Octopuses and cuttlefish through alien eyes

- Octopus, cuttlefish and other cephalopods are masters of camouflage, and they may be the closest thing on Earth to alien intelligence.
To better understand them, a team of scientists took a one-of-a-kind camera to the South Pacific. Their goal: to see the ocean as no human has before.

I've always been fascinated by their eyes. They look so bizarre, I always wonder how the hell do they see??
If I remember right, they cant see color the way we do. In order to pick up on hue - differences in the frequency of electromagnetic radiation - that distinctive w-shape iris scatters the light onto the back of their eyeball, where they then focus in and out of the colors. So they can see color, but only the intensity of one hue at a time (like having a b/w camera for every color). If they focus in an out of the hues fast enough, the different colors blur together to form the image. To overcome this "limit", they use differences in polarized light - the direction of electromagnetic radiation bouncing off a surface. This gives them an advantage underwater, where low light conditions and camouflage are commonplace (I'd google image search "cuttlefish see" and the image of a shrimp helped me grasp how they perceive the world). So, instead of using hue to differentiate an object, they can use the direction of light bouncing off that object to differentiate it. They also have flat flaps that allow them polarize light which they flap at each other to communicate. Finally, some animals (idk if cuttlefish do, but they would have the ability) use polarized light from stars as maps, similarish to sailors using constellations to find where they are. I hope this wasn't too much; I just find it amazing.
Look at a sheep or goats eyes.
With their skin
With them eyes.... 🤓🤦🏼♀️ I mean their eyes are very cool but almost everything else about them is cooler
Go check out a koala you’ll be blown away
This channel is amazing ! It needs more recognition !
Absolutely majestic creature
Why do so many of these types of videos end right when they’re starting to ask the really compelling questions?
They are beautiful, yet mysterious creatures. It creeps me out how they are capable of opening and closing jars. 😱
So many people take this for granted
raja ampat.. so beautiful
universally we, as humans can only perceive a fraction of reality
Reality is merely what you allow it to perceive
Reality is all that has, is, or will be fundamental to existence whether humanly detectable or not
That's like saying that rain is wet
@@anthonyskata damn right!
Octopus can see you deepest regrets, your most degenerate desires, and bone chilling fears.
I’ve been telling people for years that the aliens they so want to meet are right here on earth, in our animals.
I loved this study. What empathy & determined understanding your team has to study these incredible cephalopods. They’re one of my favourite animals to watch
Let me just say,”THEY SEE THROUGH THERE SKIN”
0:13 the last thing an unsuspecting fish will ever see...
This was amazing! I’m so fascinated by these animals, I could watch them for hours
Are cuttlefish responsible for eating humans who ended up @ the bottom of the Atlantic after the air crash of Air France 447 ???
Ducks can see UV too.... Turtles navigation is insane… I’m positive with how advanced octopuses are, They can do a lot more than just see colors we can’t see. They have the ability to pass down knowledge from generation to generation they watch learn plan and probably a lot more than we even know they probably think we’re stupid
If octopus didn't die after their eggs hatch, and had the ability to pass information down through the generations, they may have had a shot at sentience. Maybe they still will if we don't permanently despoil the oceans.
I thought you'd show us the camera view
I would like to ask a what-if question. As so many of us have heard the phrase " We are all one" What if we really are. Consciousness is not limited to the human race. And if we are all here to learn from one another we are. Aren't we? Let us learn to be the best we can be toward one another.
POV/Perspective: I would like to see an octopus' camouflage in an environment where the perspective is different from different angles.
The octopus mimicked the coral behind itself, so you are looking at the octopus above a surface it imitates.
Could an octopus follow a shifting pattern beneath itself? Does it know the pattern beneath it shifts?
Virtual reality and camouflage could test that.
Why doesn't an octopus camouflage in the open ocean? (Maybe a white bottom and a dark top?)
Octopuses generally don't live in the open ocean. However, squid do, and many species exhibit countershading.
The differences between these creatures and us intensify the question, in me, what you need a consciousness for to have intelligence. Could not any maneuver involving consciousness also be carried out without an addition of such a component?
I’m on board
Wow, what an amazing video. These animals are truly incredible.
Truly fascinating, bring new eyes to a new perspective :)
First friend: "...and they can come from above, and do weird experiments on me..."
Second octopus: "Sure, sure...the four legged aliens.. we've heard it all before" *rolls the eyes*
Third octopus: "I just wonder why it only happens to some remote living losers, like you..."
*second and third octopus laugh*
❤😂❤
Octopi*
Seems like a Job for Quantum Computers!
cephaloipods dropping soon
Do you guys encounter sharks
😧😮How amazing it’s
It’s cool
Wait wut bout da chameleon the can change colers
Squid people
This supports the new theory of octopuses coming from meteors
Y r all da comments a week old?
this dude talks like steve carrell
And people like torturing and eating this animal alive
God's creation is so beautiful, its an honor to be placed in the role of being its stewards.
not creation, obviously not, but beautiful yes
