Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer... Cuttlefish survive by being able to blend into their surroundings through camouflage .Richard Hammond puts this to the test and experiments if the fish are able to camouflage in a tank set up like a living room.
In the final episode of Richard Hammond’s Miracles Of Nature, Richard is once again investigating the extraordinary super-powers of the animal kingdom and discovering how a multitude of amazing creatures are inspiring inventions at the very forefront of science.
From the chilly climes of Sweden to the warmer shores of San Diego, Richard is once again on a global search to unearth remarkable creatures that have evolved with unique super-powers; along the way he’ll play predator to a tank full of Hagfish prey and fly above the pacific in search of migrating Humpback whales. He’ll also devise entertaining scientific experiments which will in turn explain the extraordinary workings of each of these phenomenal creatures’ specific capabilities.

I love how he stared at the checkered pattern of the floor for a while and then tried his best and made a single white square on his back 😭❤️ You did well, lil buddy
One white, one black square.

rectangle
I never see them camouflaging on my colorful plates
💕👍He did it very Well.
Okay... it was adorable when he pulled off that single square. Of course nature doesn't have a lot of perfect squares laying around but that was the point, to see if the cuttlefish would "think" to adapt to new and strange surrounding and he did. You did a fine job, Mr.Cuttlefish.
And Freedom For All name me 3 squares u can find in nature
@@mrforeverlife7533 I don't know how many there are, but pyrite is one of them. I doubt a cuttlefish would run into that though
Hope he reads that
It's often said that triangles and especially squares don't exist in nature.
That's just giving their "evolution" a new idea to fund their points on.
I love how the comments section is so warm for commending the cuttlefish.
Because he is so dedicated
He is so cute and hard working
No it was a failure.
@@Commentator541 yeah..🙂
Someone should cuddle the cuttlefish 😊

The cuttlefish just chilling on the lounge looks like surrealist art.
Almost looks like he is about to start narrating a book for us. Or introduce the next programe.
I want someone to paint that
looks like a scene out of twin peaks
@@ravedeath7690 yes i was about to comment that so strange we had the same thought within 1 minute
if you have no idea what surrealist means then sure
The fact he did improvise a square, on his back where he can't even see it is pretty damn amazing. I wonder if he were placed in the same environment if he would get better at it over time. I mean, that was within a few minutes. A complex brain like theirs would surely adapt to some degree with practice.
There would either be some adaptation over time or they would just stick with blending in with that weird couch bed thing because that was actually pretty damn good
Maybe it's not a matter of intellect, but rather of physical capabilities.
@@ryoji4200 I'm fairly certain they are physically capable of making a square because if you look on the cuttlefish's back when it goes for the checkerboard pattern you will see that there is a massive white vaguely shaped like a rectangle thing, if the cuttlefish can do that then it can do smaller squares it would just take a lot of practice to get it lined up correctly
Maybe he would just try changing the environment to make it easier for him to adapt to it.
@@the_undead a singular square, but perfectly geometrically square alternating patterns of black and white? No lol. You don't see that shit in nature. Actually only time you see black and white tiling is in "illuminati" (for lack of a better word) symbolism

The fact that he figured out to make himself another part of the decor instead of trying to replicate a pattern shows just how smart cephalopods are.
I don't think he thought to become a zebra skin rug. It couldn't replicate the pattern so instead used a pattern it had that was close enough.

How is this related to the video?
I don’t think you guys understand how outstanding that rectangle was, it shows that they aren’t just blending to their environment on body instinct, they are actually thinking.
For all you know that was just the cuttlefish flimed at an opertune time wile it tried to mimic the chessboard pattern ,but it came out diagonal because it was at least impossible at least at the time. The ability to use minimal brain power to send pigment were your body detects it or your ability to ability to roughly mimic abstract shape by using the principle doesn't mean you unferstand the priciple of the shape.
I wonder if cephalopods enjoy mimicry, maybe it’s another form of play for them when not in danger. Something challenging

**Cuttlefish makes one white square**
“ _Yeah. This is it :3_ ”
That right there actually could mean a whole lot. Where was he seeing that white Square? Underneath him or with his eyes?
@Dr. M. H. they and any cephalopod lack receptors for color in their retina. BUT the odd shape of their pupil retracts light allowing their retina to detect color indirectly and in far greater ranges of light exposure. The cones found in mammalian eyes are a crutch not an advancement.
@Dr. M. H. friend told me a racoon would always eat dog food in order by color- red , green then brown
@Dr. M. H. wtaf? :D
@Dr. M. H. Oh, I think I was just registering general marvel at what the Cuttlefish does there. Might have even replied to the wrong comment by mistake.
However, wow to this animal! He or she is amazing. I don't know if anyone has posed this question, but do we have ideas on whether the Cuttlefish is aware, in its own way, of what it's doing? Does it possibly think, in Cuttlefish language/thought, 'Oh, gotta be this color and shape right now, for safety's sake!'?:D
I love how at the end, it stays on the chair as if it owns the room❤️😭

Zebras are made to be hard to see for lions
He's doing the best he can with the texture packs he's got
Needs to install cs:s
It's weird to think that's a thing he's physically doing consciously, like moving an arm. What does it feel like to change color and pattern? How do you consciously do that?
If you think of our nervous system as a keyboard and each nerve used to control a certain limb it gives us the answer that we need to born with that natural instinct to do certain things (provided your body can actually do them) which without you cant really do, like how you can move your leg but not individual skin cells
I imagine the "feeling of it" would be something like doing a facial expression. Imagine raising an eyebrow or grinning to something you hear, now imagine that those "muscles" and "nerves" for raising an eyebrow are actually for changing your color on your back. A lot mor complicated but probably it comes as naturally as changing a face to you or me.
Is he thinking warm thoughts to get warmer colors, colder thoughts to get colder/brighter colors?
Some people, myself included, can induce goose bumps on demand. I imagine it feels kind of like that.
@@eventhisidistaken i imagine that but with the sensitivity of a face of fingertips, and all the delicate spatial and muscular feelings they have

I did a very similar experiment back in college, trying to see the difference between cuttlefish and flounder color change ability.
The only thing I found out from the experiments is that cuttlefish have attitudes and will actively work against you if you annoy them in any way. Instead of even trying to change to the checkerboard, the cuttlefish spent the entire time staring straight at me flashing red and yellow... then he shot ink out of the water at me. -_-

@@dragonitzgame Yeah, there are zebra fish
Never say never
The pattern is good for hiding in grass-like plants, like sea grass. And many cuttlefish spend a good amount of their time hunting and being hunted in Seagrass. So it makes sense that they'd have that pattern in their repertoire.

And the other thing wrong with it is Richard Hammond.
What I find reallly fascinating is that the cuttlefish replicated a pattern that is not present in the room. And also the fact that it is a zebra pattern which is no way he could ever see outside his natural habitat.
The process you refer to is called convergent evolution. It’s basically when two unrelated animals evolve to look or act extremely similar because they are put under similar evolutionary pressures. The “zebra stripes” are a pattern that have evolved many different times in nature amongst reptiles, fish, insects, and mollusks alike.
There are zebra fish.
This relieves. I was worried there was a cuttlefish in my room that i just couldnt spot

Good job to the cuttlefish for showing how adaptable it is. You can see the sheer tyranny of will in trying to camouflage on a checkerboard floor.
I wonder if theoretically the scientists let the cuttlefish live there, would It slowly keep learning to mimic its surroundings? And would it slowly become more and more successful overtime?
Nope in nature sharp edges and the kinds of patterns humans tend to make are too algorithmic whereas the cuttlefish relies on blending with random patterns. Therefore the chess board was a failure but the couch was somewhat easier.
@@eskerr3383 what if it was born into this environment over years and years of only seeing this environment tho. It could adapt, ya ever know
@@Teachinghowtodougie no, not without an entire environment natural selection and probably centuries or more
@@Teachinghowtodougie forgot to say that even with the aforementioned parameters i still think its highly unlikely if not impossible for it to happen. its just too complex too specific for it to be viable
@@eskerr3383 agreed. If it even were theoretically possible it’s something that would take multiple generations centuries or more to become good at, and even then it would only be able to replicate the highly specific patterns it has been introduced to.

+Tsuyoshi Hariyoshi other sea life wouldn't know any better

I find it neat that the cuttlefish tried the floor in a couple of different ways before eventually settling on the couch. It's like he knew he couldn't recreate the pattern perfectly, so he switched strategies and went for the easier color scheme on the little couch.
That seems to suggest that cuttlefish are smart enough to (A) plan ahead based off how a potential predator might react, and (B) make informed decisions that regard more complex variables than just, say, choosing whether to eat one type of food compared to another. That's pretty impressive, especially for a creature we might regard as 'primitive.'
YES!!!!
That's a smart comment from a primitive being living in a highly advanced galaxy !
Exactly!
Actually they are colorblind so...
No real oceanologist thinks they're primitive and you've just named a bunch of stuff that is already well documented about cuttlefish and their relatives. Good job.

Out of many hours spent diving, the 15 minutes I spent with 2 cuttlefish were perhaps the most rewarding, ever!
They just appeared close to me and stayed near while moving forward,back, side to side...all without seeming to alter anything.

corals, anything handy, they tried to copy.
They maintained a self-determined safe distance then, gone...very fast.

Cuttlefish: I was abducted by giant aliens, dad. Then I was put in this weird room with weird patterns I found difficult to camouflage into.
Dad: Well at least you're alive. Those aliens ate your granddad.
LOL!
Rofl🤣 amazing dark humour
That went from 0 to 100 real quick 💀
This is the most adorable thing I've seen this year, and it was uploaded 10 years ago.
The single square was the qutest thing♡.♡ !! I feel like a proud mother! Well done fishy♡♡
Cuttlefish is not a fish though...peace
You gave birth to that thing?
@@reyalexisjelly No 🤣🤣🤣
I'm just proud of this creature _like_ a mother 🤣
@@asmr4424 I know, it's in the same family like octopuses.
Dora Këmba then I feel like a proud father lmao😂🤣🤣
if Cuttlefish could blend into modern things and could fly, everyone would be dead
And was at the top of the food chain.
omg yeah imagine just strolling through town then suddenly a cuttlefish burst out of a wall and just ate you up
But HUNTING such a dangerous animal with thermal goggles would be so fun and challenging... In our day at least :)
yeah
such as killing more animals? I don't get it.
(i don't like killing animals for fun)
Cuttlefish: Oh they missed a zebra touch and a rag here, time to give some sophistication to this room...
He had Hammond's face for a few seconds. That's impressive!
Two very significant & powerful capabilities : 1) Able to recognize & analyse complex colours with or without guiding bright lights 2) Fast processing of skin to camouflage.
This creature has intelligence we may haven't fully understood yet.
OK he didn't do it exactly, but just seing a cuttlefish on a chaise lounge with a little lamp next to him is pretty mental.
@@maucelia388 omg yes 😀
David Lynch would approves.
@@LuckeyWlas Someone finally said it
I’m proud of him!
The Tillman Sneaker Review
stop it, he was trying ok? :( dont be too harsh with the criticism
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview and how many couch imitations have you seen an animal do? That's right, stfu.
Let's be honest. This little dude did better than any of us people could.
Well yes, we can't change the colour of our skin on a whim
C'mon Hammond isn't that short
Cuttlefish: "so peaceful here... no predators, no preys... why waste energy to change color and texture?". Dumb humans.
Exactly what I was thinking
There was no point for him to go real
Like he already got caught and after that it's just been free food for him
He might have even lost his skill
No, he still got it. Naturally born with it. He's made a promise not to show off his skills for no reason. Send him a threat or a fast moving meal, he'll Kung Fu the shit out of em.
Lol
We are the predators, dumb cuttlefish, time to eat
Like the cheetah who refused to race dogs.
Bit of an abrupt ending
Sarah Green we wanted to see him take a crack at the stripes smh
They didn’t want to publicize his ultimate failure
Cuttlefish : You better give me a raise if you want me do a full checkerboard !
First answer!!
LOL
That would be EA making a cuttlefish simulator
okay fine increased shrimp rations
