Mantis Shrimp and Cuttlefish

Mantis Shrimp and Cuttlefish in Bali, Gili Islands, Kanawa and Komodo National Park.

[@700bond700]

The ability to change colors and texture so drastically is amazing. The closest we can come to that is a suntan and goosebumps.

[@broadbandislife]

Well our ancestor never really had much need to be discount chameleons so...

[@HumperMKB]

Lolol

[@MagikFingers420]

Wow u didnt even seemed phased by that beautiful sea turtle. That was amazing, great video! Must have been so fun to explore these creatures in their world.

[@-Gurza-]

From what I've seen, the Mantis Shrimp solves all of its problems by punching them.

[@matt2centerback]

+Gurza Like Saitama. Hehehe.

[@kroakie4]

Gurza, yep. He needs to take anger management courses.

[@wesso27]

wedson soares I'm disappointed in myself for getting the refrence

[@ShadowFox178]

There is a mantis shrimp that skewers it’s problems.

[@claym2940]

OH MY GOD THERE'S A CUTTLEFISH *completely disregards the grazing sea turtle*

[@toddbronaugh6382]

I wanted to see more of the turtle

[@PCBSLC]

Spoiler alert: The turtle sat there, not moving much

[@spacepioneer4070]

Well, true...Perhaps some people are interested in the turtle's patterns, or beauty all together. Sea Turtles live a very long time, and their markings can tell a story. It's not always what they do, but where they've been. Food for thought :)

[@PCBSLC]

I do love sea turtles as well. I saw a few on my dives last week and was very excited! However, they are much more common to find in the wild and they don't need as much time in the spotlight to represent their nature. No disrespect intended.

[@spacepioneer4070]

Patrick Beecroft It's all good :)

[@rsuriyop]

That funny mantis shrimp at the beginning playing "now you see me, now you don't."

[@whereserik]

Great filming! That's hard to do, esp when snorkeling. It's very clever how you staged the camera and wrangled the cuttlefish to it. You did such a great job!

[@eqcicil]

Great footage of amazing underwater life. Thank you!

[@ProLogic-dr9vv]

What I observed about the smasher shrimp's eye is when it's actively hunting for food booth eyes will look around independently of each other until a good target is acquired then both eyes will acquire a lock on the target then move in for the kill.

[@JohnJohnson-hk7cj]

Not really my thing but your narration is natural and not exaggerated, cheers 👍

[@jonnysolar5068]

This is the perfect video for me lol - add/adhd and a fascination for mantis shrimp and cuttlefish, since I was a kid xD

[@erickj.933]

Same. Cuttlefish is my favorite wild animal!

[@ranfromtheherd2553]

I know for a fact both contenders are bad asses in their own rite . Mantis for its power punch , and Cuttle fish for its brain power and hypnotizing light show effects . This should be a good one !

[@Opuria]

ranfromthe herd mantis shrimp are highly intelligent too- they recognize individual faces and their fishy neighbors whom they interact with. they're basically aliens.

[@cdnerin]

GREAT video, thank you so much for sharing part of your trip! I find Cephalopods absolutely fascinating, s well as mantis shrimp!

[@OceanSwimmer]

Great footage. Thank you for posting this. Hans and Lotte Haas traveled the world observing & filming ocean creatures - They encouraged Marine Biologists to go to the habitat to learn, instead of dynamiting coral reef to bring to the lab for reassembly (the very old school method!) They believed it was vital to view creatures in their habitat to gather relevant information about behavior. (sorry, got a bit off topic)

[@frankl1024]

Thank you so much for sharing your snorkeling trip with us, I really enjoyed it. Awesome footage.

[@Jkatz9y]

Some great photography; I very much enjoyed watching these creatures close up in their natural habitat. Many thanks :)

[@amandadenoyer3590]

It’s like the mantis keeps entering the room for a flamboyant entrance but no one is there to appreciate him.... “haaaa... oh no one’s here...”. “Haaaayyy!!!! ... damnit”... “ heeyyy guys! It’s me!”

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

Nice filming. This looked like a lot of fun. Cuttlefish are just so weird.

[@eligebrown8998]

😂😂😂 550 reminded me of a cartoon. Greatt videos.

I was falling asleep with the relaxing sounds of the air bubbles.

Wow man, you got some really great footage of that cuttlefish.. amazing!!

[@mekhailkazairanmagic2244]

Love it thanks for sharing this

[@Scottieguru]

Those two species are really the "Glam Rockstars" of the ocean. Good footage.

[@AdamsWorld84]

WOW! you have some INCREDIBLE footage of cuttlefish! it reminds me of how spaceships move around in movies! to me the ocean is where the Aliens of this world are! we might give them a name but looks pretty Alien to me. Great video!

[@PandaSavitar]

@1:00 I just love the perfect TIMING 🤣

[@JamesKing2understandinglife]

Excellent video. Thank you!!

[@HurtzSoGood2]

Do you do a lot of diving? I want to go, but know absolutely nothing about it. I've heard Vietnam has some awesome scuba, and is basically the new Thailand since Thailand is so touristy now.

[@amywildermann1672]

We do love to dive and have done it a few places, with Indonesia and Sipidan being the best. Don't know about Vietnam. Diving is easy really, just take a course (cheaper in Asia) and you won't regret it. Do it soon, the oceans are changing mighty fast.

[@GoshDarnBarnOwls]

5:31 JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!

[@kalloykalloy]

Wow!! Incredible nice shots! Thanks for The movie. 👍👍

[@YesItsReallyKeith]

super ! would love to know the details of your setup/camera you were using ! cheers

[@Roosevelts_Mom]

Thank you SO much for sharing these clips--and your enduring efforts at getting good shots! I've long loved cuttlefish, though sadly, the only time I've seen one 'in the flesh' was in a shallow bucket at a Hong Kong fish market..:-( I'm so jealous of you right now!!!!!!

[@Amoniak7]

3:30 TURTLE!!!

[@xr55]

Amoniak7 It's a logger head sea turtle. An endangered species! 😮

A genuine alien world down there. Life is do different in these places to the terrestrial.

[@daviddylan9097]

screw falcon punch, we need mantis shrimp punch

[@whateveryouwant4743]

David Dylan a punch so powerful that the mere force tears the water apart, heating it up to the heat of the sun...yeah falcon doesn't even compare xD

[@Lord_have_mercy_on_me_a_sinner]

1. That's is the pistol shrimp that does that, not the mantis shrimp, and that phenomenon only happens for a millisecond and it isn't even a punch just a massive amount of tension being released at once to fire a concussive blast for a small distance 2. Captain falcon does the same thing and his fist also reaches the temperatures of the sun and that is actually a punch

[@xxjoebamaxx7782]

@@whateveryouwant4743 you know that Falcons actually punch? While, diving. At mach 7 speeds. Mantis shrimp punches mostly just destroy shells of other crustaceans, and the sun's surface is only so hot because there is so much of it. Meanwhile falcon punches are enough to dislocate the heads of creatures twice their size, so yeah falcon punch is better and yes, I know this is a joke.

[@concerncitizen8988]

Great video. Thumbs up.

[@eugenecod]

wow i saw sea turtle so beautiful

[@DeathmatchRadio]

Pretty sure that octopus you found at the end was dying -- Looked like a female who was either still helping some eggs or she was dying after having helped out the eggs. Octopus moms have to manually oxygenate their young so they will hide under places like that to safely do so.

[@AdumMoto]

Yeah I was thinking the same... She def didn’t look like she was in good shape. And they usually hide their eggs in hard to find places where they take care of them, keep them clean, away from predators, etc. I’m surprised no one else caught that!

[@s.mcchristy9704]

[@herbderbler1585]

Cuttlefish look like someone made a Funko Pop of Cthulhu.

[@kindtimetraveler]

I’m gonna assume your day job isn’t professional wildlife photographer/film maker, but this was some of the best cuttlefish footage I’ve seen!!! You clearly went to a lotta trouble and were rewarded with some amazing shots. Thanks for sharing!!!!☺️

[@wrmacdonald9383]

amazing work

[@Whitpusmc]

I was adopted by a family of cuttlefish off St Thomas island. I was snorkeling and they kept positioning themselves around and underneath me using me as a shield against something or just checking out the funny looking fish with no gills?

[@MDNAandGAGA]

So cool!

[@doryscutebooksrefuge9562]

Is the mantis shrimp a smasher or spearer?

That giant cuttle fish looks terrifying to be close to. I don't think that would stop me though
