Giant Octopus Hunts and Crushes Crab Alive | Close Up

This fascinating scene shows off the masterful talents of the octopus, from changing colors to shape-shifting through across the sea floor. The main event: the octopus finds a crap, envelopes it with its tentacles, and crushes it to death. It then picks the crab clean, leaving only the shell behind.

What gets me about octopuses is that they're completely colourblind, yet they can instantly match the colour and texture of their surroundings.

[@thecloneguyz]

Yeah but they can see ultraviolet which is how they're able to do it

[@Juel92]

They can actually see colors by bending their pupils certain ways.

[@teeanahera8949]

Not sure where this myth arrived. They can see more colours than humans. “Octopuses are not color blind and have excellent color vision. They have specialized cells called chromatophores that allow them to change color and blend in with their surroundings. Octopuses can see a wide range of colors, including ultraviolet light, which is invisible to humans.”

Many years ago, at the Steinhart Aquarium in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, they had the Octopus in with other exotic shellfish, in one area of the exhibit. Somehow the Octopus figured out how to release the catch on his tank lid, and climbed out, Now being a hungry Octopus, he made his way down the other tanks and ate all those exotic shellfish, they discovered him the next morning finishing off the last of the shellfish.

The crab shell is probably one of the worst evolutionary defense - ever - it's virtually useless against ALL of it's predictors, from tiny little worms to "soft" body predictors, to fishes that basically eaten it alive. Truly one of the rare occasions where mother nature failed epically. Sorry crabby, back to dance in the island.

[@r.awilliams9815]

I disagree. It's a very successful evolutionary pattern. There are thousands of species of crabs, in all of the worlds oceans, and they have been around for over 200 million years in the fossil record. That's not a fail, that's a resounding success.
