Cuttlefish, The Best Pet Cephalopod?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ม.ค. 2021
- Cuttlefish have got to be on the short list of the coolest animals on the planet, though they are basically aliens. They are super intelligent invertebrate masters of camouflage. They are cephalopods like their cousins the octopus and squid, but I would argue that they might just be the best pets in that group. But is the cuttlefish a good pet? And is it the best pet cephalopod for you?

This channel rocks. I have only recently discovered this channel and am now binging the videos.
I am so glad you had a frilled dragon episode as i am getting a baby one next week.
I'm so grateful for how informative your videos are.
Much love and support.🤙🤙
I'm so glad you found us :)
Me too! I'm going to make my New Guinea frilled dragon a bioactive vivarium.
Frilled dragons are the coolest. Enjoy!
Thanks Cody.
Any suggestions or advice for his home would be awesome and appreciated.
@@joemoreno2687 I've personally never cared for a frilled dragon, so I can't help ya out there. Clint and his various youtube companions are a great source. Also, check out reptifiles for really top notch care guides. All I can do is congratulate you on your choice to get one of the coolest animals on the planet 😎.
“Cuttlefish are not fish and don’t cuddle” -Clint’s Reptiles
If you get into what animals are named, like half the names are bad and wrong. I'm still annoyed with the fact birds are technically lizard hipped dinosaurs due to phylogeny, even though they definitionally have bird like hips. And then the stereotypical saurischian hips, don't even look anything like lizard hips.
@LaumiRez "Killer whales" Orca dolphins are both whale and dolphin, All dolphins are whales but not all whales are dolphins. Red pandas are the original panda, that got the name panda First, panda is from the Nepal language meaning bamboo eater/eater of bamboo. "Panda bears" original names before "Panda bear" was spotted bear, Bamboo bear i prefer this name, even in modern China wear they are native there Chinese name translates as Giant bear cat not Panda.
@Jordon Carlson With the cuddle part i believe Clint was JK. The word cuttle comes from the old English word cudele, meaning pouch/Sack, referring to the ink sack.
proof that if you discover it, you get to make up whatever name you want
@LaumiRez killer whales are whales. Dolphins are a kind of whale.
"Even rat owners feel sorry for you." Yup. I am watching this, laughing, while sitting here with my 2.5 year old rat sitting on my lap. Short lifespans are not for every pet owner. It takes avery resilient heart to love something so much that will only be her for so long
Maggie Kennedy mantids live even shorter lives,most only a year or less. It's truly a shame that for such an intelligent insect,they don't last long.
@@bugloverspiderlover8490 mantises are not intelligent, you just see big eyes and a fierce appearance and take that to mean intelligence.

To be fair. Many biologists are like that. That`s why some of us become biologists in the first place.
And if you learn to appreciate invertrebrates you bring this to a completely different level.

Stick around for the bloopers :)
I NOTICED

Same!
I actually didn't even notice the aquarium behind him was real. I just saw it once and automatically assumed it was greenscreen so I did not pay attention to it. But for real now, didn't you see his back reflecting on the glass?
I went to an aquarium and I fell in love with a cuttlefish. It seemed to be watching me and responding to me. It was so adorable. It showed off for me as I took tons of photos and videos. I didn’t want to move on. I was just utterly infatuated with the cuttlefish.
I had a smiliar experience! It was the highlight of my trip, and furthered my fascination with cephalopods.
@@TheVeeker So glad to hear you had a similar experience. They are such amazing creatures.
Anyone else totally captivated by the sharks in the background? 😍❤️

Is anyone _not?_
Yeah but they shouldn't be in captivity. They have territories spanning several kilometers.
If aliens touched down and looked like cephalopods, I would not be even the slightest bit surprised.

I am loving the aquatic and marine videos. You guys really came out swingin' in this category. Fresh water stingrays first, and now cuttlefish? Good stuff.
I figure, if you're going to do something, you should do it right 🐙
@@ClintsReptiles You always do it right! The facts, the honesty, the good and bad, and that lovely nerd energy makes this one of the best channels out there.
Came out "swimin" more like ;)
I've spent a lot of my life around saltwater creatures. I used to scuba dive with my dad and have had a saltwater aquarium for about 10 years. I'm glad that you discussed a lot of the important basics of caring for a saltwater system- all of the people I've talked with that didn't have extensive experience didn't always know that you have to use RODI (basically totally pure) water and mix it with special ocean salt, and all of them were surprised to hear that copper kills basically everything in an aquarium. When I have to treat fish with ick and other diseases, people wonder why I have to set up a separate tank instead of just treating them in the main tank. It's because copper is highly toxic to everything, especially corals, which I have in the main tank, and the copper treatments that you can get for your fish are definitely going to kill anything that isn't a fish in your tank.
A lot of people don't think about things like this and cycling a tank before impulse buying a fish or something similar. Again, I am glad that you brought up a lot of the basics about saltwater tanks instead of just getting people hyped up about how cool cuttlefish are without explaining any of the basic care and setup they'd need.
Grippy grippy suction cups, sounds like a ze frank reference
Clint helps us decide if the cuttlefish is a good pet to have.
Ze Frank helps us understand just how the cuttlefish do.
I thought the same lol
I hate that guy
You too are a man of culture
Now the zeFrank cuttlefish video is in my suggested list.
So I don't have reptiles, couldn't accommodate reptiles, don't really want reptiles. Yet I enjoy watching almost every one of Clint's videos. I also think about this every time. Yet here I am lol
Well, good thing it's not a reptile this time xD
I think that even if you have no interest in owning the animals these videos are fantastic to watch for the pure educational value. I love watching Clint's Reptiles, Kamp Kenan and other reptile/animal channels with my nephew as he is as crazy about animals as I am and Clint is particularly good as he just has so much information and he makes that information accessible for all ages from my nephew (6) right up to "grown-ups" like myself (a bit older than 6 lol!)
9 months later i wonder... Is that still true?
Ahhh it looks like an adorable chibi Cthulu! So precious!
So the question is...is Cthulhu...the best pet ancient one...for _you?_
"Chibi Cthulhu" I love it!
@@hibernopithecus7500 With Cthulhu,

To befriend the great old one,you must use,the cute kitten technique! Like Cartman did!
@@PeppersnGlowworms Food, not a pet.
Wow those close up shots of the cuttlefish are hypnotic. I love that undulating mantle.
4:59 When Clint scared the fish in the aquarium behind him by saying “POP on over there”. I was wondering whether that aquarium was green screen this also confirmed that it is not.
Or maybe some well timed movie magic...
Am I the only one captivated by how quickly this channel's diversified from just doing videos on reptiles?
My wife and I are bringing home a Ball Python today thanks to your wonderful videos! Thank you!
I'm so glad we could help! That's a great choice :)
Name it Clint ! XD
Joking, but still xD
A friend of mine has a pet ball python, and thanks to him, I've started to actually find snakes to be surprisingly cute
As soon as I saw this video I watched and read everything I could about keeping saltwater tanks, cephalopods, etc. Ten months ago I'd only ever had fresh water tanks. I bought all the stuff, an RO/DI unit, protein skimmer etc. My cuttlefish eggs hatched about two weeks ago and I currently have about 8 baby cuttlefish and several more eggs that look about ready to hatch. This has been the coolest project I've ever taken on and I can't thank Clint enough.
Watching the cuttlefish "walk" with two of their arms, the rapid color changes, waving arms above themselves like if a tiny elephant was a snake charmer, catching live shrimp with their tiny arms they shoot out like a frog tongue... they have been so enjoyable!
I want to have some so bad, I would spend so long at their tank in the aquarium because they're so curious and like interacting with me/different things I show them through the glass! Do they recognize you?
@@Snowstar837 Yes they definitely did! One in particular that outlived the others. It would start blowing water out of the tank, waving his arms, doing anything to get my attention as soon as I walked into the room. Very awesome!
I do not own a reptile, but you have no idea how much this channel made me appreciate them. I've had so many misconceptions about these wonderful creatures and their care. Please keep doing what you're doing. Your admiration for these animals is an inspiration.
And yes, I would like a video on sharks.
Amazing comment. Thank you so much!
I just saw that Clint wore a blue tie to an aquarium. It's just great how he coordinates this stuff!!
The tie, not aquarium. Although, that's pretty neat too.
You're very observant :)

Cuttlefish have been my favorite animal for as long as I can remember. I'm so glad to see you talk about them! If I could ever afford the proper setup and care, I still don't know if I could handle keeping them because of their short lifespan. It'd break my heart.
I'm very appreciative that you guys are informing others of cycling! Most experts know this, but not all teach it. It's crucial in order to keep any aquatic or semi-aquatic creature alive! Trust me, I've been keeping freshwater aquariums for over 10 years!
Best aquatic alien you’ve covered so far! lol. They are amazing squishy beasts.
Well put!
Ah, the cuttlefish! One of my favorite critters in the world!
I am always so impressed by you. Consistently I think "okay, Clint can't top this"
And here he is. In front of a tank of sharks. Talking about cuttlefish, with some of the coolest cuttlefish footage I have ever seen.

The cuttlefish is my favorite animal and I'm actually so happy it's possible to keep one as a pet
Cephalopod nerd here... one of the two main suborders of octopuses actually DO have a shell (of sorts). These are the Cirrata, as opposed to the Incirrata which you showed. Cirrate octopuses have a small internal shell and strands/hairs (cirri) on their arms, and look even MORE like a crazy alien than Incirrata octopus. Great video as always though mate, can't wait for that shark content! :D
I love cuttlefish, adorable. There's a video of a cuttlefish farmer, the whole group of them come when he calls them.
link?
Really love the genuine passion and enthusiasm you have for critters! You look like you're having a blast, and the humor is on point!
I just found your channel tonight, I just wanted to say that the vibes of this channel is amazing. I am so glad that I found you as a channel, your energy is so contagious and makes me excited about all the different animals you share with us. Thank you for existing, and keep on rocking!
Found this channel last night. Classwork is becoming impossible because it’s so not stinkin’ rad. Much respect and love from Mississippi!
Cephalopods are such fantastic critters, thank you for doing this video! The way these guys change color is stunning. Their short lifespan is what keeps me watching videos of them instead of setting up another tank :(
Had a friendly group of these come up to me whilst scuba diving a couple of months ago and put on a display. Super cool things.
That’s the most adorable thing I’ve ever heard!
Just did my AP bio presentation on the immune system of cephalopods. The common octopus was found to have actually developed a humoral response where a protein will bind to a pathogen to alert their hemocytes to consume the pathogen. It was so interesting, because being invertebrates they don't have an adaptive immune response, but they have developed a very similar mechanism despite being so phylogenetically different from humans.
I'm in love! Completely new species to me. Stinking rad background. This is one of my favorite of your videos.
It's one of my favorites as well!
Haven't really thought about cuttlefish as something you can keep as a pet, but it would be really cool. I generally love aquariums and those are some of the coolest most unique animals you can have there
As someone planning on keeping Dwarf cuttlefish in the far future, thank you for making this video!
Love your channel man! I'm sort of envious that you get to make a living talking about and appreciating adorable animals!
You should do more aquatic things maybe "Reef Aquarium, the best aquarium?"
I like that idea a lot!
Something I've always wanted to to if I ever get into aquariums is a artificial reef theme, like the wreck of the titanic. Their has to be some cool stuff you can do with that premise but I have found nothing online and only seen it in a few sand tiger/ nurse shark tanks in aquariums.
Never thought of having one as a pet but now I want one! I found one while at the SE coast of England as a young child. I cupped it in my hands, it was tiny! So cool though, especially as it turned blood red in my hands. I quickly put it back and it turned to the colour of the sand and shot off at an amazing speed and puffed a few clouds of ink as it went. Amazing experience and better than the enormous crab my dad was trying to pick up (he got pinched several times I think).
Sounds like an amazing day!
I once scooped up a cuttlefish at a beach at Chincoteague island. My adopted son had lost his glasses in the water and I was doing a futile task of dragging my hands across the sandy bottom in the general area. The water was looking gray and mixed as it was a fairly rough surf. I felt something in my hand and eagerly brought it to the surface. It was a cuttlefish. Its color at the time was a deep, mottled gray. The funny part is that I knew I had something alive but when I saw its eyes, looking back at me with some sort of intelligence, I reacted like a little girl and screamed and threw it back in. I still wonder if it told its friends about an alien abduction and how the strange alien made a loud shriek and threw it far away. Lol
@@jkishhabi I love chincoteague.
Had some family in the military living over there and one of my favorite memories of the place is the time I was kayaking in the salt marshes about fifteen feet away from the wild ponies.
Great oysters and seafood in general out that way, too.
Clint. Thank you for these videos. I know you may not see this because of the amount of comments there may be. But throughout Covid you kept me and my Fiancee so happy, so informed, and so intrigued by your videos. The joy and kindness you give into these videos along with the effort of all the crew that have help, even the effort of the patrons to help keep this going, mean so much to us. Thank you for doing what you do and helping these animals get the understanding and awareness they deserve.
I am loving the streak of aquatic life that you've been doing! This is so great. Cephalopods are some of the raddest indeed.
The question is:
How would cuttlefish cuddling compare to kangaroo cuddles?
(Cause alliteration is still amazingly awesome)
A totally valid question!
Drowning is depressingly deplorable, meaning mammals make pretty perfect petting partners.
Baby kangaroo love cuddles
Hey Newt
A video on jellies would be really cool! Also, I seriously nerded out when you made the head-foot joke
I second the jelly video 😍
oh clint you always give me the best video exactly when i need it. your videos truly fill my days with joy.
Oh my god I love cuttlefish. I just remember seeing them in a nature documentary back in kindergarten and they’ve been my favorite sea creature ever since.
Cuttlefish is my favorite marine animal, together with the Dolphin. They are both so unbelievably smart and majestic!
(Well, unbelievably smart compared to all other non-human animals. There's obviously an abyss between us and them)
That could potentially be debatable in the case of cephalopods. Mostly because we don't know how to test their intelligence effectively, which is unfortunate. And also because they have evolved so differently to us. Our last common ancestor lived about 400 million years ago. So it's been a while.
"Those are my least favorite Pillsbury products."
Clint, you may want to reconsider where you purchase your Pillsbury products.
Yay Cuttlefish! While doing my masters thesis at the Gothenburg maritime museum and aquarium i loved to look at the baby Cuttlefish they were raising in the back. They were adorabe, if sometimes hard to spot.

Man this is so amazing. Only channel I've ever considered supporting on Patreon. The energy you bring to these videos is so next level and so inspiring. On top of that, you might've even inspired me to take on the commitment of getting a cute little hognose :)
Recently, they've been testing the cuttlefish and some have concluded that it is the most intelligent invertebrate. I saw one up close at an aquarium and was mesmerized. I absolutely love it but I'd never keep such an exotic animal as a pet.

Not really Into reptiles and stuff but I like this channel and your enthusiasm is infectious
This might sound bad but as well as being fascinating creatures they're also absolutely delicious!
They're like a sweeter and more tender version of squid but you can't do rings because over their shell is just skin (or super thin muscle I don't know for sure).
I don't think a pet that lives less than two years would be for me if I'm honest.
I eat seafood salad at the local Italian restaurant, which contains octopus (including baby octopuses which actually just look like babies), squids, and cuttlefish (and mussels). Lately I've been seeing fewer rings and suckers and more cuttlefish. Maybe people started complaining about eating things that look like baby doll heads with octopus arms.
"Even rat owners feel sorry for you."

The plural of "octopus" is "octopuses." It is not "octopi," because it is a Greek-derivative word, not Latin. A direct translation would be "octopodes," but that form is transformed into the form we are more familiar with in every other case, so "octopuses" it is.
The plural of "octopus" being "octopus" has no etymological standing.
www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/the-many-plurals-of-octopus-octopi-octopuses-octopodes
I think octopodes is the way to go because it’s the most fun to say.
@@katelillo1932 It was adopted into Latin and I think they used octopi for the plural. I favor octopuses.
I'm seriously looking at getting a few cuttlefish and having an active aquarium so I much appreciate your advice. It's a shame that the cephalopods have such short life spans and this seems at odds with such intelligent animals. Imagine what they could do if they lived longer - especially the octopus. Anyway, great informative video.
nice job, i like this guy. I encountered these snorkeling a few times. They will study you, just patiently waiting and flashing colors. It's so incredible to swim with them in the ocean
Super stoked you're doing aquarium/aquatic videos now!! ❤️🐟🐠

outstanding video; so grateful for this, and highly looking forward to the octopus video!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS THANK YOU!
Love this video! Thank you! Looking forward to the octopus one! Xxx
I have a lot of catching up to do on your channel, but I have to say this must be my favorite video of yours yet. I had the biggest smile on my face when I saw you'd made a cephalopod video. Cuttlefish are such amazing creatures. The footage you took of this one was incredible to watch. They change colors so quickly!
That being said I think I'd play Subnautica if I wanted a 'cuddlefish', but being able to learn about them and appreciate them through your videos is a fantastic experience in itself. =) I hope I'm able to visit an aquarium like this and admire them firsthand someday, but this is the very next best thing. Thank you and your team for your wonderful videos!
Cuttlefish are so cool! Glad to learn more about them.
im happy you touched on the life span on cuttlefish, i looked into buying some of these a while back and the species i looked into only lived to about 4 years. i think that should be something you add more and more to your videos so ppl know just what they are getting into.
