They�d be cooler if they didn�t only live about 5 years at most.

But yeah, octopuses are pretty cool.

It is one of the greatest injustices in the universe that octopus lifespans are so short. They are super intelligent, and would probably run the world if they lived as long as humans. I, for one, would welcome a cephalopod overlord.

Yeah, I don't know. The video looks to be from Chinese state TV, so I wonder if they just didn't want to show the diver being outwitted, outmatched, and having his equipment stolen by an octopus.

I think I saw a documentary on the discovery channel that octopuses roam the land in the future, even showing an animation of them swinging on trees like Tarzan, in the movie Tarzan. Also had spiders fattening up mice like pigs to eat.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-ringed_octopus

Direct contact is necessary to be envenomated. Faced with danger, the octopus's first instinct is to flee. If the threat persists, the octopus will go into a defensive stance, and show its blue rings.

The major neurotoxin component of the blue-ringed octopus is a compound that was originally known as maculotoxin but was later found to be identical to tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin also found in pufferfish, and in some poison dart frogs. Tetrodotoxin is 1,200 times more toxic than cyanide. Tetrodotoxin blocks sodium channels, causing motor paralysis, and respiratory arrest within minutes of exposure.

Tetrodotoxin causes severe and often total body paralysis. Tetrodotoxin envenomation can result in victims being fully aware of their surroundings but unable to move. Because of the paralysis that occurs, they have no way of signaling for help or any way of indicating distress. The victim remains conscious and alert in a manner similar to curare or pancuronium bromide. This effect, however, is temporary and will fade over a period of hours as the tetrodotoxin is metabolized and excreted by the body.

It is essential that rescue breathing be continued without pause until the paralysis subsides and the victim regains the ability to breathe on their own. This is a daunting physical prospect for a single individual

Respiratory support until medical assistance arrives ensures the victims will generally recover.

Victims who survive the first twenty-four hours usually recover completely.

I just drew this for my 10 year old niece.

(A+) Amazing.

And it made one-eighth the difference.

I want to take the time here to say that I completely endorse the octopus race enslaving humanity, so that when they question my allegiance I can say I supported them even before they won the war.

Octopuses got they brains in they legs

It's actually super cool, I haven't looked to see if anyone followed up on the study, but a couple years ago some guys figured out that the octopus probably delegates its movement to the individual legs. So basically the central nervous system says "I wanna go this way" and the legs are all like "okay I think this is how we're gonna do it" and the CNS is like "Cool whatever I don't give a poo poo just go already"

also one time a little octopus stuck itself to my gear when I was spearfishing and I didn't notice until about halfway through paddling the kayak back in to shore. It was awesome and we were best friends until I peeled him off and finally got him to let go and swim away.

Bored: Jul 26, 2007; Dude, ix-nay on the oice-vay.

Another goon linked me to a video that was talking about breeding octopusses. There was a very nicely drawn animation about how they mate when the male is feeling brave and decides to come into contact with the female. Turns out, octopus contact sex looks like the male is giving the female a wet willy.

Now I have to go find the video if it hasn't already been posted.
