Friendly giant Pacific octopus

  • This octopus was out hunting and had just recently caught a crab. After exploring the camera's lights, it swam off a short distance. I had always wanted to feel an octopus' suckers, so I removed my glove and let the tentacles latch onto my hand. At first the sensation was much stronger than I had anticipated. The octopus seemed to show curiosity at this point and kept trying to place more arms onto me. As you can see, it seems much more interested in my bare hand than any of my dive gear. Because these octopus have a ripping, crushing beak like a parrot, I decided it was safer to not let the octo get too friendly. I'd hate to be 'the guy who got bit by an octopus' although, it probably would have made me a lot more money.

      I could be wrong, but I think that non-apex predatory animals are highly empathetic by nature. Being able to interpret the mindset of prey likely makes them more effective predators, while interpreting the mindset of their own potential predators could keep them off the menu. I also believe that people may be losing the ability to empathize because our developments in farming, language, etc. lessen our need for such interpretation, but I digress. My rant is over. Such an amazing creature.

      That very well could be. But perhaps it’s also just reacting to the movements defensively. That’s a big octopus sure, but the diver is big too and perhaps it doesn’t want to get into a fight it couldn’t win. We will probably never know. That’s the real shame of it. It is cool that it took interest in him though. Skin contact like that is how they taste and smell. The hand is not part of the octopus’s diet so it didn’t want to eat him, but it prolly woulda enveloped him for a bit to try and find out more. Such a fantastically awesome creature.

    This is by far the most intelligent species of any invertebrate, and we still are learning so much about them, but a few things I can tell you is that the largest Giant Pacific Octopus was nearly 200 lbs, pretty impressive for only a 3 year lifespan, also with eight arms totaling 270 suckers per arm their unbelievably strong, usually captive specimens in aquariums are much more friendly then their wild counterparts cause they interact with their handlers on a regular basis.

      @Thomas Paine Their nervous system/mental processing is quite stunning. The primary main brain sends the info to the arms nerve mass, and then the arms act accordingly independent of each other. In a nutshell, an octopus has to visually see what it's arms are doing to process its movements/understand it's relative position to the rest of it's body

    That big fella is a great big softy, to be honest if that was me I would feel really calm, relaxed and I would want to befriend the big fella. Octopi as far as I can tell are in a lot of ways are quite similar to spiders, they aren't dangerous to humans unless they feel threatened or in this case, if they accidentally tamper with their scuba gear (But even then it's just innocent curiosity and adventuring for an octopus). I think there is something pretty special and magical about animals who are as intelligent as octopi and dolphins and whales and what-not - I will go as far as to say they are just like humans, just in a completely different anatomy.

    Octopodes are one of the most intelligent species on Earth, capable of abstract thought, and known for both their playfulness and their notorious skills as escape artists. The nicest thing about them, in my opinion, is that their intelligence is so clearly _alien_ to ours. Unlike cetaceans, higher primates, and corvids, which have comparable intelligence and think in ways at least recognizable to us, octopodes think in ways we can't even imagine, much less comprehend. They are so alien, in fact, that there is a legitimate hypothesis that they may have evolved from life which arrived from off-earth through panspermia.

    • @PlagueSan
      @PlagueSan 4 года назад +11

      The thing is though if you take Octopus dna and Human dna they are so similar that thinking they came from somewhere else would be silly. The only way they could’ve come from off-earth is if all complex life starts the same way as on Earth. Maybe there is only 1 way for complex life to start? If that’s the case then it wouldn’t matter if they are from here or somewhere else. We all look the same under a microscope.

      I think it is a great way for us to practice communication with extraterrestrial life, should the chance arrive. Who isn’t to say that Octopus’ are our test sent by intelligent life to see if we are smart enough to communicate with them without too much issue.
      I’m not saying that is what’s going on, but to the Octopus, the water is their air, and the air is their space. Perhaps we could conduct a few more tests with them in our “environment” finding how we can make equipment for them to survive in our biome. We have so many things to learn from, and move forward, to get more information, but we, as a species can’t even communicate around the planet without having language barriers.
      I don’t know. I might be rambling, but I think learning to properly communicate with creatures such as these are filled with so much scientific potential, not only for learning about octopus, but also learning of different ways living things can think, learn, and, most importantly, how knowledge can be exchanged effectively between human, and non-human intelligent life, such as dolphins, octopus, and potentially, find some ways to streamline not only our language barrier problem, but for potential non Earth life.
      Think about it. If the diver wasn’t smart enough to show that octopus that there is something wrong, or we weren’t able to notice that the octopus was curious about the bubbles, this interaction could have been deadly, should the octopus snag or break something on the diver’s life support.
      If we had no idea what an octopus was, but we knew it was intelligent, and it killed a diver, that wouldn’t bode well to the public. When in reality, the octopus was curious and had no intention of creating such a negative impact on the human race. For all we know, that could be the first time an octopus saw a human.
      Most wildlife don’t want anything to do with humans, other than if it involves their own survival. We need to break out of this world we have, we need to expand our horizons. Let’s get to understand intelligent life on our own planet first before venturing out into the stars, shall we? We could learn a thing or two from these “animals.”
      (Heads up, Humans are animals too, don’t associate that word with less intelligence.)
      And this time, shall we make sure we don’t make a negative connotation towards something that doesn’t look exactly like us?

      +Kieran Ennis Octopodes gather in underwater caves for meetings where they rapidly flash colours across their skin at each other. No one knows for certain why they do this, but there is a hypothesis that they're _talking._ Considering that they are known to use tools and that they have grasping tentacles which are _more_ dextrous than primate fingers, the only reason they didn't beat us to establishing a civilization is that underwater fire is a lot more difficult than open-air fire.

    The interesting thing about octopuses is that their intelligence rivals that of human children, but they are incapable of teaching their young because the fathers abandon the family and the mothers starve themselves waiting for the eggs to hatch. So every new generation has to teach itself everything from scratch. Imagine how quickly they could advance if we could bridge that generational gap.
