching Octopi solve a problem
Bruh it's like Finding Dory all over again with the octopus crawling from one tank to another😂
Every video about octopus intelligence. Opens jar. Tadaa.
Yeah def not first time the octopus opened the jar.
Such amazing creatures
Uniquely awesome , my fav... 🐙
Love your sensibility
Unscrewing a jar lid is a trick I've seen octopuses successfully accomplish many times. I'm puzzled why these scientists are so engaged.
Cool to see the octo just break the flask
"Honey, can you open this jar for me?"
"Do I LOOK like an octopus?"
No crabs were harmed in the making of this film.*
* Apart from the ones that were eaten by an octopus.
As a lamprey, I can tell you that while octopi are good with getting lids off jars - most of them are bad with money.

3:02 The Facehugger, scientifically referred to as Manumala noxhydria and labeled as "Stage 1" Xenomorph by Weyland-Yutani researchers (or "Stage 2" by other sources), is a parasitic form of the Xenomorph XX121 species. It emerges from an Ovomorph and represents the second phase in the Xenomorph's lifecycle. Its sole purpose is to implant a Chestburster within a living host organism through their mouth. Lacking offensive capabilities, except for the ability to expel acid primarily for accessing hosts rather than for attack, Facehuggers rely on stealth, surprise, or the immobilization of their victims by another assailant to accomplish implantation. Interestingly, a Facehugger perishes shortly after fulfilling its task.
They also hv personalities.
I bet that crab is freaking out
I wonder if humans are even qualified to judge the intelligence of the octopus. Do we truly understand them enough?
What kind of question is that? We can only do what we can do and are going to try regardless. You should know by now that being qualified doesn't stop people from doing, saying, or thinking.
Do we understand them enough? That question just kills me? That is. Just? The dumbest question I could ever think of. Do we understand ourselves enough? What's enough?
