- We observed over a thousand deep sea octopus (Muusoctopus robustus) while exploring Davidson Seamount with Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Never before seen in these massive aggregations, most female octopus were resting in a brooding posture, tucked into rocks with eight arms inverted covering their bodies and eggs. Many were tucked into rocks near shimmering fluid seeps, which were previously unknown to occur in this region!

Aside from the multitude of upside down octopus, i’m not really sure what I’m looking at.
Corey M that helped me understand. thank you.
Corey M The “shimmer” they’re speaking of is the same effect one gets by staring across a desert in the hot sun or even a blacktop road in the hot sun. You see the waviness of the heat rising from the ground. Very cool to see this in the depths and being utilized by one of the smarter life forms here on earth with us.
Nice mustache
@@spaceenthusiast4836 thank you
Hahaha.... i feel u bro! Exactly what i was thinking! 💯🤣
It's almost surreal to think about. As we are up here on land working, living our lives, they are just there in total darkness at this moment in the deep ocean doing just one task and not even thinking about us or what is happening on the planet.
I'm a SCUBA diver and I often will lay in bed and think about these things, or even shipwrecks. Think about how I am just laying there in my bed while there are wrecked ships a mile down sitting there, still, completely in the dark and cold, with fish swimming about them and each wreck has a story to tell that may never be told.
@Davvy Jannes Great story. Are you like 90 years old? :P
@Davvy Jannes I'm only fifty but I am never going to grow up, ever. LOL Okay, have a great week!
yep
damn dude, you're deep. want to be like them?
Davvy Jones what an enthralling post. Thank you. Pardon my simple take here, but the world is made up of those who wonder deeply and, too, braid that pondering into all of their days. Oh and then there are the ones who don't reflect on much at all.
Hoping you're writing much more about all the things.
Sending cosmic well wishes to you and yours in these trying times. 🙋🌊🔭🌌
Incredible footage. This channel keeps on giving, it never fails to move my biologists heart. :)
Cute message. You're adorable :)

You guys should think about streaming live on Twitch when you do the live broadcasts. It'd be a great way to reach out to young people, and might even raise some funds to help with expedition costs. Great footage, keep up the great work. You guys have the best job in the world.

"What the he'll are they doing?" - Fish probably
cptamerica13 good eye
Hahahahaha
Wth
He’ll ??
"Is this enough octopus for you, Joe?" Haha!
A string of octopuses! How interesting. Do all species starve to death as they protect the eggs?
I think many species that put out hundreds of potential descendants are dying shortly after fulfilling their duty. Those who produce only a few often survive it because they need to be brought up.
Who raises the baby octopi? Are they just born knowing how to find food, etc.?
@@briesthoughts2261 Yeah. Most animals that are born without parents (most fish and sea live in general) have a extremly strong natural instinct of what to do next.
Henry Sagehorn thank you 😊 they are such intelligent creatures I thought maybe they spend some time with their parent
@@briesthoughts2261 If they were taught stuff by their parents it would be the end of us.
Wow that's more Octopuses in one spot then I've seen in 10 years of diving! Amazing!
Those octopuses must have been yelling, "Hey, I'm broodin ovah heah!"
Unruly sun
What nails these videos is the commentary. And the clarity of the mic of the scientists.
Am I the only one that feels extremely sad while watching all of these good mommies taking care of their babies... knowing they're gonna die soon..... *sniff
... at least one deep sea octopus species survives, so maybe this is another that does?
What? octopus numbers are actually going up because of global warming, since they like warm water.
@@vinegarlegate24 actually he is talking about the fact mommies octopuses dies after taking care of their babies
Yes.
But imagine just how many more were born
"I'd like to be...under the sea....in an octopuse's garden...in the shade...
-a yellow sub is all you need....
So cool, sorry I missed that live stream. It's pretty special to be able to witness these things as they happen with you guys.
That is one of the coolest wildlife videos I've ever seen.
Octopus is such a fascinating and graceful creature...
smart too!
Monterey Bay Aquarium is awesome. The work that they do for conservation is incredible. Plus, not only do they have otters, they also have penguins. And turtles. You really cant go wrong.
I’m amazed how you guys aren’t more amazed!!! Isn’t this a first for the camera!??!
Great job guys!! Sending love from Singapore ❤️
Scientist: "We have a shimmer!"
Me:"Where, when, how? I dont see it."
They are talking about the shimmer or distortions in water, caused by hot water rising from the seeps.
I've always wondered the effects of the rover lighting on each individual species. Is there any data on that sort of thing? Loved this post! 🤘
@@BoyBlunder66 Seeing as though most of these species haven't been exposed to light for thousands of years, it would be awesome to see how exactly they each react.
Except potentially those who might be guarding eggs.
That would be hard to test because to do a real scientific test, you need to compare how they react to lighting and how they react without lighting.
I would compare it to looking at the face of god levels of awe.
@@greenxmango8049 can't we use night vision cameras or goggles?
I could watch these videos all day.
.. and I am.
octopuses also love thermal baths...in a very peaceful place !
I would ask younger generations To appreciate the etraordinary technological advancements - in my lifetime - to make this possible. And away from the bonds of the classroom. (No choice in the matter, zero opportunity to binge out.)
Very much enjoy and appreciate you sharing your excitement and yourselves. I can't imagine how much support behind the scenes, production. Thank you.
I was just telling my husband, like, the internet and on top of that y'all at EVNautilus!! I cannot tell you how PROFOUNDLY GRATEFUL I am for you!! We are living in such an amazing and exciting time! Because of ppl like you, I can literally, honestly say, I have learned MORE in the past 20 years via the net and good ppl like you posting these AMAZING videos for us to see, than I learned in ALL of my years of schooling AND college!! I can also say, that my 18 year old autistic son (VERY high functioning, high IQ!) has learned more on the internet than in school. (Of course he was always that rare kid that didnt get on the internet a do SM or play games! He is ALL about the educational sites!) LOL! WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO! THANK YOU!!
this is quickly becoming my favorite channel
so many cool things here
Was awesome to see this live guys :)
I can't stop watching these videos on this channel. This one is by far the best. I don't know why, bt I've always thought/imagined that Octopuses brute their eggs away from everyone else. Like when I watch under the ocean docs, they aways so one lone momma 🐙 & her eggs deep in a crack/ crater where other ocean life can't get to the eggs?! Never did I imagine a whole oven floor of them strung out for what seems like miles...
I find them absolutely hypnotic! Octopus are one of my very favorite beasties!! They are amazing, intelligent and beautiful! What kind of octopus are these? Anyone know?? They are such a pretty color!
and don't forget they are delicious on the grill 😊
Summon Toofak you monster
@@jrmetmoi no I'm not you are a hypocrite
Muusoctopus robustus
That is a huge amount of octopus that are all brooding. Amazing to see so many in one place.
this is by far my favorite EVNAUTILUS ever so many OCTOs so many eggs very fascinating to see them encase the egg sak with their bodys beak out just amazing
Awesome footage and all that, but... what's the hush-hush deal with Andrew @ 1:47? 😁
Andrew the octopus
Big fan of your work guys. This is jaw dropping.
For normal eyes, it's just octopus taking a chill.
Wow! I've seen a lot of nature documentaries and footage, but this is definitely a first! Truly incredible!
I'm begginning to love the ocean and thats thanks to you guys! Thank you!
What a wonderful discovery! Thank you for taking us along for the journey.
My favorite part of these videos is hearing the biologists commenting.
thank you so much for the amazing content, time and time again. invaluable!
Any chance you can put some depth and heading, etc overlay the live feed? Please (rov guy)
Christopher Scobie He/She did, it was in the very beginning 0:02 “Southsea Davidson Seamount, 3180m”
What's the significance of the"shimmer" around 3:00?
It shows that there is a cold fluid seep, maybe methane?
@@peterwatson4634 methane? you mean the octopus are farting?
They think it might be heat spots that the octopi (?) are flocking to incubate their eggs
@@SammMannPittsThe plural of octopus is either octopuses or octopodes, not *octopi.
🤦🏽♂️ I found y'all page at 11pm.... I can't stop it's 1:45am
“Massive Aggregations of Octopus Brooding Near Shimmering Seeps” lol that’s quite the mouthful.
Three rivers of Octopus.
To an incredible Team :-).
I genuinely cannot thank you enough for this site......
It is truly amazing and to have the opportunity to go work every day and love what you do. It really cannot get better than that!!!! 😊. Proud of you all. There really is something magical about Octopi....... They have stolen my support heart ♥. This is the best YT site by far and I hope that you have some loyal and devoted followers :-). Science is just fascinating..... I love Symmetry in Nature 🌏 🌲 🍂 as well 😊. It is also wonderful as well to hear Academics talking..... 😊.
Love and best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧 💚. Keep Safe XxX ❤
Its disturbing how they looks like alien facehugger from afar
спасибо за такие прекрасные съемки!!!
Such amazing footage. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing - the footage is super beautiful and your discussion wonderfully enlightening and entertaining! Please, do post more! 👍❤️
Holy octopi breading ground, Batman!
Ugh, you got me guys, I guess I gotta subscribe xD You've shared so much amazing footage with us all! Truly an amazing world under the sea
these octopi are just hanging out at the octopus version of the seafloor liquor store waiting for the po-po to roll up on 'em and harass them for being in the octopus gang, lol
woah! i've never seen something like this (and i've watched a lot of documentaries), great job Nautilus' ppl :)
this was the dive that broke the vehicles iirc. good luck with repairs in San Diego
The female octopus lives only 3 years. They mate in the second year, and once they have produced eggs, they never eat again, because they spend all their time guarding their young. They starve to death about the same time their young become capable of independent life, and mum may be their first meal.
That is a A LOT of octopus (octopuses? Octopi?) in one location!
It is very encouraging to know that octopus still congregate to brood
Those sea stars are trying to infiltrate, but I'm not fooled!
So beautiful. Nature sure makes some awesome things. Such a treat. Love you guys!
Finally something not dying in the Fukushima radiation or getting ripped apart from the inside by the blip.
Awesome view. People need this perspective that there is much to explore and experience here. Perspective leads to growth.
I was expecting at every moment that the mother of all of them appears.
Why do it seem that the octopus are all wrapped around rocks? And, also, whee did you shut this? Absolutely fascinating! Thank you!
Simple joys of marine biology. 🦑🦐🦞🦀🐙😊❤️
Egg? I only see octopus play around but their eggs are not in sight.
The eggs are hard to see because the mothers are covering them with their heads and bodies. At 0:17 if you look at the upper left, you may be able to see white teardrop-like shapes peeking out from under the octopus's legs. Those are the eggs.
Imagina tryna sleep and some dude come shining the brightest light ever in ur face thinking u are walking to the light daymn
What an amazing video.I never knew that there is so many of theses little creatures around.Thanks for sharing this video.
Not to sound completely ignorant, even though I am when it comes to life on the sea bottom, what is the "shimmer" that is being talked about? Is it shiny octopus eggs, that I cannot seem to see or the temperature difference in the water?
Well, that's one way to celebrate Halloween.
I read “Massive Aggregations of Octopus” as “Massive Aggressive Octopus ”. Can y’all see why I’m this confused and mildly disappointed?
+1
Biologists: "What are they doing?" "Don't ask me, I took biology because it's easy" "I think those are plastic bottles"
2:22 "Oh, this has a lot of amenenemones" ... Nemo, is that you?
... Uh-oh ... the octopi have had enough, *they're makin' their move ...*
have you been to the great barrier reef yet ? we snorkled atblue pearl bay it was amazing, great footage glad to see youth enjoying their work ;) how exciting to see so many creatures we will never see in our lifetime good on ya mates ;)
The optopus and the potatoes are very good friends
So amazing to see this ... thank you for sharing this with us!!
hell of a octopus eggs so many lol
Wow you could be there all day and that would fascinate me. I wish I could see longer videos of this
Octopus: "AHHHH I'M ARRIVINGGG!"
Scientists: "nice"
that's wild that they're just all partaking in nap time
This is what I hope to me when I become a Marine Biologist. Discover new creatures in the ocean. I don't know much about what Marine Biologists do but I'm sure it will be amazing. Do you guys have fun doing what you do?
I'm not in your field, but I have a different perspective regarding learning in general. I'm not against the interest of discovering new things, but the excitement wears off pretty quickly for me. I would rather study something very deeply and find useful knowledge. For example, what can we learn from jellyfish that might help human beings?
I wanna be a pimp and wear like a giant leopard skin hat and walk around with a cane. I know this is outside your field of study but do you have any tips?
@@chunkyMunky329 at least one species is able to reverse its aging, become a baby (polyp) and then return to adulthood. How does that work? Could our old cell be taught to regenerate?
that's just one example.
@@TragoudistrosMPH That's very fascinating
i wonder if brooding in groups serves some sorta purpose? or is it just a nice brooding spot lol
very good work! Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Is this octopus breeding/brooding ground a new discovery ?? So cool 🤩🤩
Mars: o look there's a rock which looks like a face
Earth: am I'm a joke to you?
That's a beautiful cosmopolite right there.
Amazing! Never seen this before ! Is there a reason to the line up or any specific design to the formation of these octopus? Thank you .
Ive been watching almost all your very nice videos. Can I ask something? How do octopus and anemonies with their fragile body can withstand high pressure on deep sea? Thank You.
*Fish at **0:34* _"Y'all gonna eat those eggs?"_
Octopus: no! These our babies!
So beautiful but its a shame all those octopi are going to die :(
wait why
That’s amazing! So how many eggs does each octopus brood over?
Judging by the size in the brief capture we get around 0:23, probably a dozen or so.
The octopi look sort of like sea enemeny with their tentacles like that, wonder if that's a defense mechanism.
my theory: they mimic the starfish by holding that pose, because they have less predators in that area...
Yes please,a basket full of octopuses! Sooooo cute
its really weird because i had a dream a few nights ago about a man holding a hunch of weird sea creatures that were shaped like how these octopuses are resting.
are there any sea creatures that happen to look like that shape?
Spineless urchins?
Speechless. So beautiful and special.
Whoaaaaa!! I have never seen anything like this before!! Wow!!
My favorite sea creature
OMG that's a lot of octillerys!!....... ; )....
I’m sorry for asking the dumb question, but what is brooding? Anyone please I just happened to come across this channel , an I find myself more interested in the videos always great vid by the way thanks!
Sitting on eggs I think
this is better than the mini octopus city, this is so massive, like a colony, they must be more intelligent than what we think
What did you see that makes them "more intelligent than what we think"? I didn't see them doing anything clever in this video.
@@chunkyMunky329 these animals are usually nomad and rarely interact with eachother, seeing them in such a huge aglomeration can tell us something about their social skills, which are important since that way a species can transfer knowledge
@@alejandrorobles6865 Yeah but you're assuming a hell of a lot without any sophisticated evidence. You see lots of octopus and automatically assume that it proves that they are way more smart than we previously thought. If social skills make an animal super smart does that mean that antelopes are the smartest non-human creatures on the planet? No. I'm not saying that you're wrong. I'm just saying that you're jumping the gun here. You don't have enough evidence.
@@chunkyMunky329 well i said maybe, you dont need to take it too seriously, this isnt a sciemtific discussion forum and neither you or i have seroous data to prove eachother wrong, you are new ro the internet i guess, this is no place for snowflakes
@@alejandrorobles6865I think you should re-read the conversation. I asked you to clarify what you saw that made you think that they "must be more intelligent". And then when you couldn't back it up with anything substantive I told you that. How exactly does that make me a snowflake? I think you're the snowflake for being so offended by a very polite discussion. I took your point seriously and gave you the opportunity to educate me. I was completely open-minded and never insulted you. I never said anything aggressive or troll like. You're really projecting your own issues onto me. All I did was mention my opinion about your statement. That's how an intellectual discussion works. One person gives their opinion about the subject and another person gives theirs. You instead are resorting to ad hominem.
Is this location inside the bay our outside? Do you do other locations or do you keep it in Northern Cal?
We should call this octopus City because there are so many of them here 😁
