    The sequence at 4:22 of the octopus pattern matching with the algae has to be the most amazing footage of sea life ever captured on film. Simply breathtaking!

      +Sean Maher no he wasn't. this guy came to my door once and I said "what do you want?" and he said, "sir I'm sorry to bother you but I'm lost and stranded, and need to get home and need bus fare" so I said "well how much do you need" and he said about tree fiddy ($3.50) then I realized he was a incrustation from the paleolithic era and I said "GET OUT OF HERE YOU DAMN LOCHNESS MONSTAH, YOU NOT GETTIN MY TREE FIDDAY"

    Man, I often ONLY LISTEN to ted talks, while I'm working on art projects, but I HAD to stop AND LOOK AT THIS ONE! I could HEAR what this guy was describing and I couldn't even concentrate on what I was doing! I thought: "Whoa! I gotta see this!" I hear the word "OCTOPUS" and I'm all ears AND eyes! Probably the most incredible and intelligent creature on our planet! Just mind boggling!!

    I have been lucky enough to observe and interact with octopi whilst diving on many occasions,they never cease to amaze me and if time allows I will sometimes spend half an hour with one if I encounter a playful one, but I never persevere if the animal appears in any way perturbed.The first time one of them reached out a tentacle to touch my hand and give it a tug blew my mind. Please don't eat them if you can help it.

    • @pirut1
      @pirut1 Před 10 lety +1

      I'm totally with you. These are my most favorite animals in the ocean. I'm envious that you were able to play with one. While I love the ocean I get a little nervous in the water. I equate eating these animals to eating a dog.
