Imagine you're being hunted by a monster and a clearly-fake human just shows up and silently hands you a cloaking device.
You know what they say, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Or in this case, gift human haha.
I would still be extremely disturbed.
While an octopus watches the video on TH-cam while taking his morning Russo
@@ljavwa3459hahaha yeah you're scuba diving suddenly a whale carcass drops followed by fighting great whites, you see a human sized length of pipe right next to you as you scramble in for dear life, then from behind the sharks a mannequin in scuba gear floats towards you with the lid balanced on him.
Then cuts out to a family of Octopus watching the newest David Octaborough doco "This human seems to show a high level of intelligence, yet cannot alter the colour or texture of its 4 tentacles! What a mysterious creature."
😂😂😂😂
Ten octopi in a trench coat XD.
Shark 1: "Mate I think this octopus is a bit sus."
Shark 2: "Why?"
Shark 1: "There's two humans with massive cameras filming it."
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I didn't even think about the feckin camera crew lol. No wonder why the real octopus was like get me hidden right now
😂Underrated truth😂
Na not really , the people are far away from a distance with cameras that zoom in very well. Im guessing none of you know anything about professional cameras 😂
@@zerdo4725 most people don't know, it's fine. I guess the guy was just joking though...
But yeah they generally film from far away.
Everyone "i hate my job."
Spy octopus operator *smirks
Some people get paid to flip burgers. Some people get paid to send emails. This guy gets paid to make friends with octopi and save them from certain death.
@@bennitori4everyone has an important role in society, especially the octo-operator
If you look past the amount of coding needed for marine biology is is quite a fun job from what ive seen
I think the subtitle worker is also having that smirk. The "Shark Swooshing" was giving me a chuckle. Funny dude or dudette
Real octopus: "Thanks, bro! You're a real one!"
Fake octopus: "Not really."
🤣😂🤣😆 OMG thanks for the belly laugh!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not really....and btw, thanks for inviting me into the hiding spot with you and not just leaving me outside to potentially be eaten.
Spy Octopus walking around with the little coconut helmet was so adorable!
Yeah it is but I'm wondering where did he get it from. He came from behind that coral wearing the helmet like he was coming out of a dressing room lmao
Right? I was waiting for him to do a number!
That octopus seems artificial. Like a robot they deployed.
Uh.... I thought it was obvious that the Spy is a robot. That's why the narrator stated that the sharks were bot interested because it didn't smell like an octopus
I was wondering why spy octopus wasn’t concerned for his own safety.
The real octopus realized that the spy wasn't an actual octopus, but I believe it also realized that the spy intentionally brought the shell to him to help. It wasn't theft. It was acceptance of aid from a friend . The real octopus did show spy gratitude. Amazingly intelligent creatures.
"I dont know what, or who you are, but you probably saved my life, thank you"
Source: believe me bro
@@kbef2438 obviously that was just an interpretation, now the octopus ain't gon come on BBC and share its experience
Wow the vibration of gratitude and love is present in all animals awww
Anthropomorphize much?
We all need that friend that shows up with a coconut helmet to protect us keep us safe from harm ❤
Dont take it. They create the problem and give you a solution. Dont take it
Jesus is that friend for us :)
@@daramoka2585amém
@@daramoka2585 An existant coconut helmet please!
reading this comment made me realised how bad of a person i am... i mean i just insulted my only caring friend in the whole world.
I had been busy doing group project when my friend just showed up with a coconut helmet one day and just... left... hes in my group project and the others didnt even showed up! I really thought hes gonna do his part but no, he just gave me this dumb coconut helmet... but i guess its his own way to say that "dont give up, u can do this"
"He shows his true feelings" *gently caresses face*
Ayo
Best part
Honestly was mostly interested in what happened after and the fact it’s so short in the video makes me think it skidaddled literally after that
I just love knowing that it’s a person on the other side of the octopus and they’re just like “oh, I need to help this little guy. Let me find a coconut or something” and is just on a video game mission
The real Octopus peeking out at 2:34
@@TonyEnglandUK that was so cute lol
I was so confused by this comment until I realized spy octopus was a robot and not a type of Real Octopus...
Took me long enough 🤦🏻♀️
shark hungry… me sad.
@@destituteanddecadent9106I was gonna search "spy octopus" until I think about its weird movement..😅

Thanks for the likes. Glad I’m not the only one 😭
I actually went and googled 'spy octopus species' 😅
@@cosinus3539hahaha…
I was just confused, had no idea what I was looking at
I did too 😫 my sister had to break the bad news to me that it's fake!
"cough" me too......
@@qanon_qanon Good to know we're not the only ones 😬🤪
The little coconut octopus was so grateful and the spy octopus stood there proudly after helping him, as if saying, "Don't mention it, that's what I do around these parts" - what a little hero 😂 I love this video.
That made me chuckle
Yes the inanimate object robot thought that
Not all heroes wear a cape sometimes its a coconut shell
The spy octopus is a robot controlled by human testers
More like “oh… you’re still… here. Well this is awkward”
1:05 He looks like a drunk soldier wearing a helmet 🤣 Reporting for battle, sir!!!🤪
Yes😂 Guess very species has one of these fellas lol. This is exactly how I imagined an octopus-weirdo to act like😂
Soilder=Soldier?
🤣😂😆
it had some pulp fiction meme vibes at 1:05 xD dude was just lookin so lost walkin around
The real octopus giving the robot a brohug was so wholesome 😢❤
“Sorry for leaving you out with the sharks, you know how it is”
Animals Being Bros
brohug? we cant fraking call it a hug?
An octopus is a solitary animal. It does not understand friendship, gratitude, or love. It would never occur to an octopus to hug someone. Also, a hug goes around the body of the person/animal receiving the hug; this just was an investigative touch.
@@RB-bd5tz It doesn't understand gratitude, friendship or love? That's exactly how they show gratitude. It's not one of the most intelligent creature for no reason, lol. They also investigate with tentacle but this was a show of gratitude.
The close ups on Spy Octopus looking oblivious and waddling clumsily everywhere like a kid in a halloween costume, contrasted with the real Octopus' delicate and precise slither, added a real comedic touch to everything! 🤣 I want to see more of Spy Octopus and their "friends" who steal Spy Octopus' protection against the shark pretending to just be passing by. 🤣
Me too. This is very well done clip. The real octopus is so smart!
The spy puss reminded me of a model in high heels and a tight dress trying to run across the sand. lol
Beautifully worded 😅
looks like pinky from pacman
John Downer Productions is the channel you’ll want to visit for more spy animals. They are the ones responsible for filming and making all the spy animals for natgeo or discovery. I forget which channel they work for.
Octopus with a hat: "G'day sir."
Shark: "You too. What a nice talking hat."
"Yo, what you do for a living?"
"I operate a robot octopus and film it's adventures."
Two very intelligent species.
The sharks knew that Spy Octopus wasn't real, and so did the Octopus.
Indeed, both of those creatures figured it out quickly.
Meanwhile, several hundred humans in the comments section are still working on it...
Well, narrator said the octopus was trying to not rouse suspicious when stealing it, so idk if they knew the spy would retaliate or not, if it were fake or not
If you saw a fake human moving around with no obvious explanation, would you assume it wouldn’t attack you? Robots aren’t exactly commonplace yet, and if I saw one wandering around without obvious explanation or a nearby handler, I’d be hesitant to walk right up to it too.
That’s not intelligence, the sharks simply look for their prey with their nose, if they released pheromones from the robot octopus then the sharks also would’ve attacked it
Sharks can detect it without the need of thinking about it, and the octopus' arms taste anything they touch, so both knew it wasnt a real octopus pretty easily.
"Being aware of what others are thinking is a good sign of intelligence." I felt that. 🐙
Same, especially when it comes to family.😥
@@rustyhowe3907 additionally, being aware of what others have experienced is not only a sign of intelligence, but it's *considerate* and *selfless* as well. Thinking abstractly and outside of our own personal needs is a super power we don't all possess. Particularly in this current Era of Me-Ism, where human beings seem to only care of self-gratification. The sun does not rise and set on my arse. There are givers and takers in this world. I'm a giver, but when I see the other party, friend or family, is not reciprocating, I'm feeding him/her with a long handled spoon. ♥
@@lesliewarnell5172 Yeah we need a lot more of that in this world for sure.
I grew up under the regime of children being property and not people, you can imagine how well that went.
it didnt say that. it said deep.
correct, empathy, something republicans do not have.
The way the little octopus peeks out. .... what an adorable little fella.
The octopus was like “Thank you, obvious skin-walker!”
OMG he pets him at the end, I'm crying!
Octopuses are incredibly intelligent - hadn't it been for the fact they only live up to 5 years and die shortly after having bred only once in their life, not passing any knowledge to their offspring, they would've totally taken over the world.
Problem #1 is lifespan, Problem #2 is being aquatic. No fire, it's difficult to do agriculture in most places, etc.
The real octopus was showing how grateful they were for the help from the spy octo.
❤
@@bemusedbandersnatch2069 there are more sea than land anyway. Just grow sea weeds.
@@RomanticPopPunk Almost every plant or plant-like organism in the ocean is near the coast (think coral reefs and kelp forests). The vast majority of the ocean's food energy comes from the itty-bitty photosynthetic unicellular organisms because they can do their thing in the open ocean the way bigger autotrophs can't.
@@K.Spade7902 *it was. Stop using they for freaking animals
The purpose of these things is to capture close up footage of real animals... but I want to see more of Spy Octopus and his adventures! He's so cute! He waddles so unlike a normal Octopus and more like a kid in an oversized halloween costume, it's hillarious!
Yes, we need more of spy octopus's antics and I am sure the coconut octopus would agree.
He waffles like my science teacher. 😂
Sigmund and the SeaMonsters
He immediately reminded me of 'Caspar the friendly ghost' 😅
But was it necessary idk it looked like there was a driver or something taking the footage of the spy octopus. Or was there actually two spy octopus??👁️👄👁️
There's a documentary called "My Octopus Teacher".
It totally changed my perception about these extremely intelligent creatures.
If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you to do so. It's one of the best documentaries I've ever seen in my whole life.
It’s one of my favorite documentaries. So beautifully done & powerful!
@@hellohappyvegan I'm not gonna lie. This documentary brought me to tears several times. Both from joy and sadness. It imparts several life lessons, such as the importance of connection with nature, resilience, and the beauty of observing and understanding the natural world. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of life and the impact of building relationships, even with creatures outside our species. The documentary also highlights the need for patience and adaptation in the face of challenges and the cycle of life. So well made and beautiful and extremely powerful. A must see.
I believe it won an academy award.
Thank for sharing this information. ❤
@@truth7244 My pleasure 🌹
I feel like the octopus is thinking "you are one weird little guy but thank you pal" 🤣🤣
2:03 the zoom is just so perfect and unnecessary, I love it
LMAO IKR so dramatic
it’s killing me lmao
Great shot of the Fake octopus being introspective.
Zeke realizing what Eren was really going to do

Octopi sense the world among other things by "tasting/feeling with their arms" (yes thats a thing). The concept of "hugs" doesnt apply.
Its simply false information so the narrative is more appealing to low IQ individuals like yourself.
I strongly believe that the video footage is edited to create this stunning documentary. The sequence of the events has been meticulously crafted
@@-BestBanana very plausible considering the sharks are never shown alongside the actual octopus in the pipe
It had sex with the robot off camera.
That octopus happened to have an amazing personality filled with love and gratitude for those that float by with the perfect holiday gift covers for emergency situations. Probably going to make a holiday baked good delivery as soon as the sharks leave, can you imagine an octopus cooking with eight arms?
The little shuffle at 0:41 is so precious 🥺🥺
Yes!!!! 🥰😆 Thanks for pointing that out!
That gentle hug at the end 🥹🥲🤍
Mind blowing ! For Octopus to understand the potential problem AND solve it,amazing,beautiful animals.
The spy octopus is a robot for filming. It was so amazing, I had to find out what a "spy octopus" was. -I'd never heard of it, and thought it was a real animal, too.
Right off the bat, more intelligent and resourceful that most adult humans...No, not even a joke, dead serious, as I'm sure you are if you think about all the abysmally dumb things humans are capable of.
The real notable part here is the use of tools! It used to be thought that no sea creatures used them, only humans, some other apes, corvids, elephants, and a few other highly intelligent species, but then just a few years ago we got footage of an octapus hiding in some coconut halves.
@@pablot-r9402 "all the abysmally dumb things humans are capable of"
Such as...failing to recognize a robot? 🤨 lol
I had an Octopus graduate from my physics class with full honors
*grabs his shoulder*
"I will never forget what you've done for me brother."
I loved the little friendly gratitude pat from Mr Octopus towards Spy. 🐙❤
The octopus walks like someone in a dress that is too tight. 😂
I'm glad the Ministry of Silly Walks is using some of their budget to create robot octopi for wildlife research.
lemon curry?
I sometimes wonder if octopus are self aware. Especially because there are times when they have observed humans open containers, and will approach those humans and prompt them to open other things for them. It goes beyond being opportunistic, because it shows the potential to visualize another living thing doing something, then asking that living thing to do it, showing an understanding of their state of being.
Edit: My curiosity if anyone else has thought of this, got me looking it up. It's a possibility, because octopuses recognize themselves in mirrors, though they don't fully pass the recognition test, and they have individual personalities. The research is ongoing.
Thank your for sharing this!
Have a nice day! ^^
Even though octopuses don't have long life spans from what I read, they are some of the most intelligent life forms on the planet. That's why Gwyneth Paltrow says she no longer eats octopus when she found out how intelligent they are.😮
Only humans have self awareness. That I AM me... I exist as a separate, unique being... I can think/imagine/create...I can be embarrassed...Octopi are highly intelligent, which is different from self awareness. I love them! ❤
@@funshine817Not true, gosh so many people banned in google but not banned in comments these days
@@funshine817 Well humans do not know for sure. A lot of undiscovered animals. Ceteceans, dolphins and all, may be self aware too.
Being an octopus or a shark casually roaming the quiet ocean floor sounds so much more satisfying than being a human being.
IKR? Easy life. Just vibing.
Agree
Until you get an oil spill
You should make a game called shark simulator , I played goat simulator the other day it’s such and easy life being a goat
Imagine living every minute of your life worrying about a predator lurking nearby. The stress must be incredible
That's seriously so adorable! And at the end the spy octo looks like "Another citizen rescued. Job well done!"
The "spy" critter makers deserve an award, those things always look exceptional.
Even though the sharks didn't seem to think so, they seemed very aware that it was fake.
@@Dreama40 there's no smell, and the movement isn't quite realistic. But they did really well on the look!
@@Dreama40they go off smell
@@Dreama40The sharks don’t rely on their vision to catch their prey. They rely on smell. The spy didn’t smell like an octopus that’s why they didn’t target it.
It’s literally a visual aid for you to relate to being in a world you don’t belong in. It’s a TV show after all.
lmaoooo imagine you're trying to hide from a bunch of ppl out to kill you and then suddenly the most bizarre uncanny valley mannequin robot shuffles up to you with the perfect thing you need just draped on them 😂
Yes.. excellent this robot has a rather hat, that i can fit inside.
I swear the more I learn about these amazing creatures the more I fall madly in love with them 🥰. They are truly alien like and magical.
It shows just how smart octopus really are! It also shows that they are capable of showing emotions like thankfulness!
What a beautiful friendship. I wonder if he understands it’s not another octopus? I wonder what he thinks it actually is? He clearly appreciated the help and feels affection for it❤
He knows it's not real but he does know it helped him somehow.
Alien probably
He knows is not a octopus, otherwise probably they would attack each other.
@@techgirl517To be fair it was the worst time to kickstart a fight, the real octopus surely knew this much, and since there was no real need to apply self-defense, well... yeah.
Octipus is supposedly up there in intelligence...i doubt the creature would have been fooled by the disguise but undoubtedly, w/ that intelligence is aware that although not real helped him
Thank you for the creator of the robot spy octopus! Never knew the octopus was that smart to take the coconut half and cover itself! The hug at the end!
There's some that'll even carry around stuff like glass bottles and hide in them like a hermit crab would.
Have you ever seen a video of hermit crabs sizing up their shells? Shells are rare nowadays in most of the world, cause tourists steal them, so when a shell becomes available, all the crabs line up in order of size & when the line is complete, the crab that fits the new shell moves out of their old one & into the new one & the crab behind it moves into it's now empty shell & then the next crab moves into the now empty shell & so on down the entire line. These animals absolutely know how to use tools like shells to protect themselves
Omg, thank you for including that detail. Just from this video, I thought the spy octopus was a real octopus and I was wondering why it had evolved to move so daintily across the ocean floor and how it was doing so undetected.
ITS A ROBOT?
@@xxxafterglow LOL same. That octopus looks so real
I love how the octopus kept peering out of his bamboo/coconut den before he closed it up fully, like he couldn’t believe a fake octopus just came and brought him a present so adorable
Octopus: thanks bro, you're alright 👍
Roboctopus: *_beep boop_* 🤖
"being aware of what others are thinking is a sign of deep intelligence" many humans don't pass that
In fact, being unable to read other people is a common thing with autism, which is also associated with high intelligence. So eventually you just go full circle I guess???
@@kjpineapple7326that's a myth, most autists are really dumb. There are a few exceptions where they are smaht
@@kjpineapple7326Real, genuine even
Octopi I have learned are actually affectionate. That little hug at the end, I’ve seen videos where they do it to biologists. They also play about too. Very social and so so intelligent. I love them.
Octopi is incorrect the word octopus is not a Latin word so it’s just octopus just learned this myself less than an hour ago thot I’d share 😉
Octopus showing some impressive problem solving skills 🤓
Highly intelligent & loving creatures
If you find yourself at an aquarium with octopus in captivity, try asking the caretakers if they have stories. If they've been there awhile, it's very likely they do.
@@MrCrunchytimelike how you always have to check to make sure the enclosure is octopus proof? Oh there are stories.
@@MrKidroboto Exactly.
Smarter than some people.
the way it moves so slowly to avoid alerting the sharks or pinging in their vision.. so smart these guys
Well, the "spy octopus" isn't a real one. It is basically a camera drone they programmed to walk and made it look like an octopus. They used it to film the BBC video "How many brains does an octopus have? | Spy in the Ocean" dated 5th June 2023. 😊
what… it’s a robot. what do you think spy means. also the giant camera in its eye…
Crazy how smart both these animals are. They both saw the camera and camera crew and put on that little show for the audience!
The one octopus is a robot.
I'm amazed at how smart they are, I wonder what it would be like if they could talk
2:59 He's not showing gratitude. He's investigating. Remember, octopus can taste using their tentacles. He was tasting RoboOctopus. In his mind, he's thinking, what is this, he looks like an Octopus but he doesn't smell like one, he doesn't even mind me stealing his coconut shell. What a mystery.
Nature documentaries are so heavily anthropomorphized
@@morbiusgaming461but octopi are aliens nevertheless.
😂❤️right! : )
@@Hamoshekabeka if their the aliens, we’re the mutated monster apes
@@morbiusgaming461I mean, could be both. We really don't know. Could be investigating and saying hi. I haven't read enough research on octopus behavior to actually know, and knowing the function (we know they taste with their tentacles) doesn't predict use. We taste with our tongues, but there's still emotional meaning behind kissing, for example.
We just don't know things.
That spy octopus came through like a WW2 veteran soldier to the rescue 😊
@@4johnybravo Ohhh yeaaahh it did. The real octopus felt it and thanked it for it🫡😉💯🔥

Awww! You guys ended the video right before they were about to “do” it 😂!!
Octopuses are very intelligent creatures. I can't begin to imagine what it would like to be hunted by those scary looking sharks. That Octopus had a great friend!!!! Quick thinking on the friend's side too!!!!! How cool is that!!!!! I love the eyeball taking a look to see if anybody's coming! LOL!
I would bet others would want to see more interaction between these two. Camera cuts away after the hug. I want to see more hugging..😁

I saw the full episode and I was amazed how the coconut octopus trusted the spy octopus . It was awesome to see such behavior, it’s really eye opening.
And the segment where spy octopus helped the puffer fish was interesting too, it’s not in this clip.

Wow, thanks for that! Have just found the series on BBC and added it to my watch list :) x
That's why god made humans as frugivores like all the other apes. We aren't designed to eat meat because we love animals and feel empathy. But some people are just sick and evil. Sadly, many other animals feel empathy, too, like cows, who cry actual tears of sadness and fear.
The real octopus was like "You didn't even hide? Oh boy, you're stupid! Take it, you need it more that I do"
The robot octopus walking is the funniest thing
I love the little hug at the end.. "Thanks buddy!" ❤🐙❤🐙❤🐙❤

2:35 I couldn't stop laughing at how he opened the lid and just stuck his eye out to see if the coast is clear
I love how that Octopus walk is really funny
This is my favorite of all of the John Downer spy animal episodes. Love it!❤️
2:33 Coconut Octopus is actually checking if the guy got eaten. He then decides to himself that this bizarre guy with no self preservation might be a useful ally since he seems immune to sharks.
This might be strange to think about, but I wonder how much bigger or smaller that coconut shell could be before the octopus decided it would not work? The amount of analysis, decision making, and execution is so impressive. They're so freaking cute too 😍
Any shell is better than none so it probably would have taken it
What a beautiful friendship. I wonder if he understands it’s not another octopus? I wonder what he thinks it actually is? He clearly appreciated the help and feels affection for it
A remarkable creature, so versatile and strategic! Loved it!
These amazing creatures have more intelligence than many people we can all think of!
Biden, Harris, Trudeau.
@@SalvableRuinDamn, political ideology has seeped into everything you consume..
I sometimes say to friends who doubt the wisdom of non-human beings:
"Have you ever seen a healthy animal do something stupid, and against its nature?"
"No."
"Have you ever seen a plant do something stupid, and against its nature?"
"No."
"Have you ever seen a human do something stupid, and against its nature?"
"Ah..."
definitely smarter than any gen Z
@@EltonoutoftheclosetOfficialThat's because their instincts are hardwired into those animals and plants. Most of them literally cannot exercise critical thinking and cannot do anything else but follow those instincts to a tee. They don't go against their natue because they physically can't, not because they're smart enough to do so. That's not wisdom, that's programming.
I mean, just look at deer for example. Their natural instinct when encountering danger or predators is to hide and camouflage themselves, which only works in their natural habitats with plenty of forests and greenery. But yet, deer aren't smart enough to realize this, so they still do that in open spaces like roads, where they stop in front of speeding vehicles. Again, it's just instincts, the majority of animals can't think for themselves.
Meanwhile, humans can go against our nature because we have free will, and because we have the critical thinking and capability to make decisions based on current information. We can adapt, and aren't slaved to a certain way of doing things. Of course, that does mean that humans can make mistakes. But we learn much from these mistakes and improve ourselves.
It's because we're generally smarter and wiser in the conventional sense than every other living organism, that we have done so much and achieved things that are utterly unfathomable to the rest of the Earth-dwelling creatures.
The reason why we tend to see more stupid and foolish people nowadays is because:
1. Youth, who are still mentally undeveloped, have a greater presence due to social media and other stuff.
2. The nature of our society prohibits natural selection, meaning more.... undesirable traits are passed down through each generation. Not that it's a bad thing at all. It just proves that we can adapt, change, and surpass the limits of nature.
Oh my gosh, the little octopus is the most darling octopus EVER, and the little hug at the end…❤
It's a robot
u gae bro
@@peanusbirthdayGr8 B8 M8
How beautiful… That 1 octopus helping out the other.
The octopus was like: I don't know if you are stupid, brave or just lucky....but as long as you're here, I won't be the first to be eaten.
I love that he turned the same color to communicate. They're smart enough to know that's probably human work, and humans would love that display.
How many more generations before we have octopi as basically sea dogs?
Heard of orcas helping whalers in the past and when orca attacks came about in recent times, there was some worry that this is calculated retaliation, and we hoping they are intelligent enough to target solely that crew, or that the Orca Association would accept humans sacrificing them to reestablish peace.
I would adore that, were it not for their insanely short lifespans. My poor heart couldn’t take the losses 🥺
How long do they live? 🥺@@dollhousemausoleum
Like 2 years
Cooperation, concern for others, empathy. My kind of people.
If we think that was a display of intelligence,
What about ..... "You Know Who."❤
Amen
Animals and nature are truly remarkable. ❤️
I'd say the spy octopus has a friend for life, that was amazing!
I have heard octopi are intelligent and great problem solvers. Love the "spy buddy"!

What an intelligent creature!
Oh my god, it is so adorable. It's an Octopus, but it's freaking adorable.
That Octopus's gratitude is so touching and yet so hilarious, he is like "My hero 💓"
Octopus trying his hardest to hide.
Spy Octopus stands there like (O_O)
I love how octopus walk ❤️
That's the robot octopus 😉 😃
Real ones or robot ones? 🤭
The intelligence and emotion/gratitude here is amazing
That was incredible. I also believe the real octopus wasn't stealing, but accepting the kind help of fake Octopus, and the it showed sincere gratitude for the help it received. We don't give wild creatures the credit they're due for intelligence...
Wow the way he put his arm (tentacle) around the toy octopus is amazing that he really does show he can feel love not to mention he took the coconut and used it for cover from the shark in his hiding spot shows how intelligent he is!
It's an exploratory, investigative gesture. There is no evidence that octopuses feel "love" and "appreciation" as we know it.
@@RB-bd5tzHold on there, you assert that it's merely investigative, that is also a statement that cannot be backed with evidence. It could be either. It's likely impossible to know for sure.
What we do know is that it's intelligent enough to see half a coconut and know it would work to cover his hiding spot perfectly, that's astonishing. They are undeniably intelligent, probably more than we know.
@@VColossalV Yes, octopuses are intelligent; I recommend Mark Rober's "Octopus vs Underwater Maze." But there is much evidence that octopuses are curious, and none that they feel love or appreciation, so I'm going with an investigative probe, especially considering that everything else about this video is fake (i.e., scripted, and filmed at least partly in an aquarium), so I don't buy this "hug" idea for one second. See how the "seafloor" keeps changing; see how the robot octopus is near the real one in the tube to give it the coconut, then far away for a while, and then, all of a sudden, near again for the "hug." Be suspicious that the perfect half-coconut was in close proximity to the bamboo, and that they have the exact same diameter; question why the coconut is spotlessly clean inside, and how the robot "found" it and put it on its own head. Wonder why they need this "spy" robot, when they surround the scene with other cameras anyway. Most tellingly, see how the real octopus's suckers press against a glass wall (between it and us) at 2:57. I urge you to watch these nature videos with a critical eye; I've seen many obvious fakes.

@@Teezythadon Well, I'm not getting Netflix just to watch the whole thing, but I watched an interview and some clips on YT, including the "hug" scene. The octopus's gestures can generally be attributed to curiosity, exploration, and investigation. What we can gather for sure is that she had this big creature constantly in her life, which she eventually determined not to be dangerous. This does not mean she accepted him as a "friend"; she just tolerated his presence. Even the "hug" - well, there's no evidence that an octopus understands the amicable or social nature of a hug (remember, it's a fundamentally solitary creature), so we really don't know why she clung to him. She could have simply appreciated his body heat. I used to catch garter snakes as a kid, and, even though they resisted at first, eventually they'd voluntarily wrap around my hand and not be inclined to leave, even if I held them back near the ground. This doesn't mean they "loved" me; they just liked my body heat. Octopuses apparently exhibit some more primitive emotions, such as fear, anger, and even frustration, but friendship and love are far more complex. We have to be careful how much we anthropomorphize animals.
I really don't think, non humans, get credit for their actions. I realize that not all living beings are smart, but this video proves how smart, non people can be.
Clever too!
And we humans continue to show regularly how dumb we are
I'm sure octopuses would at least know when and how to use commas.
For fuck's sake, man.
Yes, so smart I had octopus for dinner last night..who's smart now 🤣
@@coalblooded Seriously! The only place I see where a comma could be used is after the first smart.

You need to be served up on something’s plate!
That spy octopus is adorable with that little helmet! I'm glad they outsmarted the shark! ❤
Omg! That was absolutely incredible! I am mind blown! 😲😨 I LOVE Octopuses!👍👍 That tender, sweet hug, to its savior, was so touching. ❤
Let's just say it, people--the Octopus is a bad ass.
The hug at the end. 🥹
David Tennant narrating this makes it even more better
I love how the spy octopus waddles😂 he’s trying his best
Remora: "you seeing this?"
Shark: "Yeah bro, since when could the octopuses build robots?"
I stopped eating calamari after I saw the special with the plastic cup on TH-cam and this just reinforces my feelings about it. they are so smart and so interactive
I also can't eat calamari because of the octopi's intelligence, i love eating fish, but eating something as intelligent as an octopus just doesn't feel right at all.
Calamari is made of squids, and squids are not very smart.
@jasonbrody8957 Oh okay. I once spent a week in Croatia and they had a lot of octopus-based food, I'm not sure how it's called.
@@Kyrikrliy yea eating octopus is not cool
@@SA-wu4lvFactory farming is literally the worst it must, and can end. I've changed my diet, it's "wait for the numbers and commercial shift" situation now...
I did not know an octopus was this smart & quick on their feet 🥲 it showed signs of emotional intelligence too… and the hug of gratitude for the spy octopus was the sweetest thing and one of the most wholesome moments I’ve seen in a while 😭🥰
Spy Octopus is so cute.
Shark with the fish stuck underneath looks like he's packing.
Love the little robot superhero.
Such intelligence from both. It's amazing to see.
the intelligence from both?? the "spy octopus" who brought over the coconut shell helmet is a robotic operated by a human. so it is an intelligent human and an intelligent mimic octopus..lol
Loved how the spy octopus 🐙 helped him by getting him a helmet ⛑️. Very smart guy
The spy octopus is a robot.
