    My grandpa had a 250 gallon reef aquarium. He went to a Japanese seafood place and saw this little octopus in an aquarium. He ended up buying him and saving him from someone's dinner. Otto stayed alive for about 30 years. He wanted for nothing and enjoyed the puzzles grandpa made with plastic tubes, mason jars full of crabs and others. I swear Otto watched tv lol. He would come out every now and again go to the other tank and help himself to a clown fish which made him more intriguing. Grandpa died and Otto died a few hours later. Otto was buried with Grandpa

    00:49 - The Octopus grabbing the divers finger to help push was mind blowing. Then when it swam away to face the diver and came back to help push, that was just about the most adorable thing I have ever seen. The fact that the Octopus was able to figure out that a much larger creature could move large objects, and took advantage of the opportunity is incredible.

      Oldest known octopus has lived 328 million years ago, they are an amazingly well evolved specimen that outlasted 99% of all the species that ever lived. Perhaps that relatively shorter lifespan is the result of millions of years of evolution and not something to be sad about.

      @@onatgomceli6950evolution is not exactly something we should treat as good or welcoming. It’s a brutal process. And shorter lifespan creatures do tend to be better suited to survive because they create offspring faster than animals that take potentially decades to have offspring. All those years in between come with great risks.
      But again, the fact that shorter lifespans are more suited for the survival of the overall species is not a good argument for saying shorter lives aren’t sad.

    This reminds me of the incredible 2020 Netflix documentary named My Octopus Teacher. A lovely, poignant story about a guy who free-dived down into an underwater South African kelp forest (near Cape Town, SA) where he befriended an octopus. It was fascinating to see the development of their relationship over a year until the octopus mated, laid numerous eggs and naturally died. That part was super sad. When their bond had developed and he would visit (almost daily), the octopus would occasionally lay against his chest to cuddle for several minutes. He got to see her live, eat, and defend herself from sharks. The doc won a well-deserved Academy Award.

    This is one of my favorite Dodos ever. Diver Elora was so kind to bring interactive toys to Egbert and challenge his natural intelligence. Egbert is a sweet creature with a definite personality all his own. ❤🐙

    Thats awesome. You can tell a lot about the true character of a person by how they treat life smaller than themselves.

      They don't live very long which always bothered me a bit about nature. It's one of the things that seems not fair, theyre so intelligent. They shouldn't be eaten imo. If they overpopulate sure. But they usually dont like fish can....
      They stay in small numbers and tend to go solo. They can hunt for food on land temporarily if they have to.... Theyre fascinating

      @@holeindanssock156 Just like rats, they seem to be so intelligent but also have such short lifespans.
