Not only was it entertaining to watch the intelligence and dexterity of octopuses, but the ecology and evolutionary mechanisms of octopuses were explained in a very easy-to-understand manner, and the composition of the video was reminiscent of a TV documentary to keep you entertained. Also, personally, I'm very happy to see Japanese translations.

As an animator once tasked with animating an octopus, I could tell their arms had independent intelligence. It’s the most difficult thing to animate bar none. Almost impossible to do it all 100% correct without cheats.

[@carsonhunt4642]

What’s the proof they have intelligence in the arms tho? Like what is the specific biological difference in their arms?? we have gray matter in our spines that also process and integrate (make decisions) without needing to go to our main brain. To me it just seems like standard sensory information from the peripheral nervous system being processed the same way we do our automatic responses.

Ok so a bit of background i am a 3D Modeler/Animator i was once given a project to sculpt and animate the character now the keypoint that the client needed was Realism so i had to make it lifelike 15 Hours........for 15 Hours i tried mimicking a creature that has no bones and basically works like a Sentient Alien Blob Of Goo . within those hours one of they key things i learnt is that octopus like the Cartoons or as an Animated character is much better and less time consuming than trying to understand an alien morphology and @carsonhunt4642 The proof is the literal fact that after getting an arm cut, the severed arm still manages to blend in and stay alive for almost an hour, this is not muscle spasms , its almost like an individual consciousness in short the severed tentacle is now sentient tho it cant feed itself (or anything in that matter) it will bide its time doing what a single copiousness with limited time would do Survive i dont think any other creatures in our planet other than squids and octopus have such an ability (i may be wrong , we know more about space than we do our own oceans 🤷‍♂)

[@MooMooCow95]

While it's sad the octopus has such a short life span, I read in a book it's theorized the octopus experiences time differently than us due to the sheer amount of information they're processing basically all the time. I'd like to think in those really brief moments where they swim up and touch humans, it's like they're having days long conversations just from simple touch and taste and smell. And idk. Thinking about this just makes me reflect on how we can stretch out our perception of time just by noticing and appreciating all the things around us similar to the octopus.

I know! Mark is amazing! Here's another educational fact about octopus, the dictionary plural is technically octopedes

[@arvetis]

@@notzombie3703 It really isn't. The word never actually existed in Greek, so using a Greek declension doesn't make a lot of sense, despite the half-Greek, half-Latin roots. The word was first coined in Latin, but it was modern scientific Latin, not common usage, so the need for a plural form wasn't really pressing. It didn't become a common word until it was used in English, so using the English plural probably makes the most sense.
