Camouflaged Octopus Makes Marine Biologist Scream Bloody Murder

  • Bet you can't spot the octopus in this video. When marine biologist Roger Hanlon caught this creature on camera, he said he screamed bloody murder. And no wonder. Did you see that thing appear out of nowhere?!
    After a decade of further research, Hanlon still doesn't know how the eight-armed animal pulled it off. Hanlon and his colleagues at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole study a group of underwater creatures called cephalapods, which includes octopi like this one, as well as squid and cuttlefish.

      Who says the videographer was the Marine Biologist?
      They both were, most likely. I'd say the person that described the incident wasn't the person that did the freaking.
      It could just be the title the uploader decided to use, as his 'hook'.
      You can tell if someone is screaming underwater, his bubbles come out like mad and his spastic movements. lol
      The guy next to him wouldn't hear it, though.
      That's why you use hand signals you both know, and why scientists use boards and grease markers to convey what they want to say, down on the bottom, or while they're waiting at the rope for the next ascent time - to prevent nitrogen narcosis.
      (It's rare to be anywhere near a chamber to save your life when you're out at sea.)
      To record undersea audio, to capture whale's 'songs', a tethered recording device is used from the vessel.
      Did you know that if you speed up the sound of a whale's call, that it sounds exactly like a bird tweeting?
      Cool, huh? ^_^

    Octopi are extremely intelligent creatures. It probably knew that it would be a waste of time/energy to try and hide itself since it was discovered in the place. Another thing to note about octopus is that their color often reflects their mood; white is often thought to be fright, red is thought to mean anger or aggression; shapes are also thought to mean something but afaik there is no consensus as to what. At the end, with its color changes, it's pretty much telling the camera to bugger off.

      We can, it's just involuntary; when we have a deeply emotional cry, the area below our eyes redden due to the acidity and quantity of our tears, and when we have a sudden hightened moment of joy or fear we might get goosebumps. These aren't technically "at will," sure, but still. :)

    Marine Biologists were diving suits and breathing apparatus so it is impossible to scream.

I never said there isn't sound under water. Before resorting to insulting someone, read what they've typed.
