I voluntarily chose to stop eating Octopus & Cuttlefish due to their intelligence & I humbly suggest all us marine lovers do the same. The fact that they are the smartest invertebrates should be treasured. Thank you for your wonderful channel. It is a great educational resource about our beautiful wet planet & its great for kids!
Humans are significantly more intelligent than any lifeform on earth, which is why we have the cognition to supposedly take care of others, form technological advancement and space travel, the ability to understand the cosmos, cultures, art, sciences, self-expression, fashion, create businesses, program software, etc., something animals don't have. But we have absolutely no qualms in murdering each other, even the little/unborn ones. The irony and apathy of mankind towards itself is so depressing. Animals know by instinct that they are predators for some and prey for others - everything they do is for survival of their species alone. An octopus doesn't feel remorse when it eats its prey...neither do sharks, dolphins, and eels, when they hunt and eat octopuses/octopi. But ofcourse to each his own.
@@MariaIsabel_Fufuria That's right, and animals kill mostly when they are hungry or have to compete against a rival when it comes to mating. All that is driven by instinct. Only humans kill others or animals for fun, "sports" or profit. Hunters hang trophies of their "victims" upon walls. Men torture other animals for entertaining. The military abused dolphins to search for sea mines and little monkeys for land mines. The list goes on. I'm really not a PETA guy or something but the abuse of animals throughout history just because we can is another aspect we shouldn't forget. And I don't mean a horse doing farm work in ancient times. I think more of the conditions for animals in circus shows, theme parks, some older zoos, tamed wild animals in private possession a.s.o. All of this gets better as we overcome our former habits and care more for animals. But we really cannot be proud of ourselves if we think of what we have done in the past. The most horrific thing for me ist the illegal hunting of elephants to get their ivory teeth. One of the most precious animals of today's world is endangered of becoming extinct just because some asian guys still think they can get a hard-on from taking the pulverised ivory.
Two videos from you back to back on giant octopus, and a constant smile from me. Next life, I want a life in the blue world just like yours Jonathan. In a near future, maybe we can hope to be equipped with gills. They're so alien and so gorgeous at the same time.
After the cameras leave the two Octopi give each other a high 8 and say "another great show for the cameras" This is a great video. I love all of them, they remind me of a Sunday evening at my grandmothers and watching "Wild Kingdom" and every so often they would do a diving video.. I was glued to the Color TV when those came on.
I'm so glad to find this docu! I have read about Sy and Lucy in the wonderfull book "Rendevous with an Octopus"- and now I can see them, it's like seeing an old friend on television! 🙃🐙
The enclosure for the octopus’s seems small compared to their size when they swim. They usually have the ocean to swim in please give them bigger enclosures ✌🏾🌍💗🌸🙏🏾
I love his programs...his personality is so refreshing and educational and all the information he teaches makes me so happy to watch...he us the very best!!!!!!
Happy new year to all of you at the Blue World. May God continue to bless through all your challenges. it's always a treat to see the way these magnificent animals can camouflage themselves right before your eyes. Another great video and good information.
Your enthusiasm is really lovely. Also, your editor does a great job putting together footage. Thank you for this channel - it makes this fan of marine biology happy :)
I just wanted to say. Ever since I saw the Georgia Aquarium video, I have been inspired to make my dream a reality. Thanks to you, I get to swim with the whale sharks Georgia Aquarium. Thank you Jonathan. You are truly my favorite TH-cam channel. Thank you so much. Your amazing!
I’ve been to that aquarium. There was a sign by the octopus tank that said, “no flash photography.” Of course, people weren’t paying attention, and the octopus wouldn’t come out of its den. My friends were getting anxious to move on to the next exhibit. Having been a fan of the octopus as long as I remember, I told them I was not leaving until I saw an octopus. They left. Everyone left. I was standing there alone when I saw tentacle after tentacle reach out from within the den and feel around before it emerged completely. It was great! I think we shared a moment.
If you ever get a chance to visit, it's well worth the price of admission. If you're there at GPO feeding time, a staffer will often climb into the tank and sit up on the rock, using a pole to hand small bits of food to the octopuses while telling the crowd gathered around the base of the tank (with young children sitting on the carpet up front and center) all about them. There's also an open-top shallow tide pool where you can reach in and touch some of the creatures living there, which is really cool.
Soon I'll be able to fulfill my dreams and study oceanic creatures personally. The octopus is my all time favorite sea creature, just not sure why I have such a strong connection to it. I love your work, been watching ever since I saw the Giant Cuttlefish episode
You and I both, have no idea why I have always been attracted to these incredible beings on our Big Blue Planet!! Maybe we were both once an octopus. Hope I was a male. Females have drawn the short straw.
I find octopus so incredibly interesting! Creepy but beautiful at the same time. What I don't like though is why her tank is so small 🥺 as a GIANT octopus, you'd think the tank would be bigger.
* octopus. "Octopus" is both singular and plural for members of the same species, and "octopuses" for multiple species. "Octopi" is incorrect because "octopus" is Greek, not Latin.
As a boy i remember following Octopus while snorkelling in the Mediterranean. The locals used to catch and eat them so i always kept it quiet if i saw one and told nobody.
Excellent video, great footage. Most people would be surprised that as large as a pacific octopus is, it can squeeze through a hole barely 2 inches big. If an octopus can fit its beak through it, it can manage the rest. And by rest, I mean its three hearts, nine brains, and blue hemocyanin blood.
Pity the sir supply does not allow you to stay longer. I have never seen Octos fight!!. Amazingly amazing👌👌👌 Why are they placed in too small tanks in aquariums?
🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎Awesome touching examples with the octopus. You were showing a fair range of famileerization that was appropriately expressed with the assistance near the upper part of your arm. Lol, thanks for smiling from that memory. May i ask? how many dives do you think you have completed in life so far approximately? Thank you Jonathan Bird!
Sometimes we get lucky. Filming that octopus interaction was just plain luck. We have showed that sequence to people who dive out there all the time and they never saw anything like it.
Magnificent creature! Excellent footage. That fight in the wild was *epic!* Fantastic job, and a very well deserved luck in stumbling upon that army-of-tentacles' duel, Jonathan and team! Thanks for the video, mates.
Johnny I admire you work, you are so energetic that make me happy every time I watch you. It is great that you show us the places we can not dive. Just wanted to know if you can make an episode about your underwater filming techniques.Also I have a question. Once I dove in to a cave , I had canon g7x and a video light, the autofocus was on. Visibility was great but there were particles in the water that were lit by the video light, after the dive when I checked the videos I realized that most of the time my camera was out of focus.I think that the particles was the reason that the camera was focusing on them. What do you think?
First of all, be careful in caves! Second of all, it helps to move the light further away from the lens to reduce "backscatter"--try a much longer arm for the light.
Awwww I read about your aquarium in Sy's book! It's like I already know you!! And I love that you named the new octo after her, that's so perfect. She's my hero, I want to be a naturalist or teuthologist and study cephies
Now that what i was talking about! 20 minutes is the best time for an video 40 minutes u will get bored 10 is really short but 20 is the best! Keep it up Jonathan!
I love how much you care about these animals I’d love to see you at the Australia zoo with Robert Irwin, you remind me of Steve with your enthusiasm and conservation efforts and love for all
Serious PNW diver here... How many dives at Alki Cove 2 did you guys make to get those shots?!? I've probably dove there 200+ times, seen dozens of GPOs, and never witnessed an interaction like that. (And I'm definitely not bumbling around, silting the place out) Anyways, great work. Cephalopod palz 😍🐙
Being a Lake WA native, I can tell you that our summers are drier than a sunbleached bone in the savannah. We just started getting regular rain a few days ago! Washed all the ash from Maple Valley out of the sky.
Waw, marvellous underwater picture. Also, what kind of holothuria is it? It's sufficiently lager than our Stichopus japonica, which is usual in Japanese sea and Sakhalin waters
By far my favourite episode I love octopuses thanks Jonathan
Thanks for watching!!!

To me that would be like cannibalism. They are amazing creatures. I think if they lived longer they would be many times smarter than us.
I got to the same conclusion since yesterday when I started to do some research over octopus animals.
Humans are significantly more intelligent than any lifeform on earth, which is why we have the cognition to supposedly take care of others, form technological advancement and space travel, the ability to understand the cosmos, cultures, art, sciences, self-expression, fashion, create businesses, program software, etc., something animals don't have.

Rock on!
Octopus are a amazing creatures of the sea 🐙😃 so very smart
Yes they are!
I love them octopus ❤😃👍
The tank design atthe Seattle aquarium looks fantastic

"Octopus" is both singular and plural for members of the same species, and "octopuses" for multiple species. "Octopi" is incorrect because "octopus" is Greek, not Latin.

Because they are shy and will hide at the far corner where nobody will see them.
@@BlueWorldTV Doesn't that stress them out?
What an amazing creature. ❤❤
Thanks so much for this video your all videos very very inspiring to me
Nice video !

They've been my special interest for years and years. I still need to read the first book
omg that must be so cool a Pacific octopus crawling up your arm
I love octopuses and kraken
Love it! Such a great channel! My whole family loves you. Keep up the awesome work! Thanks for what you do.
Another stunning display of immense artistic talent. Thank you Jonathan.
Glad you enjoyed it!
excellent....again is worth the premium
The octopus at 3:26 is so big! It’s so cool!!!!😎
Great video. Love the music.
Fajna zabawa z octopusem ;-) lubię ośmiornice za ich inteligencję.
So much in this vid!!! Suckered & squirted, feeding time, even seeing a friend of sharky!!! Then, of course, there are the octopods!!!
No inkie inks makes Tiny Rogerts a sad fellow
Jonathan: How do i taste i took a shower?
Sy the octupus: U TASTE HORRIBLE
Added to bucket list is to visit that aquarium.
To try that weird feeling😂

They are pretty common up there, especially on night dives.
Jonathan Bird, I am so glad to be invited to your world!
Thanks for filming that awesome encounter!
Well information. Good show. Well show.
Aaawwww ❤ it’s soooo lovely to see this intelligent creature de mare.
Awesome video
Very good video. Thank you
I love how much you care about these animals I’d love to see you at the Australia zoo with Robert Irwin, you remind me of Steve with your enthusiasm and conservation efforts and love for all
When I started making Blue World, my inspiration was to make the show like a combination of Steve Irwin and Jacques Cousteau.
Serious PNW diver here...

Anyways, great work. Cephalopod palz 😍🐙
Beginners luck? We dove it probably 5-6 times?
that fight was more exciting than WWE.
I like these videos very much, I am Bangladeshi
Awesome show!
How do you not have more subscribers! This is excellent quality video. Love it!
Epic episode!! How can somebody dislike these videos!!
Good question!!!
Ahhh that chimera is so impressive!
Shout out😱, watching from Philippines 🇵🇭
That spot in the Puget Sound you went to near the end of the video is where I got certified last summer!
Popular shore dive spot!
This world is amazing! Again, loveee you and thanks for the wonderful videos and all your endless knowledge 🐙🦈🐠🐡🦈
I love your narration, Jonathan!!!! I'm a big fan of marine life, and you make it so interesting man

The one seen at 14:49 is a giant California sea cucumber (Parastichopus californicus), and is very common in Puget Sound waters.
Is there anyway you could visit the Vancouver aquarium?? it is not the biggest but it's very special to us Canadians.
Love this channel. Watch it with my kids for hours. Educational and a lot of fun!
you are awesome! first Friday of every month is a great day because of you. you have an amazing job. Your channel should be better known about.
Thanks! Tell a few people about it!!!
BlueWorldTV I sub
BlueWorldTV can u please make a video about moray eels
I would be terrified of those suction cups lol. Great video!
I’ve always think a hilarious name for an octopus would be Houdini because they are escape artist
This is awesome
Wow,
What a video. Its got to be one of your best. Incredible intelligence in those Octopus.
Steve in Scotland.
I love ur videos
This was a cool video.
I just got to interact with an giant Pacific octopus like in the first section in Las Vegas at SeaQuest. It was such an amazing experience.
Love your videos Jonathan keep up the good work mate
