What do you call an tiny octopus with big eyes, gelatinous skin and is cute as a button? Nobody knows quite yet! Stephanie Bush of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute aims to classify and name this presently undescribed deep-sea cephalopod using preserved specimens and a clutch of eggs hatch housed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
*DISCLAIMER* from Dr. Stephanie Bush: The Opisthoteuthis eggs depicted in this video are preserved specimens, not the eggs laid at the Monterey Bay Aquarium (which are still being lovingly incubated at MBARI's Cold Storage Facility!)

I will call him squishy, and he will be my squishy.
Micah Newman So I'm not the only who thought of Nemo!
O:
NEMOOOOO! :'D I'm not aloneee!
+Micah Newman I thought: Awww you guy made me ink! :'( Pearl!
+Dark Prism We're thinking of Pearl, the octopus, he's thinking of the jelly fish. :)
+Micah Newman I would name her Inky! Or Pinky! Or Blinky! Or Clyde! or Sue! :P Basically any of the names of the ghosts from Pac-man ... because this is what this exactly what this tiny cute octopus reminds looks like!
If I were a mermaid, I'd love to have this cute guy as my pet buddy :D
Same
You never know what kind of mermaid you'll be no one chooses how they're born right.
In other words you could be a siren
@@DawnSilverStone 🤣
Like Flounder and Ariel?
@@DawnSilverStone Sssshhhh......
"See this tentacle? it's actually shorter than all my other tentacles, but you can't really tell, especially when I twirl them like this."
-Pearl, Finding Nemo
Wow, Cthulhu is so cute!
Yeah, never knew he'd be so adorable!
Here we see the earliest form of the monster we knew cthulhu,it has the cutest form of all cthulhu form
no that is cthulhus friendly little pet
This is basically the real life version of Pearl from Finding Nemo.
It does! ouo
Annette Hasnas Actually, Pearl is a pink flapjack octopus!
***** Why thank you. I've always wondered if she was based on an actual type of octopus.
Glad to help :)
TheStepmonkey the pink flapjack's scientific name is "Opisthoteuthis californiana", so no, it's not the same species as this new "adorabilis" (they are just recently starting to think of a name, after all) :0
are there any updates on the eggs? I wanna see little tiny babies 🐙
Larger octopods can take 4 1/2 years, yes, years, to hatch. Meanwhile the mother stays with them, not eating.
If these take just as long they should have hatched by now, but I did a little googling and couldn't find anything.
@@veramae4098 Wow, indeed a lengthy amount of time. I was aware that dogs take only six months while scorpions take exactly twice as long as humans. :)
I live in the Monterey bay area and am looking to see if MBARI accepts volunteers, even if its just cleaning or replacing filters for the tanks. I'll come back here once I've looked into things.
If they incubate at low pressure they might turn out to be the size of a truck or just take less time
2:55 is such a cute moment, especially when the octo bumps against the container, it’s also a bit sad seeing him get trapped though, hopefully we learn more about them 👍🏾
1:36 NO. They're ears ;_; It has to be ;_;
+Karina Delgato Ramirez
IKR! they're so tiny with huge eyes and whittle floppy ears 😂
hahaha XD
Awwww, an OctoCutie
***** An Awwwctopus, perhaps?
Why not! As good as any
Wouldnt it make a great pet
Probably would
+Robert Trance No, you'd fail to get the conditions right, and you'd kill it. D;
Hi it has been a year, any idea how are the eggs doing? I wonder if the babies of this octopus will be 10 times cuter.
Choon Keong Lim
How is it possible to get any cuter than that?
It's strange that a channel with such high quality content only has around 30k subscribers, you guys deserve waaaaaaay more. I am always glad to see a new scifri video in my sub feed :D
PS: opistoteuthis adorabilis sounds perfect :3
Norm Conel They should have named it dumbo (the elephant), because of its "ears"
Norm Conel Science Friday is a radio program on NPR affiliated with PRI. It started in 1991 and I'm sure has many times this subscriber amount offline- although, I haven't gathered the data. :p
Tune a radio to NPR on a friday and you'll hear loads of good stuff like this or PRI has a phone app with all the shows archived, as well as they are online.
Amazing. I have 350+ subs, mostly science and news. I can't believe I haven't found this channel before (smacks forehead).
Norm Conel Thanks so much, guys! You can learn more about all of our programs at sciencefriday.com
Agreed, subbed!
Maybe adding try "pressure" to the eggs? Since its a deep sea creature, and the eggs fall to the bottom, maybe depth pressure will trigger some hormone and begin development?? High pressure may be a more suitable environment.
Mandelson Fleurival They just take years to grow because the cold slows the metabolism, plus the octopuses emerge as miniature versions of the adults rather than as less developed larvae as with other octopus species to give the young an advantage.
Mandelson Fleurival Come on man, you think they didn't think of that.
JR B thanks for knowledge.
HENNI Mohamed you never know. Sometimes you can be so close you don't notice the world around you.
Mandelson Fleurival true !
I wanna call 'em Puffles. :3
Aaawww...that's a perfect name😃
OnEiNsAnEmOtHeRfUcKa no it would be squishy and it shall be my squishy
So cute ◍•ᴗ•◍
That's an amazingly long time from eggs being laid to being hatched. Thankfully the little guys aren't considered a profitable commercial fish or much like the orange roughy, they'd be nearly extinct in next to no time at all. Luckily, many people end not to enjoy eating such cute little animals so let's hope they will continue to live long and happy lives in the deep dark and cold waters in the depths of the ocean.
all the same. deep sea bottom trawling can have a disastrous impact on any population that requires such a long time to incubate.
Khuratokh Agreed, it is a horrible and destructive method that shouldn't be allowed anywhere. Sad thing is despite knowing how destructive it is nobody seems to be effectively reducing and preventing it at the legislative level. It's truly amazing to me how bad we have to screw something up before we actually take action.
+Quagigitymire the problem is, how would you regulate such activities.
Unfortunately some money grubber will think of a way to get rich killing off this cutie! Look at history!
Nintendo should make a pokemon based on this cutie in sun and moon ☺️
Haha I was thinking the same I have good feeling that we are going to get an another octopus pokemon in 7th gen other than malamar and octillery
Welp, at least we have gen 9
Early footage of takodachis
those octopi are so cute I love them. they all just seem to have such cute faces and everything about them is cute!😃
I'm pretty sure this is my spirit animal.
same
Yeah i am trying to see if these are legal to keep
Maybe I can smuggle one if it’s legal yeah I will risk getting squished to a pancake to see or keep one
Looks like a subspecies of the dumbo octopus, a smaller cuter counterpart...
To clarify, the specimen being dissected in the video has been dead since 1990. Even the eggs featured on screen were taken from a deceased specimens ovaries. Rest easy internet; no animals were harmed in the making of this video.
right...they were harmed BEFORE the making of this video...so that makes it ok.
@@nowvoyagerNE
... Dude, they were dead. They weren't harmed whatsoever.
Died of old age, I think.
She straight up said that they were so comfortable in the aquarium they built for them that they left a few eggs in the exhibit, -
Yeh the eggs are from a live specimen in an aquarium while the dead bofy was long dead from 1990 old age maybe i guesd
Yes, opistoteuthis adorabillis DEFINETELY suites it! Nice job naming it
Honestly I feet bad when they captured the little guy 🙁
So did I but I also burst out laughing from how it looked
So did I. Especially since octopuses are so intelligent.
me too but think positive if they fully understand how adorabilis live they might had in your tank.i mean my tank!!
@@haritzharriezam847 you want to take their freedom? Just for your own happiness?
It hit its head trying to escape
Adorabilis? Can one actually name species like that? =D
I mean...rules of naming would prevent, wouldn't they?
its correct name would be Octopus Veneranilis (adorable octopus) but actual adora can mean worshipping and adore too....it would mean an to be adored octobus.....
It's a Chibi Cthulhu
Thank you for such high quality footage and all the work needed to produce it.
The Splatoon tumblr page brought me here. Do not be fooled by the Octarian's latest evil soldier!
Me too, we need to stay strong against this new army of cuteness.
234glenn I'm not so sure... They're REALLY cute...
cheese4g Yeah, totally. That's what brought me here, too. XD
clowkero You fool! Don't give in!
Rommel Villanueva Booyah!,You're right who cares about their big eyes, smooth skin, cute tentacles, and....and...
Always interesting in how scientist (who i have the greatest respect for) always say in order to understand this eco system and make/keep it healthy we need to understand how it works.
I say we all need to understand that were polluting all eco systems period. We need to investigate ourselves and come up with a solution for that!
Great work though keep it up!
For real
We don't help it work because it works. They get paid to be curious. They aren't helping. Actually pesticides are damaging because of how dangerous they can be for bees.
Agreed. Please don't litter or pick up litter plastic cigarette butts u see. Don't let dogs poop on the beach or chase birds they are feeding and resting.
Vote for candidates that support ocean conservation NOT sea drilling and mining! More protected marine areas no fishing trawling. Thank you for reading.
Cutelu
I had to write an animal book for Spanish class and I chose a dumbo octopus. Needless to say, my teacher was very impressed.
what if they weren't eggs... lol.
You think that a bunch of people who spend their lives studying cephalopods wouldn't know an egg when they see one?
Dream Chaser it's a joke
Dream Chaser
What if, they weren't...its...eggs?
This went from really cute to really weird really fast.
***** you're right. around the 2 minute mark :C
It's funny... Because I was under the impression that this species was called the 'Dumbo Octopus'. You learn something new every day :)
When I go to school, I'ma ask my bio teacher what he thinks of the Adorabilis
this is so cute and special, my faith in humanity starts to develope again
The music really drives home how lonely that tank is.
Call them the Zoidbergs
Mr MechanicalArm Why not Zoidberg?
You could call a single one a Zoidburg but a group would be Zoidburgs
Mr MechanicalArm A woop of Zoidbergs.
bernard Li Cause it´s a brain slug!
Mr MechanicalArm Yes a million times YES!!!
3:03 "Oh noooooOoooo" *does a backflip*
I shall call them squishy and they shall be mine and they shall be my squishy.
Piko Omari stolen
I CAME BACK, WHERE ARE THE EGGS NOW? I NEED AN UPDATE
aaaaaawwwwww i wanna see more of the cute lil octi such a lil cutie ball loool
It totally looks like one of the ghosts from pac man. But evermore adorable ;)
And now, they are called the 'Dumbo' Octopus. The are SO cute!!!
I read somewhere that they are now called Dumbo Octopuses 🥰
The name dumbo octopuses refers to a group of octopus species which share certain characteristics, like the fins above the eyes, the very short arms and the webs that join the arms. They all live in the deep ocean. The little guy featured in this video is one of the species in this group.
That is the cutest octopus I've ever seen*does from cuteness*
Oh you guys really have to keep us updated on the hatching progress of the eggs!
- I literally have a stomach ache from the enormous cuteness!!
This is so cool
OMG So Cute!!!!!! I Just Went Into My Old Sea Animal Plushies and I Found My Favorite Deep Sea Octopus Plush And The Looked At This Video Again And My Octopus Plush Was The Opisthoteuthis Adorabilis!!!!!!! I'm so excited and happy that I have a little plush of these cuties!!!!! 😊. But on the down side I have a fever......😓
I instantly thought it looked like "Pearl" from finding nemo lol so cute!
It's just trying to sucker you in before it latches onto your face.
What a cutie...they are so tiny. Cool video and very educational.
Was that a robot trying to pick up an octopus with a spatula at 2:51? I sense the potential for the cutest cartoon ever.
Stay strong SquidKids!
Real life Ponyo.
yasss
+Kurtis Saiyo
Except octopi aren't fish :x
Ponyoooooo!!!
I always learn something from this channel. Thank you for that!
OMG, I just went from this video to another one and it turned out that they actually named it "adorabilis"
thank u fr sharing this heart-warming story ..... they are indeed absolutely cute ... am sharing this in groups on fb n on my tl.... kudos to ur team...... cant wait to see d eggs hatched.....
Is this a Pokémon?
Steffen Fuhrmann NO😃
2D v. irl
🤣
it's definitely cute enough to be one though~
Cutetulhu
Subbed now. You're doing really great content on here ^^
Lon Shevu Thank!
They must've hatched by now, wish we could have seen it
OMGoodness! I wish i could have one as a pet but they need to be free :) But seriously, HOW CUTE!!!!
Cuteness overload
One moment your free, next your scooped up and contained. Not fair!
It has been 6 years, I wonder how is going
I wasn't expecting this kind of surprise...
The Snapchat logo has come to life!
They're so tiny and cute!! The music makes it better!!
Music is just a distraction from the fact that a living creatures are subjected to painful death in the name of "research science". All God's creations in any physical form, DO feel pain.
The specimen left them babies! Oh that's just precious. :3
With the fins, it kinda looks like a rabbit to me....
Teddy bear octupus ! C'mon, it has bear ears ! :3
No. I had enough with the mountain chicken.
So they saw it, loved and.... Of course.... Killed it. Gotta get those .... Cute ... Samples
Scientific study, you dip. Unless you'd rather all those cute little octopusses all die from humans fucking up the ocean rather than a few individuals being captured and studied so that we can better keep the other cute animals of its species alive.
Is there an update on those eggs today
Just as adorable as the tiny squid counterpart
Love the name adorableuss
It’s international cephalopod week every wrek
ermergerd we are so in love! Is there a petition to sign to make this lil guy actually named opistoteuthis adorabilis?!
so cute and what beautiful eyes.. the octopus was cute as well.
I very much appreciate that it's now called the "Flapjack Octopus". Perfect.
ha they used a spatula to mess with em, adorabilis then dissection kinda hard to have the 2 things immediately after the other. cool vid
cute cephalopod. I used to own a girl Octopus hummelincki....she was the best ever! Sad they only live 2 years tops like most cephalopods from warmer temps.
If Pixar made an Octopus it would be this little guy.
That is very adorable flapjack
Just exactly how big is this adorable creature?
This little guy looks like the kid octopus in Finding Nemo. Life imitating art now.
Usually when I subscribe to a channel, it does well. I just subscribed. That means you're on your way to 100K subs pretty soon.
Opistoteuthis adorabilis, what a little doll!
I just wanna sit and watch one for awhile, they are so neat
"Omg i think theyre really cute!"
What do you do with them?
"I TEAR THEM TO BLOODY SHREDS"
I just came from another video with the same kind of octopus except for it was yellow. Adorable as freak!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Wake-up! These, by the way highly intelligent creatures, were permanently removed from their home environment and slowly tortured to death, all in the name of "research science". Every God's creations in any physical form, DOES feel pain!........ And don't think anesthesia was applied.
Please name it adorabilis! I love that name! 😄
so...did the eggs hatch yet?
It’s been FIVE YEARS!!! Did these eggs hatch?!!!
Yeah, adorabilis feats it nicely.
Somewhere below the murky deeps...
Cthulthu: WHERE. ARE. MY.... ADORABILIS!?
SciFi do you know if those eggs have hatched yet??? It has been 2-3 years now since this video was posted???? Please update us and let us know... also do you know if males and females were put live together to see they would mate and have more eggs since the making of this video??? Thank you so much in advance...
Bloop bloop! Molly Weiss can our ceremony have a flower octopus?
Best part is the spatula at 2:50
This is like the answer to a terrible joke "what do you get if you mix a blobfish and an octopus"
Blobtopus!
Molly Weiss Blobfish are ugly, though! This octopus is the exact opposite!
Adoribilis is perfect! _this octopus is so cute!!_
I felt so bad when she was dissecting the squishy :(
Aww Cute Cephalopod. Did you steal it's eggs to breed them into bigger cuddly Cephalopods?
This makes me SO HAPPY!
