"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.

I don't know why but 2:23 got me. The way the octopus touched his forehead seemed very human as though the diver was being blessed in the name of Cthulu.
They have been scientifically shown to be intelligent. They shapeshift and adapt to different things to avoid predators in a way no other animal can. They interact with things around them in an intelligent way. Aristotle was actually wrong about octopus.
Octopus to his friends: "I'm telling you guys, I met a real alien today while I was out chilling on the rock, dude literally floated up to me and showed me his special hand" Friends: "Cmon dude you expect us to believe that, that just ain't possible, you seriously gotta cut back on that seagrass"

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.
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 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.
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
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.
"felt like a true interaction between two thinking beings." I absolutely love that. that's how I felt watching this. what a beautiful animal, makes me so fascinated in animals & how their intelligence cannot be measured necessarily by our metrics but it makes you rethink how much we underestimate them.
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?”
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.
"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.
@@snkhuong Possibly, but they are very smart. I remember reading a story one time about this guys pet octopus who loved this green scooping net. He left the octopus in his friends care for the weekend and his friend forgot to lock the lid. Octopus got out in the middle of the night to get the net and then died holding the net because he couldn't make it back into the water.
I once made an octopus friend. It was while snorkeling in the Maldives, so a small reef octopus. I put my arm forward and he grabbed it, so I swam around a bit with him. He didn't even let go when i raised my arm out of the water. Then I took him on a round the island tour and he let go of me more or less when we reached the spot where I first found him. One of the best hours of my life
Magnificent creatures of the sea. Breaks my heart when I see how their tentacles are chopped off still alive & the brain is alive while the sick human mutilates him. Let these beauties under the sea live. Ppl want to eat everything-doesn’t matter if they’ve escaped death by humans into old age & by God deserve to live.
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.
Notice how every time the diver pulled away and made it clear he wanted space, the octopus backed off. It understood the concept of personal space and the signals being given to it. THAT is amazing.
To think that even wild animals understand that concept, and some people don't, huh? Although, cats and dogs sometimes don't really care about using us as pillows even if we're busy! 😆💕
"So he reached his tentacles out but they had no suckers, and then he pulled them back. And I was like 'okay you weird smooth-tentacle thing' and he reached out for me again."
Ten seconds after the camera went off, he unzipped his fly and offered up his own "special arm" to the octopus, in hopes that it would investigate with its suckers.
He's got Some Story to tell down at 'The Coral Reef' bar! Of course the pool sharks probably won't believe him but the bar flies & lounge lizards will hang on his every word!
It's remarkable how peaceful the silent communication between the diver and the octopus is- how gentle the actupus interacts with the intelligent opposite..I just fell in love with this species! Their eyes are so human.
He was so curious and exploratory as this man was.... Like he was also thinking "okay human...I won't hurt you.... It's okay...see?" Just like the diver was.
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. 😊❤😊
"this creatures are so smart" "communication of two intelligent beings" "he figured out I am neither food or a female, so he walked away" What an interesting creature lmao
@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.
Hahaha no but bro they truly are so intelligent look up ‘making contact’ this guy sets up a octopus in his front room and makes friends with it those creatures are thousands of times more intelligent than dogs and are affectionate & emotional
That aint called mantra! Babe! Why do u peeps keep using such intense word like a slang! U dont even respect hindu thing but keep ranting things like that! The christians named all this a myth Karma, mantra, yoga! These are not words these are great definitions!
Besides the fact that this was such a cute, well mannered and downright gentlemanly octopus, the color and texture of his skin and the ability to camouflage with its surroundings are absolutely unmatched. What a beautiful, lovely and sentient creature.
Absolutely love and respect the world of empathy you showed to this amazing creature of the sea. The mutually curious approach between you two was fascinating and heartwarming.
When the octopus respected when the guy pulled away and was more gentle, you can tell the octopus respected the guys consent. The guy octopus has only one chance to mate before he dies, recognizing if this other creature wants to mate or not is very important, and was really sweet to watch
@@OscarLangleySoryu Their problem solving abilities are far greater than cats. There is a channel that specializes in "testing" octopuses intelligence.

It comes from above in strange suits, making strange noise and breathing bubbles. The only usable communication is with gentle touches since nobody know language or gestures.
@@VEE1959 I would go along with that except that they still use "DNA" in a similar to how we do, and they share phylogenetic qualities with other mollusks, cephalopods, and obviously terrestrial creatures. They're totally awesome though yeah
@@captainTubes what if DNA is just convergent evolution among any intelligent species that can develop to a point of interstellar travel? We see convergent evolution here on Earth amongst unrelated species such as flight, warning colors, venom, vocal communication etc. what if all species that achieve interstellar travel are shockingly similar, because that body design just works the best when put under evolutionary pressure?
“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
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.
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.
I found this surprisingly emotional to watch, I often forget there's other animals on this planet with their own daily affairs and struggles aside humans, let alone myself.
I can't help but imagine the octopus cruising to the depths and finding "the boss" to inform them of your presence and candor. "That guy is kinda cool, you think we could maybe spare him the madness" The adaptive camouflage really makes you wonder whats lurking down there yet to be discovered.
The octopus reacted very similarly to some nature enthusiasts when they find a strange animal that doesn't run from or attack them while out hiking. Investigate, pet it a bit, learn what it can about this strange creature, then just go on about its day. Utterly marvelous
The documentary, 'My Octopus Teacher', went far beyond the scope of this lovely encounter. It was about a curious Australian diver who, over time, bonded with an adorable little octopus. If you liked this video, I highly recommend, 'My Octopus Teacher'. Not only are these creatures highly intelligent, but gentle, intuitive, and, believe it or not, emotional.
Oh, I believe they are emotiomal. Creatures wuth this much intelligence cant get around at least some sentience and emotion. And considering Reptiles can feel comfort and safety, even though complex emotions are beyond them, a creature like an octopus must be having complex emotions.
Is it sad at all does anything happen to the octopus 🐙 if so I don't think I could watch it. I cry to easily when bad things happen to any beautiful creature.

To think that even wild animals understand that concept, and some people don't, huh? Although, cats and dogs sometimes don't really care about using us as pillows even if we're busy! 😆💕
@@remmie6744 I came to say that lol.
I wish humans could understand personal space like this octopus
So it's better than my parents. Good to know
I know every one learns at a young age they have suction cups. But just think about that: THEY HAVE FUCKIN SUCKTION CUPS !!!!!!!!!!
Little did we know that the octopus would post this on SeaTube titled “Octopus reaches tentacle out to human” and it would get 1.8 million views
Lmaoo fr
No it got a squillon views
Lmao hahahaha seatube?????!!
1.8 million suckers and 300k tentacles-up.
"So he reached his tentacles out but they had no suckers, and then he pulled them back. And I was like 'okay you weird smooth-tentacle thing' and he reached out for me again."
“His special arm that is very long” I’m GONEEEE
Nah if it would be cartoonish, I would be gone too, but this is fine.
WAIT-
Ten seconds after the camera went off, he unzipped his fly and offered up his own "special arm" to the octopus, in hopes that it would investigate with its suckers.

I love how gently the octopus was. Just inspecting him, figuring out what he was... That was awesome.

It's remarkable how peaceful the silent communication between the diver and the octopus is- how gentle the actupus interacts with the intelligent opposite..I just fell in love with this species! Their eyes are so human.
Probably the coolest experience one can have underwater, bonding and having an interaction with those you barely see. Such intellectual beings

Agree
@@anfreith true
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. 😊❤😊
"this creatures are so smart"
"communication of two intelligent beings"
"he figured out I am neither food or a female, so he walked away"

Everything East Wind said is true!
To be fair, you wouldn't waste time on something that's not a priority to you and octopi don't have the luxuries we do. lol.
Ismael Reyna Your reply makes no sense
? 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.
"There was that communication cable..".
Octopus: finally the internet!

They are delicious though
Absolutely love and respect the world of empathy you showed to this amazing creature of the sea. The mutually curious approach between you two was fascinating and heartwarming.
i bet the Octopus was like: He'll never know what i'm investigating him with

*no one*:
*diver dude*: "This is my chance to feel his suckers."
*It's very long.*

*It feels like they each have their own brain*
That's what she said

Hearing a guy say "This is my chance to feel an octupus' suckers." sounds so weird yet hilarious ngl 😂
Yeah, that felt so wired specifically with that octopus trying to check for a female
Mmm yes, tentacle yaoi kekw
now touch my tickly wickly D
How old are you? Ten?
This is such a beautiful interaction. ♥️
When the octopus respected when the guy pulled away and was more gentle, you can tell the octopus respected the guys consent. The guy octopus has only one chance to mate before he dies, recognizing if this other creature wants to mate or not is very important, and was really sweet to watch
@@OscarLangleySoryu Their problem solving abilities are far greater than cats.

VegCeps dude I never said none of them deserve compassion
@@jacksamunster4407 damn i wish aliens would say the same to you
“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
Such a cute octopus !

@@rachelsmlee8450 and badass looking
Cute, no. badass and alien yes.
yaahh, soo cuute :) with his movements and wrinkled skin, he reminds me of very old ppl, they're cute either
blushing anime girl as your profile picture and octopus is giving me weird thoughts😂
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.
What a great expression of the interaction. "A true interaction between two beings!" That's how we should see all life on this planet ❤

“Ok, sorry. That was a little too much.” Lol Such an intelligent creature 🐙 😍
I love how you recognize and appreciate that this is an interaction between two intelligent animals, regardless of how different.
I can't help but imagine the octopus cruising to the depths and finding "the boss" to inform them of your presence and candor. "That guy is kinda cool, you think we could maybe spare him the madness"
The adaptive camouflage really makes you wonder whats lurking down there yet to be discovered.
Spare me the madness!
The octopus reacted very similarly to some nature enthusiasts when they find a strange animal that doesn't run from or attack them while out hiking. Investigate, pet it a bit, learn what it can about this strange creature, then just go on about its day. Utterly marvelous
It would have been seriously interesting if he decided you were his 'date'.

The documentary, 'My Octopus Teacher', went far beyond the scope of this lovely encounter. It was about a curious Australian diver who, over time, bonded with an adorable little octopus. If you liked this video, I highly recommend, 'My Octopus Teacher'. Not only are these creatures highly intelligent, but gentle, intuitive, and, believe it or not, emotional.
It's a beautiful documentary but it's a South African free diver who filmed it ❤
Oh, I believe they are emotiomal.
Creatures wuth this much intelligence cant get around at least some sentience and emotion.
And considering Reptiles can feel comfort and safety, even though complex emotions are beyond them, a creature like an octopus must be having complex emotions.
