You only have to watch like the fist 16 seconds. It's like watching magic happen.

You guys have any cool animal videos to share? I always enjoy watching them.

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".

Cuttlefish loving rule.
I didn't realize cuttlefish could use their color to hypnotize as well, really amazing. It also proves they have direct control over it, which is far out.

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:

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:
