This is one of the biggest treasures one could find in diving. I'm jelly. For those that don't know. This octopus could turn this dive into a nightmare if you didn't respect it. Even small octopuses can wreak havoc on a diver by pulling at their gear. Sucking to their face. All sorts of crazy stuff. This was a dream encounter and both animals seemed to offer mutual respect.
I was totally jelly of this diver! 🥰
@@ismith275 that's so wholesome. 🙄

Thanks for this rundown. The video insinuated he trusted this particular octopus after observing, that made me question if Octopus Encounters arnt always safe.

Uh you sure? The first thing the octupus did when he saw the human was try to impregnate him😂
"Almost feels like every sucker has it's own brain". It's true, octopus' suckers are highly sensitive, they have nerves capable of some low level processing which communicates with a 'senior' nerve of sorts in the arm. Each of their arms is both capable of communicating with one another as well as acting pretty much independently from one another. They're truly amazing creatures
Each of their arms has a separate nerve cluster for only dealing with that arm, and communicates to the other arms and the brain. They don't have individual "brains" for each arm, not as such as we would call it a brain, but they are somewhat independent in that those nerve clusters control just that arm. Fascinating creatures, if we go extinct, I think either dolphins or octopi will be the next sapient creature, if they're not already.
You helped me have an epiphany about my own self
Octopuses are so smart, it’s a shame that their lives are so short.
Totally agree ❤❤❤
Maybe if they were any longer they'd take over the world.
Or maybe they'd just all become very sad, because they'd figure out how sad the world is. It's kind of painful to be intelligent and live a long time. So maybe they'll be okay.
Does the intelligence define the life expectancy?
@@avramidis3d unfortunately not
@@avramidis3d Perhaps it's more like the inverse. Life expectancy enforces ceilings to intelligence.

I love these animals. I'm almost ashamed that I've eaten them and found them delicious but now realize they deserve study and to be preserved. Something about them just fascinates me.
They aren't that tasty anyway. Salmon and tuna are much better.
I've never wanted to eat them. when I was about 4 I saw a little Greek kid a little younger than me smashing an octopus onto rocks and was totally outraged especially when I found out that that's the way people kill them to eat. at that age I was horrified at the idea of eating such a strange little creature that looked so harmless and that idea never changed. they're too special to eat
@@opeeate😪
I identify with this. I have Japanese ancestry, so eating octupi was part of my culture. But then I started keeping kosher (just a lot of Bible reading brought me to it). One of the really lovely side effects of this diet was I started to get to feel a lot better about intelligent creatures like this, with no more guilt. MANY of the creatures forbidden in the kosher rules--the original ones in the Torah, not the Talmud--are intelligent. Whales, pigs, octupi--we as humans kind of arbitrarily decide who we think will be intelligent (hence why octupi are tortured alive, but that's not generally considered okay for other animals). But maybe only God actually knows what animal will suffer most, or who's most intelligent. Anyway, whatever the actual reason for the no-octupi rule, I'm really grateful that I don't have to feel like I HAVE to eat them anymore to stand up for my culture. I can have my ancestry and still keep octupi alive.
These animals should not be eaten, they are far too intelligent.
Eat squid instead.
This is truly humbling footage.

I bet the octopus was fascinated by the different textures & colours of the diver & all his gear. The good part of social media is how we’re getting to see more & more of these amazing interactions between species. I think this is the way the world is meant to be. Humans being curious but kind & making life better for other creatures when we have an opportunity, not being cruel, destructive, selfish & greedy.

I swam with a Pacific Octopus in Hawaii where I wasn’t wearing a dry-suit. Having eight arms and thousands of suckers grab you by the head, mask, torso and legs all at once is wildly disorienting! It’s like nothing else I’ve ever experienced!
Like he said it’s like meeting an alien. Once you get past the fear and apprehension it’s like mind-melding.
They are obviously very intelligent and very curious. It’s ranks as one of the best experiences of my life. I highly recommend
It's crazy wild to see two living beings from radically different worlds coming together and peacefully exploring each other's make-up and capabilities. This is really exciting to watch. It's like encountering a space alien and getting to know each other. There is a woman diver who has a seal friend, and they get together every time she dives. Maybe next time you can bring your octopus a treat in a jar and watch him open it. They are very intelligent and clever.
Thank you for sharing this with us. I just love it. 😊❤😊

Get over yourself. The universe inst nearly that nice. Sure it's cool to see it but to say that's how it should be is to be completely and utterly ignorant of the way life actually works.
@@deamonomic Did you read what I said, or making things up that I never did. The man and the octopus and a mutual interest and both were gentle with each other. None harmed each other and both respected each other. So how about you get over yourself and stop making things up that I never said. Did you watch the video? Did the man harm the animal. No he was gentle. The man showed respect to the animal. The animal did the same. What you said, does not even relate to my comment. Also I have no idea what you say when you say mural respect. Seeing mural is any piece of artwork painted or applied directly on a wall, ceiling or other permanent surfaces. but lets go by your comment. Look how many lives you take per year yourself to eat because of greed. How about you read what someone says before you open your mouth.

? Not sure what part you didn't understand.
@Abraham Johnathan
No they are known for not interacting much with other members of their species. The only exceptions is when they form Octo cities, which only happen because they find something interesting they all want to nest around and thus are forced to interact with one another, or they are the small ringed pacific Octopus and naturally live in groups.
I love this guy’s logic. Goes up to a creature he’s never seen, potentially dangerous, and his immediate first thought is: “ok but is it a pretty lady?”

One thing I have to give him huge props for is (despite mild pursuit at the beginning) letting the octopus initiate and allowing it to leave when it wanted to. Too many people get too grabby, too touchy, and most importantly stress out the animal by prolonging the encounter too long.
Probably the most amazing life form on this planet.
Definitely it's in their DNA
“His special arm that is very long” I’m GONEEEE

@@JohnRohoboth idiot named dollar bill: I have to call out someone on the internet
Also dollar bill: must not understand that one of an octopuses arms if male, is actually its penis
But hey. If trying to ruin other peoples day makes you feel better about yourself, then you do you buddy
2:23 got me...Incredible animal
If a person is drowning and an octopus is nearby, he or she will grab onto the person with a tentacle to prevent the person from drowning. Octopi are very gentle, sweet creatures and you can pet them like a puppy dog and they will enjoy it!
“Its almost like every tentacle has it’s own brain”
Well turns out its true. 1/3 of the neurons in the octopus are located in the brain. The rest are spread out throughout its body. Turns out, their tentacles can move involuntarily from the brain, showing they have their own action/thinking capabilities.
These animals rewrite the definition of intelligence
Wow thats honestly so cool i never knew that. I suppose they really are one of the smartest creatures on earth
Amazing what you can find out by killing something and cutting it up, lol.
They have 9 brains yes, one in each leg and another one in the "head"
humans have about the same amount of neurons in their body excluding the brain as an octopus has in its entire body including its brain, we have 500 ish million neurons in our guts and about 10% that amount on our heart.
How is that rewriting the definition of intelligence lol
I kind of like how the narrator/diver isn't sensationalizing this moment. There is a clear balance between "this was a meeting between two intelligent beings" and "he didn't care much for me once he sort of figured out what I was." You don't anthropomorphize the octopus, you don't mystify it, but you still allow it to be something very special and intimate.
My thoughts exactly.
Yup, that My Octopus Teacher creep should take some notes
It’s hard NOT to anthropomorphize them because they’re so freaking intelligent honestly though. The “meeting an alien” analogy is SPOT on.
"he didn't care much for me once he sort of figured out what I was" funny, i had the same reaction after seeing him finger-wag an animal in whose environment the diver is actually a guest
@@thetwistedsamurai Most things are fabricated by humans and their minds, we are all aliens and so are all the creatures on our planet especially in the vast oceans which we have so little information on. It is really amazing though that everything has evolved the way it has, really makes you appreciate everything that we have.
great interaction and done with careful patience; well done!
Dude they're sentient AF. Amazing.
