[@damienholland9244]

Yes, I sometimes call it cross-generational intelligence or memory but I'm sure evolution has a better term for it. The fact that there's an underlying memory, intelligence, and imagination within every living being that transfers to the next one. I know some people will say "that's just DNA" but it feels like more is going on than that. I suppose it's the closest thing to a God we have (the 'greater mind' within all living beings).

[@myname-ns1rp]

DNA is a coding language. Anyone who can't see that is willfully suppressing the truth. It's just a fact. No, dust and water and lightning didn't make code over billions of years. If you found a Shakespeare sonnet laying on a beach, you don't say time and chance produced it. You know an intelligent person made it. Same with DNA. Very simple to understand God made all life. That's not to say especiation from a broader genome to a more specific expression doesn't occur, but that's a loss of data, not gains over time. Close to all mutations are deleterious upon the genome.

if you focus in on the "shadowing" effect the patterns create, it makes it pretty much impossible to notice that the cuttlefish was slowly moving towards the camera, i think i've found exactly how the "mesmerizing" mechanic works. when the dark stripes head down and towards the face, in the opposite direction the cuttlefish is moving, it creates a "movement camoflage" to onlookers, to trick them into thinking that the cuttlefish is stationary.

The way the cuttlefish looks around, notices the shark, and turns to focus on the crab, you can tell it has a terrifying level of intelligence. It's not just acting on instinct. It's making decisions and planning.

Hi Anton, I’m a big fan of your channel. I tried to suggest to you earlier to do an episode on the Permian extinction and it’s possible link to a large crater found beneath the Antarctic Ice.

University of Ohio researchers have theorized that the asteroid strike, and the roughly antipodal Siberian traps that flowed around the time of Permian extinction were related to the greatest mass extinction of all time.

The voice of David Attenborough touches the core. Love for the Legend.

[@Psychiatrist-SachiBang]

Most views are due to the sound effects and the awesome cinematography.. they have created a story of sorts. Hats off to the creator

[@mynamesnotglen]

One of the great pleasures I've had in life is listening to David Attenborough describe the wonders of our magnificent planet.

[@therealjacobsimpson]

The sound effects guy sounds like he’s trying to make this an action movie

His voice just does something to you❤

The production value of these doc’s are amazing Lol

[@skyline201]

I am from Southeast Asia and unfortunately, these reefs are threatened by the Chinese exploitation in the Scarborough Shoal. They've built an airstrip in a very small island where these reefs are located. Imagine how much dredging and filling it needs to do that. Moreover, different commercial and military ships that pass through sometimes drag along these like the USS Guardian from the US.

[@atlf3357]

Huh…why am I not surprised

[@ashleybennet9243]

Absolutely disgusting what we’re doing to our planet. Southeast Asia is gorgeous I pray I make it their some day ❤️

The spooky theremin music when the cuttlefish starts its light show 🤣

Didn't expect this video to be this amazing, mesmerized by the beauty of cuttlefish. Keep up the good work BBC. Please also show the dark side of shooting like all the plastic in oceans , destruction of coral reefs etc..

Wow! What a smart cuttlefish! Did it go to college to learn how to make those color changing cells? How did it learn to hypnotize? Fascinating!

[@ctcboater]

If you look at the pattern movement closely, it gives the illusion of movement - away from the prey.

Imagine finding a pulsating source of radiation in space that catches your attention. Maybe a neutron star very far away? you set course towards it on your hyperdrive, and no sooner than you start the jump, the warp ends, and you find yourself eneveloped in the body of a space-dwelling predator that harvests your fuel and hyperdrive radiation to live on and prey on more explorers throughout its million-year lifespan.

[@Mr.ReanuKeeves]

I've caught a cuttlefish once, when I was younger and I remember changing It's colours. It was really cool.

[@jackback70]

I can understand the crab, if I saw something like that on my front lawn, I’d also be stunned beyond comprehension😂
