out of how many? ''one of'' HOW MANY. what are your parameters for ''strangeness'' ? where are you drawing the upper and lower limits of what counts.. HOW MANY examples are in your set? ''one of the'' REQUIRES a numerical value / specified limits before it makes the least bit of sense.
@@thearmchairspacemanOGOr you can, you know, CHILL AND ENJOY THE VIDEO??!!??
Ha ha, Comedy!
Let us play a game shall we? Evolutionists say that everything came from nothing and everything is a random set of chances...Hmmm OK, your Brain came from a random set of chances, how can you BELIEVE your own thoughts? Hmmm how can you believe your thoughts when they are simply random chances of thought. How can any thought be called "Science"?
Cuttlefish and all cephalopods have always fascinated me. While swimming around the Florida keys I came across three tiny tiny squid and they would follow me around but when I looked at them they spread their little arms to look bigger. But would still want to go along with me. Was a great experience.
Very cool.
@loue6563, The way you describe this experience created such a vivid image in my mind of tiny, tiny squid trying to look big as they accompany you. I can even imagine the eyes! Thank you!🐙🐙🐙
Were they trying to figure out if they could swallow you whole? lol
@@pisachanation414 well since they were the size of my thumb nail. That would have been very ambitious of them. Lol
You fascinated them as well
This is the most detailed video on cuttlefish I've seen so far. They're really fascinating.
Jesus. It's blinking to match the Fast Flicker Rate of It's prey. It's literally hacking their visual cortex to become invisible. That's just so rad.
Great point!
Can you point to which timestamp(s) this happens at?
So rad! 😂
When my son was 4 years old I took him to the aquarium. I pointed and said “That’s a cuttlefish!”
After a long pause he turned to me and asked, “Do we cuddle with it?”
One of my favorite memories :)
That was very refreshing and it put a smile on my face, thank you for sharing this 😊
Proud moments!!!
Right! Seems like a logical question considering it's name.
"No son, they are an alien lifeform that can stun you telepathically and devour you with their beakholes."
I can imagine that warms ur heart every time u think of it. It certainly made me smile.😄
Imagine if they could pass on generational knowledge. Great documentary. Thanks.
That always struck me as a terribly sad fact about these creatures.
Humans and dogs have evolved together for the last 300,000 years.
Imagine if the octopus was long lived and could pass on its knowledge from one generation to the next...who knows what they'd be doing by now? What could they build with those bodies?
And imagine if humans had another species on the planet they could truly communicate with.
The octopuses (octopii?) and cuttlefish would probably use the squids as their soldiers. Giant and colossal squid are big, evil creatures...
Unfortunately, though, humans can't get along with one another, really. So I worry about what we'd do if there was another successful intelligent life form we could exploit.
Imagine being at war with our oceans...
The word you're looking for is "culture".
I would be more impressed if humans could pass on generational knowledge😂
@@YTsux100pct._of-the-time. Don't forget the 7 foot, 100 pound Humboldt squid that hunt in packs and schools of thousands. They recently expanded their hunting range to include my part of the world.
Coolest animal on this planet. I've always been obsessed with them
they are are wildly weird 😀
This feels like an early 2000's documentary lol, love it tho
It was aired on pbs in 2007, but the discovery of the toxicity of the flamboyant is referenced in a book from 2000 on Wikipedia, so it likely is from 2000. It seems a lot of these old documentaries are being dumped on TH-cam for ad revenue.
that means it's better
Those are the best except the horrible audio quality lol
And i think it is old. But then again, its called “free documentary” you cant expect a channel with that name to post fresh stuff. Only thing that matters is if you learn stuff from it🤷🏻♂️
I always forget 2000 was 24 years ago now, aging myself here but damn what a shock. Thanks for that.
In that pictures is so much work and effort. Hours of diving, watching, planning. Absolutely amazing
The colour/pattern/texture changes it goes through in under a minute while hunting that crab is just out of this world, absolutely *phenomenal* 🤯
They can actually change colors in less than the time humans take to blink
I was at the Ripleys aquarium and they had cuttlefish there. I ended up downloading a video of a cuttlefish flashing and I held it up to the tank. And they actually interacted with it. It was pretty amazing. They really weren't doing anything until I played the video.
First new show they've seen online in ages...
I bet they recognized it as another cuttlefish and were intrigued.
The description of the alien at the beginning almost described me perfectly, right up to the "clever" part.
My wife and i ..went to tenerife regularly we were by rock pools one day when i noticed a small cuttlefish moving across a pool white algie it turned exact same red algie blakc rock pink weed blue plastic it could blend with any thing ..i was amaised .i think you must find your work one longenjoyable study ..loved the vidio ..
The part about the flamboyant cuttlefish, I immediately recognised the Lembeh Strait shallow waters en black sands.
I've never seen that many diverse weird critters on a single dive.
With dive sites named Nudi Fals or Critters Hunt that really live up to their name.
I love it!
"Everyone's afraid of something..."
"Cuttlefish! They make lights, disco lights, to hypnotize their prey. Saw a documentary, it was terrifying."
I instantly thought of this quote, too, haha!
Why was it terrifying? Really?
@@angelo212 It's in quotations, and if something is in quotations it usually means it's a quote.
guy by the name Ken Criswell is the top cuttlefish guy in the world. You don't hear about him because from day one he's stayed behind the camera and does something ill never understand. many of the things known about the cuttlefish came from Ken. He let's other claim his findings and will never say anything about it. This is why you don't hear about him. He says as long as attn is being shown to the cuttlefish he's ok with it. Thats says ALOT about the man. He truly DOES care about them and does what needs to be done to help them. So just keep the guys name in mind and secretly thank him and know that most of the people you see that will talk about the amazing animal...all got their info from this Ken Criswell guy from Kentucky.
John cranewell. Got it!
What a mensch!!! Thanks for the info!
Great video! Everybody knows about squid and octopus but these little guys seem to be undeservedly forgotten. Amazing how they are so smart for such a short lifespan...
They are extremely well known and not forgotten by anyone at all, really.
Love this! Cuttlefish are my favorite marine animal. Thank you!!!
What I've always wanted to know about cuttlefish is that if a cuttlefish in captivity is not provided with the opportunity to mate, how long do they live?
Great question. I'm sure you must have googled it.
But without mating, is it a fulfilling life?
It lives 30 years longer. The female is an energy vampire.
I seem to recall that an average little octopus don't live longer than a year or two in captivity, but don't quote me on that... Meh, I'll look it up for you.. Yep, I was right, 1-2 years.
Generally speaking, animals who live in circumstances where they are unable to reproduce live much longer.... Less resources diverted to offspring/mates, less chance of injury or death from mate competition... Etc. however, i don't think this applies to these animals which are programmed to mate then die. Great question!
It was with great pleasure that I know about such strange marine animal as cuttlefisf. Thanks for the educational video.
Almost 20y.ago, a science professor at one of Arizona's universities saw a meteor crash near his house and went to the site. He saw an odd-looking rock with some green substance on it. He got a sample of it and decided to find out what the green substance was? He had it examined under an electron microscope, characterize it, etc., and the specs were fed into a mainframe computer to find a match. After over a day of computer time, the computer found a match! The green substance matched the DNA of an octopus!!
🙄🥱
Spectacular! I love all the cephalopods, however, I knew very little about cuttlefish.
Thank you for this!
It's quite amazing what cuttlefish can do with the "animated color displays" on their skin. Wow!
I've been face to face with Octopi in the ocean when I lived in Hawaii, so I knew first-hand their incredible powers of transformation.
If you are following along with an octopus across the coral and you look away for just one second they can take that moment to completely alter their skin color, pattern and texture.
They'll disappear.
Plus, what strength they have! If you hold a small octopus in your hand and he doesn't want to let go of you, well, mostly you lose. All muscle and even their tiny suckers are surprisingly strong.
Amazing creatures!
YES!!! I've been waiting for this documentary. Thank you so much for this amazing piece. I sure enjoyed it!!
This was amazing,this documentary made me staggered and that kind of footage was very startling Thanks a lot for this painstaking labor.
Those tiny babies coming out of their egg sacs make me wonder how similar the fluid inside is to the saltwater around it. Amazing little creatures ❤
If and when I ever get a tattoo it will be a cuttlefish. I had a little buddy that followed me for days while snorkeling.
STOP IT!! it's hypnotising me as well, amazing!!
I love when I can feel this change in my brain. It's like some pressure just evaporates. You know. Exactly like when you relax your muscles. Like something just switches places in my brain.
it’s true
Loved this documentary! Best I've seen in a long while! Thanks!
I love all of the octopods because they are so intelligent and if there is any other being that would be considered an alien it would be them but they are so much more intelligent than what we get them credit for
Thank you. This was very interesting.
Good documentary.❤
Cuttlefish truly are like underwater aliens with their incredible abilities! Their camouflage skills are nothing short of astonishing, blending seamlessly into their surroundings. And their intelligence? Absolutely remarkable for marine life. It's always so fascinating to learn about the diverse and mysterious creatures that inhabit our oceans. Cuttlefish definitely hold a special place in the world of marine biology due to their unique characteristics. Isn't nature just amazing with its variety of life forms? 🌊🐙👽✨
So damn fascinating.
Amazing!
- 16:37 they are super intelligent just like an octopus 🐙 . They have been known to outsmart some humans lmao 😂❤
They're amazing creatures, more alien than any aliens out there.
8:20 what if the cuttlefish ate that rubber/plastic lure? Wouldn't that potentially harm or kill it? 😕
Don't get me wrong I'm so stoked about this video. I love cuttlefish and this is the best doco on them yet. Thank you for posting this. 💜
Fascinating how they are able metamorphose their skin.
So informative
I love this show. Thank you for updating. Keep up the good work.💯✊💪
My Cuttlefish Teacher.
I absolutely love cuttlefish. So majestic and mysterious but also beautiful and so very cool. My next tat will be either American traditional or Neo traditional cuttlefish possibly catching a crab or a deep sea angler fish. Leaning towards the angler fish because I believe my artist would absolutely kill this! I already have a kraken tat on dragging down a clipper ship and the other arm has a sperm whale lifting a clipper ship up
سبحان الله العظيم! خالق السماوات والأرض ومن فيهن.
Amazing documentary! Thank you!
They let you follow them while they hunt. 😭😭😭😭💙💙💙💙
The colour/pattern/texture changes it goes through in under a minute while hunting that crab is just out of this world, absolutely phenomenal
Imagine this thing about as hundred times bigger, and have it perform that display on you... It would be pant shittingly terrifying before you die.
ADORABLE. So many types. Friendly. ✨
3:06 I have never, ever heard that pronunciation of the word cephalopod. lmao
Amazing.
Thank you 🇺🇸
In addition to unusually interesting content (always the case with cephalopods!), this video has exceptional audio quality and crystal-clear narration. Many thanks from a hearing-impaired viewer who has to give up on a lot of programs. Good work indeed here!
Very interesting!
I'm watching it. But I cannot believe these beautiful animals create this light shows.
The way they drift away after realising they wont get the crab is so funny. They give the look like.."ill get you next time, when your magic humans arent around!"
Wow 👍😁 I really enjoyed that 🌸 ty
Excellent one! I love it ,thanks
Sucha a BEAUTIFUL animal
I love these documentaries about cephalapods. There is another great 1 out there called "The octopus in my house" which is so good. If u like these types of programs try and catch that 1.
Aww rest in peace, Jesse. I miss him. He was such a nice man.
My absolute favorite fish. And I'm not alone. It's the best. ✨💃✨💙✨💜✨💚✨🌊✨😊✨
It’s not a fish.
Fascinating!
Amazing species on a cellular level a pinnacle of evolution
Thank you. Watching from Alaska.
That must be a wonderful experience to hand feed cuttlefish
Fascinating creatures. I've seen Sepia officinalis hunting co-operatively. Good documentary, music was over-used to the point of being annoying.
The tiny flounder at 37:45 is so smoll
You never realize on these videos how big some of these animals are until they're right beside a human.
Grabbing your arm for a snack realization comes quickly.
Very soothing. I listen to it most every night. Once I start the video, the next thing I know, it's morning and it's still playing. What a beautiful sound. This is helping so many people, I'm sure, with getting to sleep and staying asleep; peaceful rest. Truly, a blessing.
so cool!
wow
Thank you 👍
Cuttlefishes are delish!
That's awesome
Definitely has to be a cuttle octopus specie
The ocean is a alien world! 👽
They are so cute
I low-key wanna see a cuttlefish rave now
I’m thinking cuttlefish knowledge was involved when Cthulhu was dreamed up !
I love all of science.
They are Space aliens , definitely . Excellent video .
They are moluscs.
I understand they have a short lifespan and die after mating, not all get to mate ,do they live longer than those that do? What is the natural lifespan of the Cuttlefish? The Octopus and the Cuttlefish are my favorite too
They show some of the five observables in UAP research. Instant acceleration, signature manipulation, intelligent control, silent operation etc. lol.
Sooooooooo TH-cams can't find something to watch did great here lol ❤ ty also 9:08 same look I'd give if someone gave me no good food 😂
I am an alien and I can float through space. I do it every second Tursday.
Does it actually make that cool noise while it's doing a light show? Or is that just added sound effects?
I just amaze what people do if they can live underwater
They really are real life aliens. Cephalopods are the most interesting animal on the planet imo
🦑🐙Huge Respect!🐙🦑
It is kind of sad in away that such a fascinating ,intelligent beautifully amazing creature has such a short life span. It would be do cool if they could have a lot longer life span that they could become even more intelligent and cunning and who knows what they evolve to be like they are pretty remarkable gifts on our planet in my view.
The flamboyant cuttlefish is very poisonous, and you were poking it. Could not be me 😅
Wow the girls seemed to be more interested in the mirror imagine that lol
They don't "dazzle" the prey, they disorientate it. Look what it does with its "fins", it covers 180 degrees or more of the prey's visual field, the flickering likely makes an optical illusion that the prey perceives as its own movement, like sitting in a moving car looking out the window. One of those crabs jumped straight into the cuttlefish's beak, like it didn't know where it was going.
Did somebody say 'freeeee'?!
Cuddlefish
Nobody:
The Narrator: “The Family Trait,….. The Cuddle Bone”
I remember finding washed up cuttlefish shells on the beach as a kid
The information may save lives.
Cephalopods rock!!!! 🐙
They're useful to my parakeets.
