Hunting For RARE Animals In Tidepools

[@bazzingaification]

I just want to thank Forrest for existing. Haven't connected to someone like this since Steve Irwin. During the pandemic when my mental health was severely affected I found myself rewatching a lot of Irwin family videos. I did the same with Forrest. Thank you for what you do for conservation. The episode when you found the Galapagos tortoise I felt a connection to nature I had never felt before. I got this sense of hope I cant really describe it but thanks for what you do and thanks for all these videos!

[@jamesblonde2271]

You can't compare the reasonable and scientific minded Galante to Australias most famous idiot, Steve Irwin disrespected wildlife and contemptously used them for views, until his idiocy killed him.

[@TerryBerryKix]

Grew up watching the enthusiasm and appreciation for wildlife in Steve Irwin. Forrest Galante definitely shares Steve’s passion for even the smallest creatures!!

[@jamesblonde2271]

@@TerryBerryKix I remember my Dad watching him and saying to me, "Thats exactly how not to approach large or dangerous animals". Welived on a farm and I was the field assistant to a large animal vet and later a Divemaster in the pacific, If I had acted that way I would have been killed. Which of course he was.

[@los1wochos]

You felt more connected to nature than ever before. And you were still watching a youtube video from home?

[@hajiabu5176]

Forest to me is the next generation Steve Irwin.

Tide pooling in HI as a child was how I discovered love for nature. Love to see it, love the YT channel. Thanks!

I showed this to my biology class as an example of what NOT to do in a tide pool. Heaving over rocks, pulling things out ... he's literally DESTROYING the tide pool, not EXploring it. Scott Forbes - Biology Teacher - San Mateo Coast

[@unlawfulspork21]

i know right this is not ok i support you👍i will report them for animal abuse

[@TomRoberts-h8x]

fr he is destroying the tide pool he should not do this

[@BethanyEugine]

as a science teacher i agree ☝️ he is ruining the environment she should be stoped!

[@Theoriesofwonder]

Wow so many comments today but I do agree with your statement

[@Theoriesofwonder]

@@BethanyEugineso true

[@KaiKai-sg1ir]

He'e is the Hawaiian name for octopus. Tako is what some local people Call it, but "tako" comes from da Japanese influence to our island

[@hawaiingecko]

Came here to comment exactly that haha

[@murk_lurk]

Mahalo for the explanation

[@draywilson2386]

Tako is Japanese for octopus haha. Just popular in Hawai'i. He'e(hey a). Shoyu is another Japanese one Hawaii uses regularly.

[@EskenRock]

Thanks for all the hard work and risk you take to provide not only amazing entertainment but information in a positive atmosphere. I've said it before but you ARE the new Irwin we all needed. Be safe bud and keep it real.

[@Gettingbento]

So many creatures are smarter than we realize. And lurking where we don’t realize! It’s nice to have people like Forrest to speak for them and educate us. Keep it up bro! 🐙

[@Mehoyboi]

cant get enough of these man.

[@ForrestGalante]

We'll keep them coming!

He is destroying the tide pools he should be fined lots of money

Awesome video Forrest! Ive been loving these short videos!

I missed tide pooling when I stationed at camp pendleton ca. I found a small octopus once. It was super cool

[@DerringtonLatour]

Thanks for another awesome video!

Amazing, love it Forrest. Please keep making more videos like this!!

[@lukeb4687]

so amazing! i love how smart they are!

[@Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

I used to work at a fish shop in Ireland and one day an octopus was found on a crabs basket, the octopus was alive and was there by mistake. Luckily the fish shop was just 2 minutes from the shore, so I took the octopus back to the sea and released him. My boss wanted to sell it, but I convinced him to let me save it and let it go back to the sea, I had a beautiful experience with the Octopus, this video reminded me of that awesome day. ❤

[@tomerbendavid2288]

I am saying it again and again. Forrest you are the best.

[@braxtonvestal777]

Thanks forest so glad i found your youtube channel after keeping up with your podcast the last year and a half or two. My dream from the age of 5 was to be a marine biologist unfortunately that hasn't worked out for a boy from the poor foothills of Appalachia but that doesn't stop my love for ocean life and keeping some small saltwater aquariums. Youre the closest thing to steve irwin we have these days and i respect the hell out of you brother!

[@PatrickMJr]

Didn't even see you guys as a predator from the moment you reached for him... if anything I think he was just as curious about you. Such awesome animals.

[@AA-zv6yo]

Tako. Also the Japanese name for the eight legged freaks!😂 beautiful creature, so fascinating. Next you should free handle a blue ring!

[@bibiijaz6238]

Seeing you put your hands in unknown spaces gives me the willies! Interesting stuff

[@lewisweakland]

Great stuff as always! Lol, could tell that Forest was in his element/comfort zone as soon as I saw he was in bare feet when most everybody else would need foot covering to get around in such environment!

I'm familiar with intermediate disturbance thru fishkeeping. I just didn't know it had a name. My shrimp are everywhere after a vaccum. Stirring up the gravel brings up new food for the shrimp. The vac doesn't get everything and the shrimp do the rest.

[@tlb3855]

I grew up on the beach in the south of the uk.. in primary school we used to go tide pooling with the local sea life center.. we were taught it’s OK to flip the rocks over but put them back where you found them….tut tut

[@TheMysticRabbit0wnzu]

Ive always had a fear of the ocean since i nearly drowned, i had a bad experience as a child with the tide and waves and jelly fish all in one. My brothers just watched and laughed as i was pulled out 30 plus feet. My body was in a full panic and i wasnt wearing anything to help me float and only after kicking off my water shoes was i able to slowly make it back. The jelly fish stings really kicked me into high gear and i made it back with a huge red lines across my legs and 1 arm. My dad beat the shit outta my 14 and 11 year old brothers when he found out cause they were supposed to be watch me and make sure i didnt go in the water. I was just about to turn 6 years old and had only learned to swim that same year. So now i just watch videos like these cause id rather be in a forest or better yet a forested moutain range.

[@ForkRat]

Me and my sister once found an octopus while snorkling around some rocks in spain, it's probably not the same species but that one's head was bigger than my own. If this is a big one, that one was huge!

[@jdmbacon]

Interesting "tako" is also the Japanese word for octopus....I know cause I've eaten the sushi 🍣🍣

They do , a large one like the giant pacific can puncture through a divers oxygen tank

You need a small underwater camera so you can film the tidepool animals while you're describing them. Other than that, awesome video.

If I pick one up, will it be chill and not bite me? And if it does, how bad would it hurt? Stitches probably required I’m assuming.

[@Bobthebuilderwillbemine]

This is excellent stuff NOT to show kids he is destroying the tidepools he should be reported

[@nightmare62089]

You almost have to wonder if a creature that smart is studying us as much as we're studying it during interactions like that. It knew it wasn't in any danger, but is that knowledge instinctual or did it learn from other interactions with humans? They are amazing animals and it's an absolute shame that most of them have such short lifespans. Imagine what they might be able to learn if they lived more than just a few years.

Octopuses have arms, NOT tentacles! Tentacles are limbs without suction cups except at the tip. Octopus arms have suction cups all the way down.
