I am Japanese. I watched your video for the first time. Honestly, I was moved by your video. Not only was it entertaining to watch the intelligence and dexterity of octopuses, but the ecology and evolutionary mechanisms of octopuses were explained in a very easy-to-understand manner, and the composition of the video was reminiscent of a TV documentary to keep you entertained. Also, personally, I'm very happy to see Japanese translations. This sentence was written using Google Translate, so I'm not sure if it's conveyed accurately, but I'd like to continue watching your wonderful videos. Thank you for a very enjoyable time!
While it's sad the octopus has such a short life span, I read in a book it's theorized the octopus experiences time differently than us due to the sheer amount of information they're processing basically all the time. I'd like to think in those really brief moments where they swim up and touch humans, it's like they're having days long conversations just from simple touch and taste and smell. And idk. Thinking about this just makes me reflect on how we can stretch out our perception of time just by noticing and appreciating all the things around us similar to the octopus.
Hey Mark, if you want to complete the “Land, Sea, and Air” Trifecta, you should do Ravens/Crows next. I’m sure you know, but they’re also incredibly intelligent.
2:22 Atually they aren't unmatched: Cuttlefish, a cousin species to octopuses, have extremely precise shapeshifting and color changing way beyond the capabilities of octopuses. There is an excellent video by NOVA called Kings of Camouflage about Cuttlefishes.
As an animator once tasked with animating an octopus, I could tell their arms had independent intelligence. It’s the most difficult thing to animate bar none. Almost impossible to do it all 100% correct without cheats.
What’s the proof they have intelligence in the arms tho? Like what is the specific biological difference in their arms?? we have gray matter in our spines that also process and integrate (make decisions) without needing to go to our main brain. To me it just seems like standard sensory information from the peripheral nervous system being processed the same way we do our automatic responses.
@carsonhunt4642 So you're asking an animator about this? Like that's the profession that's gonna give you all of the info about this and make it correct.
@@carsonhunt4642well for one it you chop it off it keeps doing things, there's even been cases of octopus arms continuing to hunt after being separated from the body, draging food into a mouth that isn't there
Ok so a bit of background i am a 3D Modeler/Animator i was once given a project to sculpt and animate the character now the keypoint that the client needed was Realism so i had to make it lifelike 15 Hours........for 15 Hours i tried mimicking a creature that has no bones and basically works like a Sentient Alien Blob Of Goo . within those hours one of they key things i learnt is that octopus like the Cartoons or as an Animated character is much better and less time consuming than trying to understand an alien morphology and @carsonhunt4642 The proof is the literal fact that after getting an arm cut, the severed arm still manages to blend in and stay alive for almost an hour, this is not muscle spasms , its almost like an individual consciousness in short the severed tentacle is now sentient tho it cant feed itself (or anything in that matter) it will bide its time doing what a single copiousness with limited time would do Survive i dont think any other creatures in our planet other than squids and octopus have such an ability (i may be wrong , we know more about space than we do our own oceans 🤷♂)
It’s incredibly interesting that so much brainpower is in a “prey animal.” I know they are predators too but they live their lives assuming something is gonna eat an arm.
@@maggiee639Brainpower is a lot more useful for creature in the middle of the food web. Knowing when something is food or if it's death is very important, and requires a lot of intelligence to intuit.
Judging from the decreasing attention span of humans, I believe that they will take over, if they can survive the global destruction that humans have made.
Had a discussion with my professor about this! We firmly believe that the things that really set octopi aside from being far more advanced than they could be is their shortened lifespan. If they could live longer and possessed intergenerational knowledge like our ancestors did then they'd be well on their way to turning into a species capable of stuff like language, culture, etc!
I really think Mark should make Sashimi the mascot for Crunch Labs, even if she's been released, I think she represents everything that Crunch wants to represent, clever thinking, playfulness, a bit of sass, and ingenuity! An octopus is the perfect creature for something like this, and she's adorable and deserves to be remembered fondly for years to come!
This was so interesting! I was sad when you said their lifespan was less than two years. You deserve all the subscribers you have . As a senior citizen I found this fascinating. Can’t wait to see what animal you introduce us to next. This also helps people to have respect for other creatures in this world.
I love octopuses, and their short lifespan is heartbreaking. If their lifespans were longer, and they didn't live in solitude, they would probably have conquered the world.
This is an amazing journey you've had with Sashimi! I am truly in awe of her intelligence and your dedication. You captured the essence of exploration and curiosity beautifully, and I am looking forward to more.
@@Carl...CRL... I think we're still on the "first they ignore you" stage for that one. Same place as abiotic oil formation, despite that one literally being used by oilmen the world over... I guess people aren't ready to stop calling them "fossil fuels" yet.
It’s actually so unfathomably incredible how amazing octopi are… like they’re unbelievably clever and have so many tactics like flexibility or camouflage!! These creatures should be protected at all costs, just like any…
And they all just learn it by themselves. Because the mother dies before her offspring is born, there is no 'cultural' way of relaying information, which has been hugely important for us to get where we are. We even see it in some of the great apes who use tools to get something done and teach it to their group mates. Who can imagine what incredible things octopi could do if they were able to teach the next generation. If they ever figure out, they might easily outsmart us.
@@Win7ermu7e So is octopodes, which is my personal favorite. Especially when someone says "It's octopi, not octopuses" and I get to be a petty dingus slapping back with "Octopodes numbnuts, it's Greek not Latin!"
Octopuses display their emotions with color. It’s great to see her go from pale to darkly colored in your early montage of introducing and getting to know her.
translating The dubbing and translation are so excellent.I was really impressed by the fact that it was actually sashimi in the original language version.
Sashimi is AMAZINGLY intelligent. It’s such a joy watching what you come up with as the obstacles. Your narrative speed as well as how you explain what’s happening and why. It’s a great way to review our past science classes. Happy New Year and have a prosperous year.
@@maeganlozano7058yeah, but there might be a plot twist... some other hunters might hunt her again and she would end up on someone's plate instead of staying as a beloved pet. But oh well, I hope that was not the case
Alright your all being rude What makes you think he's an npc And im pretty sure this has the same amount of facts as a regular class Let people appreciate others
there's an amazing book called the soul of an octopus where a researcher spends a few years with 5 or so different octopus, each of them had different personalities and mannerisms. Incredible creatures!!
Pretty cool.. just wish we had a video with no cuts of her actually doing the puzzles. Every few seconds he’s cutting and showing a cutaway of some stuff I’m not interested in. He can explain that in the voice over
I went from wanting a pet octopus to learning so many cool facts about them, then to being sad they have such a short lifespan. I wasn't expecting that roller coaster. So glad you released her ❤
If you back to that tidepool and wade in like you did, she will know your there and will come and visit you. Divers discovered this by making friends with octopuses and every time they returned to that area of water the octopuses would show up to see them after a short amount of time so you can go and see her again 😊 This has to be one of the best videos on the whole of the internet ! I hope sushimi is ok out there in the wild !
@@chriswestring1974Thank you for you’re recommendation. I’m going to go and search for it now. I find these creatures fascinating and hope people realise that it’s time to stop eating such a majestic, intelligent and emotional animal xxx
@@SpydersByteI agree, they remember people well and must be able to recognise a chemical when the person is In the water as the come out straight to them. They are way more intelligent that we know of and I think over time with more research’s we will find out a lot more incredible facts of this animal and what it’s truly capable off 🐙 ❤
@@TheDarkNerdcorvids would be the most interesting, if you were gonna do raptors, it would be hard to train them or have them do something similar to the squirrels and the octopus.
I teared up at the end of the video, seeing your dedication to the preservation of our planet and incorporating the scientific method despite how much you cared for the octopus was really touching and incredible to watch :)
I thought it was fascinating to hear that it took her about a month to train on all the obstacles. I'd love to see more footage of her exploring and figuring out each section and how that process worked - did you introduce them independently in her tank or put her in the obstacle course for training sessions?
Yeah if it wasn't for that one line at 14:44 where he says it took about a month, the power of editing would appear as if she did it all in one sitting. Impressive, but still a little deceiving.
I think the true test should've been a bunch of live shrimp. Make sure she can actually hunt still. (To be clear, I mean instead of the pile of dead shrimp and crustaceans, it should've been a bunch of live shrimp in the vault. This way, even if some escape, you get confirmation she can hunt.)
In ten years from now, we can thank Mark for giving us the Octopus Invasion as Sashimi's puzzle solving descendants attempt to colonize the surface world to find their adoptive ancestor and their next puzzle challenge.
After a couple weeks; return there, to the same spot you last held her. Sit in the water for a little bit, half hour or more. She might come back, she knows you quite well at this point. ☺️
I'm a Japanese high school student. This video was very interesting and the explanations were logical and easy to understand. Thank you for the exciting time you gave me. I hope the octopus is happy.
i love the octopus because it totally challenges what we think of as "intelligence". in scifi we always see fully fledged alien species that have language and fully developed senses of self, which mimics our own intelligence. but when you look at how smart octopi are, totally lacking anything we'd perceive as self aware or critical thinking skills, we really open the door as to what a truly "intelligent" alien species might look like.
"blindsight" by peter watts covers this as a theme -- that you could have highly intelligent behaviour without requiring "sentience" or "self-awareness". it considers our (human) sentience an accident.
This was AMAZING. I would love to see a Raven Experiment at some point, they are some of the most fascinating and intelligent creatures in the world and their puzzle-solving abilities are insane
@@fischris Yupp, somewhat new feature currently in beta for select channels. And yes, it's a bummer not able to configure it to keep certain languages untranslated :/
I'm seriously so awed by how much I just learned about octopi in a single video. The best part is, it didn't even FEEL like I was watching an education-geared video-- that was just pure entertainment!
@@notzombie3703 It really isn't. The word never actually existed in Greek, so using a Greek declension doesn't make a lot of sense, despite the half-Greek, half-Latin roots. The word was first coined in Latin, but it was modern scientific Latin, not common usage, so the need for a plural form wasn't really pressing. It didn't become a common word until it was used in English, so using the English plural probably makes the most sense.
I don't do any social media and I never write comments unless it is for a person I know, but, Mark, Rober, you are an exception. I am a science teacher frustrated by the lack of curiosity and the disinterest my students show in science. I shared your squirrel videos with everyone I knew. I am so glad to find you again, not only expanding your repertoire but also getting these brilliant activities into kids' hands. Thank you for showing everyone the awesome superpowers of these amazing octopuses and pumping up the next generation about STEM.
Thanks for being a teacher! I'm now 27 and I still every once in a while have a vivid flashback to a very cool or enlightening moment from my teachers, even back to 2nd grade (sometimes earlier). A video like this totally would've made the cut. Hope your students remember you as one who made learning fun and exciting, as I do now for a number of my teachers.
It's not just the "interesting" part. The part that's surprising is if you'll check intelligent species and how close they are to human (monkeys, pigs, cows, dolphins or crows), it's like we are close to anything but octopusses.
Its a rabbit hole for sure. And as said, its 100% alien and what actually got me interesting in both diving and ufo's in the first place. Im sure they are 1000* more intelligent than humans and theyre just solving puzzles for our entertainment.
I was so engrossed in this! I learned so much and became emotional at the end. I can not wait to learn more about them. Thank you so much for this fascinating plethora of information regarding this distinct creature.
I'm so impressed by everything. But honestly, Mark, with all you've witnessed, you clearly had an attachment to Sashimi. I know it had to be hard for you to let her go knowing what would come next. I'm in tears because you really took care of her. You made sure she knew what to do when she returns home, and you didn't break down. That's really admirable. Letting go of that attachment is really hard for anyone, mammal or mollusk. I am curious what she thought about you. Having three hearts, eight mini brains, and a central brain, I imagine she had some sort of emotion beyond curiosity. I'm sure she was sad too.
It would be interesting to figure that out from a scientific standpoint. Don’t let random people on the internet that lack emotional intelligence make you self-conscious about such a thought.
Honestly, it feels like the fact that they live relatively short lives compared to humans really stifles their growth in intelligence. If they lived longer, and were a bit less solitary, then they could easily rival humanity as the dominant species of the planet.
@@overseerpjoe9477what??😂😂 Sorry, but no. Given that octopi can only live out of water for 1 hour, it doesn’t matter how smart they get if they can never get to us. They’re limited by their small bodies, need for water, and short lifespan.
@@John_NYT what??😂😂 Sorry, but no. Given that humans can only live in water for 10 minutes, it doesn’t matter how smart we get if we can never get to them. We’re limited by lack of natural weapons on need for air.

It's wild that you can just buy an octopus from a pet shop there. Now I wonder if there's a legend being passed down by a line of octopus about their ancestor who's been made to do puzzles by this strange land dwelling creature and being rewarded by a motherlode.
@@TheFrenyou can’t usually. They went to somewhere specific. A lot of states don’t even allow exotic pets at all because people don’t know how to care for them or care to learn
No because at every generation all adults have died once the octopus is born or on the verge to and they have to learn everything on their own from scratch
@@Dany_Stormbornthought* If that doesn't clear it up, the other person was conveying that the transition from the vault to the overhead ocean shot was well done. The last bit is basically emphasis and acknowledgment
And the unfortunate thing about their short lifespan is that because of this, they can't transfer knowledge to their offspring, meaning each individual is starting with zero knowledge. Imagine octopi being able to teach their hatchlings optimal problem solving and each generation upgrading their knowledge base. Great video!

*SUSHI MI* 💀💀💀💀💀💀
OH DANG 4 LIKES IVE NEVER GOTTEN THAT MANY 😆
I thought it was fascinating to hear that it took her about a month to train on all the obstacles. I'd love to see more footage of her exploring and figuring out each section and how that process worked - did you introduce them independently in her tank or put her in the obstacle course for training sessions?
I assume that she just took her time and then went back to her tank when she was done
Yeah if it wasn't for that one line at 14:44 where he says it took about a month, the power of editing would appear as if she did it all in one sitting. Impressive, but still a little deceiving.
I think the true test should've been a bunch of live shrimp. Make sure she can actually hunt still. (To be clear, I mean instead of the pile of dead shrimp and crustaceans, it should've been a bunch of live shrimp in the vault. This way, even if some escape, you get confirmation she can hunt.)

Did you learn English??? Or have you grown up learning English as you grew?
i love the octopus because it totally challenges what we think of as "intelligence". in scifi we always see fully fledged alien species that have language and fully developed senses of self, which mimics our own intelligence. but when you look at how smart octopi are, totally lacking anything we'd perceive as self aware or critical thinking skills, we really open the door as to what a truly "intelligent" alien species might look like.
"blindsight" by peter watts covers this as a theme -- that you could have highly intelligent behaviour without requiring "sentience" or "self-awareness". it considers our (human) sentience an accident.
True!

I know! Mark is amazing! Here's another educational fact about octopus, the dictionary plural is technically octopedes
@@notzombie3703 It really isn't. The word never actually existed in Greek, so using a Greek declension doesn't make a lot of sense, despite the half-Greek, half-Latin roots. The word was first coined in Latin, but it was modern scientific Latin, not common usage, so the need for a plural form wasn't really pressing. It didn't become a common word until it was used in English, so using the English plural probably makes the most sense.
Octo-what?

I don't do any social media and I never write comments unless it is for a person I know, but, Mark, Rober, you are an exception. I am a science teacher frustrated by the lack of curiosity and the disinterest my students show in science. I shared your squirrel videos with everyone I knew. I am so glad to find you again, not only expanding your repertoire but also getting these brilliant activities into kids' hands. Thank you for showing everyone the awesome superpowers of these amazing octopuses and pumping up the next generation about STEM.
Thanks for being a teacher! I'm now 27 and I still every once in a while have a vivid flashback to a very cool or enlightening moment from my teachers, even back to 2nd grade (sometimes earlier). A video like this totally would've made the cut. Hope your students remember you as one who made learning fun and exciting, as I do now for a number of my teachers.

It's not just the "interesting" part. The part that's surprising is if you'll check intelligent species and how close they are to human (monkeys, pigs, cows, dolphins or crows), it's like we are close to anything but octopusses.
Its a rabbit hole for sure.
And as said, its 100% alien and what actually got me interesting in both diving and ufo's in the first place. Im sure they are 1000* more intelligent than humans and theyre just solving puzzles for our entertainment.

Nice to see that you released her. 👍😘
I'm so impressed by everything. But honestly, Mark, with all you've witnessed, you clearly had an attachment to Sashimi. I know it had to be hard for you to let her go knowing what would come next. I'm in tears because you really took care of her. You made sure she knew what to do when she returns home, and you didn't break down. That's really admirable. Letting go of that attachment is really hard for anyone, mammal or mollusk. I am curious what she thought about you. Having three hearts, eight mini brains, and a central brain, I imagine she had some sort of emotion beyond curiosity. I'm sure she was sad too.

Octopi are shockingly intelligent. It’s ludicrous. Nature really did them dirty giving them such small lifetimes
Honestly, it feels like the fact that they live relatively short lives compared to humans really stifles their growth in intelligence. If they lived longer, and were a bit less solitary, then they could easily rival humanity as the dominant species of the planet.
@@overseerpjoe9477what??😂😂

It's wild that you can just buy an octopus from a pet shop there. Now I wonder if there's a legend being passed down by a line of octopus about their ancestor who's been made to do puzzles by this strange land dwelling creature and being rewarded by a motherlode.

If that doesn't clear it up, the other person was conveying that the transition from the vault to the overhead ocean shot was well done. The last bit is basically emphasis and acknowledgment
And the unfortunate thing about their short lifespan is that because of this, they can't transfer knowledge to their offspring, meaning each individual is starting with zero knowledge. Imagine octopi being able to teach their hatchlings optimal problem solving and each generation upgrading their knowledge base. Great video!
Totally. If they lived as long as us and could pass that knowledge, they'd be the apex lifeform on this planet.
