Masters Of Camouflage: The Octopus

#ScubaDiving #Ocean #MastersOfCamoflauge #IndonesianOctopus #CoconutOctopus
Octopus is the most intelligent and widely populated among the entire Ocean. There are many different types of the octopus with some are deadly for humans. They are masters of camouflaging themselves among the reef with a skin ability to mimic exact the same color and the texture of the surface.
In this video you can see the footage of 3 different octopuses of the same species, which I was fortuned to film on several dives within Lembeh Strait area. The baby, is only about 2 inches long, the mid-size octopus is about 2 feet and the Giant one, is over 4 feet in length. Aren't they amazing? Post your comments, support my channel. Thanks for watching!

[@missingno.992]

It's the fact that they understand and can add texture to their skin that stands out most to me

[@dododododododod]

Yeah i m still confused that those spikes are real or just the imitation.

[@Xomatik123]

Their suckers are extremely sensible and almost have brains of their own, maybe they somehow map out the texture so they can reproduce it but I'm no expert

[@jasonantigua6825]

@@Xomatik123 I’m quite sure you’re right! I’ve heard each sucker is far more sensitive than the tip of a humans finger

[@riogrl324]

God is great

[@nikkygovier3783]

It's interesting that they have copper based "blue blood". Makes you wonder whether the so called "blue blooded aristocracy" are really shape shifters 😉

[@timothyehrler4325]

I once read that an Octopus escaped it's own tank and was found in the shrimp tank (its favorite food). So the keeper decided to "punish" it by giving it an little electric shock. And then put it back in its own tank. Then they set up a camera to watch it, and it would escape, feed, and then go back in its own tank by morning! They are very smart creatures.

[@bosskid6669]

Me: I'm bored. My brain: Let's go see some octopuses changing colour Me: oh yh. That'll be fun

[@MaaarcusDarling757]

Imagine having that much brain power and control, to be able to touch something and turn into it... as a human.

[@beyondthewatersurface]

good idea! any lizard people replies? :)

[@jonathanfelso]

Its not brain power that lets them do that. It's magic.

[@DawkBrawlin]

They just put alot of xp into stealth

[@ajmacabre6917]

I love how Octopods always look so suspicious of everything. With the way their pupils are so narrow, they just constantly seem to being going "Yeah? And what are *you* up to, ya sketchy bastard??"

[@rekhakushwaha48]

Octopus are like water wizards!! They glide and then stand.

[@chrisjetton4491]

Probably the closest we'll get to extraterrestrial aliens.

[@megadeoxys914]

Wait until we can explore deeper... We found Angler Fish; who knows what other satanic horrors lie below?

[@rubrub9609]

The Octopus is like bro leave me alone. XD

Lol fortnite gay thats why

[@caylatalbert5372]

Good one

[@kollinking317]

this is the most incredible creature out there in my eyes! great work on the video. I could have watched for hours. thank you for the video very entertaining

[@beyondthewatersurface]

+Kollin King you are very welcome! Glad you like it!

[@mikehawk.]

The music is fine, why are people complaining

[@winstonchurchill8300]

Amazing! The octopus even managed to change colour of the ground around him from blueish to reddish. That's power!

[@beyondthewatersurface]

+Winston Churchill once they see you are not dengerous, they are fun to watch... and, yes, they can blend to any surface around, not just underneath like cuttlefish.

[@winstonchurchill8300]

Beyond The Water Surface Yes but these octopi even changed the colour of the ground, not only of themselves.

[@beyondthewatersurface]

really? where did you see that?

[@winstonchurchill8300]

Beyond The Water Surface Right in the thumbnail and the beginning of the video.

[@stefanchristopher6303]

You realise he's shining a light on them right? The light is changing the colour of the ground.

[@Howlingburd19]

Octopuses are literally the closest things to aliens that we have on this planet O.o

[@buschlicker1932]

The first person to see an octopus was probably not okay for a few days after😂😂

[@LWT1331]

Chameleon: I can change color. Octopus: Hold my ink.

[@rodrigodemiguellamminen5244]

As a scuba diver, I can assure you that some octopuses are absolutely impossible to spot (at least not without a lot of experience).

[@beyondthewatersurface]

Agreed. When they are not moving, we can't spot them.

[@erstwhile6163]

Revisiting this INCREDIBLE footage, I must apologise for critiquing the music when everything else is so wonderful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this incredible video.

[@beyondthewatersurface]

thank you... I spent other 30 hours underwater and 10 days of diving to film those clips... I think what I've seen down there is worse to share to other people who wants to learn about life underwater... music... yeah... using some KZbin music and free modified demos, while learning how to make it... some projects takes years and lots of practice to complete.

[@sharonneethling2243]

I used to eat octopus and I love it. But when I found out just how intelligent they are and so unique. I have never eaten them again. I absolutely love them now.💞

[@Kaemea]

Same here!

Totally amazing, would be like humans transforming into rocks, birds, cats and dogs.

[@rollseyes286]

I am so obsessed with octopuses!!

[@nadykovalsky3781]

Me too. I like it

[@viktorgoa]

Octopuses are so special, they evolved on a completely seperate line. Our closest ancestors lived more 600 million years ago, when life was in a simple multicell form. Yes you're looking at an alien, where nature invented itself again. Intelligence in a different form

[@lisainger6751]

When I look at this beautiful creature, the theory of evolution becomes nonsensical.

[@lb52person69]

@@lisainger6751 what is evolution to you? I'm not sure we are thinking of the same thing if this makes it nonsensical to you.

[@lisainger6751]

@@lb52person69 I mean that this octopus was created and didn't evolve. Like fish grew feathers and became birds. There is no fossil evidence in the world that supports evolution and there are millions of fossils that have been found. No fossil has ever shown any sign of becoming something else. eg a fish growing wings and suchlike.

[@PythonTP]

lisa inger god you’re ignorant. Evolution isn’t even a hard fact based thing to understand

[@IchiExorz]

These creatures are magical.

[@picturepickle4992]

To be honest I've always wanted to see all 15 transitions this beautiful creature could do but I've mostly seen people only place in the Lionfish, Sea Snake, and Flatfish I'm glad I got to see some other transitions here though! Thank you!

[@royalewithchz]

These things are the most alien creatures on this planet. Like holy crap are they ever cool. They have superhero powers, two of them, and people barely mention them unless they’re on a menu.

[@beyondthewatersurface]

"one of those channels"... you come here made all these comments...so?

[@staybizzyentertainment1759]

Not only can an octopus change colour instantly like that, I also learned recently they can edit their genes, effectively re writing their DNA/RNA to adapt to their environment. Unbelievably cool.

[@beyondthewatersurface]

Wow! Did not know this! We will have some of our RNAs re-written with covid shots soon too, not sure if this will give us ability to change skin colors!

[@random-no3qx]

[@theelexgrahameshow2023]

Is anyone else here because of Joe Rogan? This is some amazing footage by the way. I can tell they do not like us. They always look grumpy when found or followed. Telling their buddies "Dude I changed like 4 times, and this thing just kept following me."

[@lucastinator6094]

nah theyre actually rly friendly and curious, and will actually interact with you until they get bored

[@EXITLlFE]

I always wonder what the octopus are thinking when a human swims down and shines a flashlight on them in the middle of their disguise lmao. "Bro wtf are you doin rn fr" 3:06

[@kato_dsrdr]

Damn. Sometimes I think about how tf would evolution even start to produce shapeshifting ability.

[@leeannwilson5424]

Apparently an octopus escaped from its tank in one of those big indoor aquarium facilities, then TOTALLY escaped the facility itself by ripping a drain cover out of the floor and crawling down the drain like fucking Andy Dufresne in Shawshank, which emptied directly into the nearby ocean...I think this happened in New Zealand like 15 years ago.

[@oceanview3879]

Excellent video!

[@justinperry2520]

Octopuses are basically chameleons of the seas

[@dacypher22]

They are, but their camouflaging ability goes far beyond what chameleons can do. I believe all the best camouflagers are in their family. The ones capable of creating complex patterns in under 1 second.

[@somebodymee6535]

This is so fascinating to watch. I don’t know how dangerous they are but this is beautiful.

It is also impressive how it can walks and swims that fast. It looks like an alien though.... I would be scared...

[@AussieDad79]

If that isn’t proof aliens are on Earth I don’t know what is!

[@hnek]

as much as I love seeing how incredible the color and texture changes are, I hate that they have to be chased, poked at and spotlighted to get it to happen. I'm conflicted.

[@beyondthewatersurface]

If you conflcted watch spear fishing channels. Divers I dive with are not allowed to touch anything on the reef, simply because it' s a rule to protect the environment and it could be deadly.

[@hnek]

@@beyondthewatersurface Thank you. Yeah I'd rather not watch spear fishing! And of course they are killed without compunction or understanding, you're right.

Thanks for saying that! I did not know this rule. I always had thought either form was correct, but I learned something today!!! ... besides the awesomeness of octopuses (which I DID know about, but hadn't seen quite like here! ;-) Thanks again!!!

[@aldrinbenny5412]

They can just camouflage in matter of a second, their camouflage reaction is superb, they can not only replicate colours but also the texture or irregularities of the surface they use to hide, their tentacles are said to be able to act like their brain, their body is super slimy and flexible that there is no hard body part except for their beak, it can squeeze through or fit into any tiny space unless it's smaller than their eye cavity size, all these abilities makes the octopus almost invisible to its predators. It's just joyful to watch.
