[@LoganXForce92]

Thank you! I've been following your channel for a long time and I happened to have the game already, so this is a generous offer from your channel.

[@eliasmai6170]

@animalogic Danielle's hair is just like a mimi octupus.

[@SorenAlba54]

It is crazy how of all those species of octopuses and cuttlefish, only two of them take shapeshifting to the next level. I’ll never not be surprised by this extraordinary creature.

[@shauno5888]

I love mimic octopuses. Also, I can't help but giggle every time I hear "Wonderpuss." It sounds like a Hannah Barbara cartoon character.

[@darrenswails]

Bond movie temptress?

[@Eloraurora]

Like an overachieving relative of Snagglepuss?

[@TheEbrithil2]

I thought more like porn star

[@TausifAhmad03]

007's Octopussy is more hilarious though

[@TCD.Animals]

I agree 😂

[@_jonaldjames]

Clownfish: I live in an Amnemonemomne Mimic Octopus: I *AM* the anemone. 4:54

[@GaryDunion]

A thing I think about all the time is if far-future paleontologists only knew about the mimic octopus from fossils they would never in a million years guess it could do all this stuff. Makes you wonder what incredible abilities extinct animals might have had that we'll never know about!

[@crayonzii]

I often think about this as well! Along with some unique appearances and sounds that present day animals have/make.

[@Cinderpelt1002]

As discussed in the video, the wonderpuss is commonly mistaken for a mimic octopus, EVEN IN THIS VIDEO! 6:00 This is a wonderpuss mimicking a sea snake here.

[@madmanminkler1382]

I don't remember watching a single Animalogic video with a sponsor so hearing Danielle do one feels surreal

[@gmaxsfoodfitness3035]

I've noticed their recent videos have sponsors. The spots aren't too bad though so I'm not bothered by it and it's nice they can tie it into the content in some way like catching a lionfish in the sponsored game that the mimic octopus can also mimic.

[@ps7ykLiTT]

She's been having a lot of Betterhelp sponsor segments over the last year or two though? I just found this particular one a bit jarring since she usually doesn't do video game sponsors, if ever at all (until now).

[@BillHimmel]

The cognitive abilities to master so many patterns and behaviors must be considerable! A vid about the oktopus-brain would be surely interesting !

[@ChrispyNut]

Brain"S".

[@ruvbekadie464]

8:19 ok that was funny

[@corbechupacabra]

Your transformation at the end killed me!

[@Mel-sn5dl]

animalogic = animorphs confirmed

[@JesseKeegan]

Future episode maybe: sea pangolin/volcano snail, due to being the most metal 'thing' alive. 🖤 🐌

[@QUIRK1019]

I am kicking myself for not having thought to request one of my favorite animals! I love how octopuses force you to rethink everything you thought you understood about how animals work

[@lilbasenji1]

I would love to see you guys talk about spiny soft shell turtles, American woodcocks, beaked whales, or black footed ferrets.

[@QUIRK1019]

7:47 omg i thought it was just me who hadn't heard of Mimic Octopuses until the turn of the century. Turns out I wasnt alone!

[@SytRReD]

I love octopuses so much, I could watch hours of videos on all of them!

[@benmcreynolds8581]

I had a thought the other day: We see so much intelligence from the Octopus BUT imagine how far they could upgrade if they could pass on their knowledge to future generations? Currently they live very short lifes and die before ever getting to interact with their children. So it's even more mind blowing thet have been capable of achieving what they do when they live such sort lifes and have no one to help them learn in the short period of time that is their lifecycle

[@kaceyreed1284]

This!

[@BCEustaquio]

Requesting again, please ! talk about the Road Runners =]

[@carey4303]

I’m in the desert & have three roadrunners I feed almost daily. They have the cutest personalities, move almost comically and sometimes follow me around the property! ❤

[@heathercreates]

Yes, I love the mocktopus!!!

[@pitv1per838]

Who does the art for y'all, its sick

[@antoniousai1989]

The host herself, Danielle Dufault, she's a specialized animal artist

[@Scarlet_Soul]

But just like Odo this changeling can't do faces

[@SumThingFawful]

Ayoo!! Odo catching random strays lol

[@allisonbergh4429]

(RIP Rene Auberjonois 😢)

[@ChrispyNut]

Just as with one of the main characters in Spinward Fringe, I forget their name, they're Issyrian. They struggle with human faces too, usually exaggerating the size of the eyes and smile. EDIT: "Agameg" is their name.

[@VampcatVvvvV]

Why is the lionfish mentioned as being common in Florida without mentioning that it shouldn't be there. It's an invasive species wreaking havock.

[@Dellvmnyam]

1:19 Not the first time I've seen crickets or grasshoppers don't care about being eaten.

[@allenyudistira]

I have one friend that suddenly act so kind , needs to make sure he isn't an octopus D:

[@ericthompson3982]

Among the many reasons I can no longer eat octopus. There's very little that lives in the water that I won't eat, but octopuses are among that group.

[@gmaxsfoodfitness3035]

I agree. I had octopus sushi years ago like once but no more. Not that their texture is even pleasant to eat IMO either.

[@jeffreybernath6627]

Wunderpus photogenicus sounds like a made-up binomial for a children's cartoon. Like Unobtainium, only for an animal.

[@NachoPango]

The ending 😭

[@dylanmcshane9976]

Nice hairstyle. Havnt seen it before.

[@tonydeluna8095]

So beautiful ❤!!

[@100dfrost]

Love the hair. Great video thanks.

[@animalogic]

So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@rinaznajim8008]

Thank you Animalogic!! I saw my request on the video too ❤️

[@Totaku20]

Thank you for another amazing video @Animalogic! I did want to mention that the captions for this video don't match what Danielle is saying. I love using captions as I listen at low volume but it helps me follow along better. Can these be updated to match her transcript, in this and future videos please?

[@Astr_92]

Octopuses are truly fascinating creatures🥰

[@MeAuntieNora]

The ending was so charming!

[@rosswebster7877]

Thank you Danielle and Animalogic crew!! It isn't every day I learn about an animal I didn't even know existed!! And here I thought we pretty much found every cephalipod there is!!

[@thunderd7904]

6:36 bruh that sounds like a stripper name 🤣

[@SrinivasGanesh]

That ending! hahaha

[@philipb2134]

I refuse eating octopus. They are amazingly smart creatures. Your choice.

[@patriciadean1649]

And you’re an artist of the highest order

[@footfault1941]

Everyone may wonder if a octopus has ever seen all those object animals in his life .... Are there any local versions? Amazing!

[@alwaleedalthani9624]

You got one thing wrong ! There is an isolated population near Dahab in the Red Sea too

[@jasonlow6943]

XD i had a sneaking suspicion you were a mimic octopus all along...

[@pRODIGAL_sKEPTIC]

Pusimimus 🐙

[@haraldschweda611]

I want my english animalogic back. Instantly! NOW!

[@AZ-rl7pg]

*Octo-Dad has entered the chat.*

[@wailingalen]

Shapeshifting 👽 aliens!!👾 Awesome show and very talented Danielle!! 😊

[@JugheadJones03]

I wonder how they can process all that pattern information like when they mimic a rock 07:37. They cannot see the entire surface they are matching all at once. Do their brains just sample the most distinct areas changes and copy that roughly? That is a really amazing evolutionary process.

[@danielcoffey4972]

Ad ends at 4:40

[@estervillafane]

Excelente no hay programa que no disfrute. Felicidades

[@electricay]

YES!! I was just thinking about them :D

[@tishab4097]

Wow, I thought I was going to see octopuses but mostly have to look at this girl. Who likes to hear herself talk, apparently.

[@souledgar]

Do we know at all if they learned the repertoire of morphs or is it somehow coded into their genes?

[@herscheljackson2781]

I almost didn't recognize you.

[@Ghennesph]

youtube is defaulting to AI generated german audio on this channel often.

[@BigArt1970]

Have you done the cuttlefish yet? My all time fav.

[@josemarialaguinge]

Octopuses are goated.

[@Kareemrx5]

Very informative video❤

[@TausifAhmad03]

WTF, Thumbnail looked like crusty BBL 😂

[@claire_pang]

Thank you Danielle for the wonderful show！ Very detailed introduction to the mimic octopus. I also made a shorts related to the mimic octopus. Welcome to watch and learn Chinese.

[@jjhggdcqz]

Please make a video about aardvarks.

[@josephboechat6020]

Porque o vídeo está em português sendo que o canal é em inglês?

[@josephboechat6020]

@animalogic Thank you

[@notchipotle]

I wanna be able to do this to hide from my wife

[@Robert-yc9ql]

I cannot understand how people can eat these creatures... There is a reason why some scientists predict they would inherit the earth should humans disappear. Their intelligence is astounding. Loved the ending, btw.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

That is extremely ignorant. No scientists seriously think that! Octopuses live very short lives and don't pass on knowledge to their offspring.

[@loveyou-hy6wh]

Do mole crickets pls

[@ChadKovac]

*that we've seen

[@footfault1941]

Viewers discretion & intelligence required, as the image is clear, but difficult to identify!

[@JM-it2zo]

So beautiful 😍

[@bryantgrove6199]

Wow!

Why did you have to say demure Danielle... Why 😢

[@jjwalker8682]

Very demure…

[@juliewinkler9203]

That ad made me feel deeply uncomfortable and overstimulated....

[@TCD.Animals]

Ailent creature actually!!!

[@tugcebalta86]

😉🤭🔆

[@GetToThePointAlready]

I love this octupus but I gotta be honest. I'm getting kind of tired of every animal youtuber and their grandma talking about it. There's never anything new said about it: -It's related to the common octopus we all know about. -It uses mimicry to avoid predation -It ChAnGeS sO QuIcKlY! -It also mimics its other animals behaviours Like yes its an amazing animal no doubt. But we get it already. LOL

[@gmaxsfoodfitness3035]

This is literally the first video I've seen on it and if you read the comments it's the same for many others. I don't care that other channels have done it. This is the first time for Animalogic who's been asked to do a video about it for 9 years (see the oldest comments on screen when she asks what animal they should cover next).

[@ChrispyNut]

MAYBE they didn't exist before the 90s, because like the other Octopoda, they're Aliens who come here for, presently unknown reasons.
