Oh wow drat. I laughed pretty hard at this. That poor crab, what a way to go. Bogus Adventure posted:This one is of a cuttlefish seeing itself on a video screen: This is great, those big eyes lmao. I'm just imaging the cuttlefish thinking "I'm so high right now". Bogus Adventure posted:I show this video to my students when teaching them about science: Hector Beerlioz posted:octopuses taste really good, i bet its because they're so smart Weirdly enough, and maybe Bogus Adventure could help me out on this, Octopuses don't have brains like most other species. They have complex nervous system, and each of their tentacles can operate on their own without having to communicate to a main "brain". Making it one of the most alien species on our planet, just because while smart it doesn't process information the same way a typical brain does. Also according to the video that particular octopus is color-blind. Here is an octopus going through a hole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=949eYdEz3Es

I've only got my Google Ph.D. in cephalopods, but scientists say they are so smart because they do have a central brain as well as lots of neurons in their arms. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-mind-of-an-octopus/ They are just really cool. They can reflexively change color to blend into their environment, change their skin shape, they have incredibly complex eyes that can see polarized light, and their arms can move both independently and in unison. They can apparently recognize different people, squeeze through the smallest of holes, walk on land, and mimic other animals.

I've been snorkelling a bunch of times with giant cuttlefish and they are incredibly loving cool. Most were used to divers and they'd just hover around you like guild navigators, all cool and aloof. EDIT: To avoid confusion, "giant" cuttlefish aren't like giant squid. They're only about half a metre long. Megillah Gorilla fucked around with this message at 06:26 on Jan 17, 2018 |

I recently read the book Other Minds: The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life which is about octopus (and cuttlefish, and squid, kinda) intelligence and how they're the best example of alien intelligence we'll find since mammals and cephalopods diverged in the evolutionary tree hundreds of millions of years ago. And I felt guilty about eating them because they clearly have an intellect and curiosity and personality. Then I went to Spain and Portugal and had the fattest, most tender and delicious grilled octopus I've ever eaten. God drat it was good.

Apparently he had do more than one take for that scene so that's not the only octopus that died that way. Found a video of a cuttlefish imitating a crab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_p3Yreztig Here is a shot of a pretty rad kill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgDE2DOICuc&t=32s
