[@OddAnimalSpecimens]

I use the word "octopus" instead of "octopuses" about a dozen times in this video. My bad - I trouble with pluralities. Reply to this comment with any other corrections! Thanks for watching my friends :)

[@jcnightingale233]

Great video!! I have a question, does the ethanol and/or specimen have a smell? Thanks!

[@freitchetsleimwor2406]

"Octopi" sayers rise up

[@JayBirdJay]

If you wanna change things up, you can get away with using "octopodes" as well

[@nabilahsnaturestudio]

I thought its "octopi"

[@FranciscoCastelluccio]

I thought the preferred word was octupi 🤔

[@briantaylor3204]

That first octopus wasn't small! He was perfectly adequate! Some would say huge even!

[@davidwong656]

It's not the size of the boat, its the motion on the ocean. With a funnel.

[@StellarLimpkin]

Sounds like a man with an insecure octopus

[@toranimations8203]

Yeah it is huge, the camera man and the camera are just universal, *GODZILLA HIMSELF* is scared of that octopus

[@hope4fur130]

He has a great personality!

[@platomixto7713]

It is average size

[@thatguy9833]

This guy is gonna say "Here is my favorite jar, of babies." One day

[@jamiehughes5573]

Just wait until he whips out the jars of preserved animal penises(yes they indeed exist)

[@alisinamobaraki8790]

So informational and complete. I love these small little intelligent octis

[@MultiMates7]

Do you have a blue ringed octopus?

[@williamschmitz9129]

Would like to know as well

[@contsgold5944]

Or if he has is it stil poisonus?

[@Masham20006]

I shared this channel with my biology professor and now she loves watching your videos😂 And i showed clown fish video of your to my mom and she is shocked and now she also enjoys watching She is shocked to know that sequential hermaphrodites even exist I am a biology student and i love these videos Keep up the good work

[@pakacomilla3123]

In Hawai’i they are hunted in our waters. We’re taught to bite between the eyes to kill it quickly as we can. Tako Poke (chopped octopus) is really good as a pupu (appetizer). Try it if you guys are ever in Hawai’i🤙🏼

[@Matthaeus0]

Not sure how to feel bout that

[@toranimations8203]

@@Mulgah YOU EAT TURTLES? *THATS A REPTILIC DISGRACE, SHAME ON YOU* (jk)

[@toranimations8203]

You bite them between in the eyes alive- *yep im not going to Hawai’i now*

[@citrus_sweet]

lol I was raised on the mainland but when I visited my island cousins and watched them grab animals out of the ocean and eat them raw, I... 😱

[@iris_isnt_here]

*do not read if your eating* some people refer poop as pupu LMAO

[@octopusoup]

Octopuses are my all time favorite animal and I'm always happy learning more details about them.

[@citrus_sweet]

I love octopi! I'm mostly a snail gal but cephalopods have a lot in common with gastropods so it's cool learning about octopi physiology and realizing how similar they are (outside of the whole limbs issue).

[@ItsWolf0]

Gastro, iso, and cephalo pods are all so cool

[@jordy6913]

Wouldn't the definitions of "arms" and "tentacles" make more sense if they were flipped? Like, we have arms, and they end in a grippy bit. We don't have grippy bits along our arms

[@brandonpope244]

I will now be referring to my hands as grippy bits

[@theonlyabberdabber]

Grippy bits only at the ends mean we have tentacles!

[@KingSpades]

Can we get another long animal skull identification video like the canine skull one it was honestly really entertaining XD

[@hafsabatool8895]

I can not appreciate enough how I love these sort of videos.

[@a_randomclown]

“We’re gonna take some tweezers” *grabs chopsticks of death*

[@arctvrvs277]

Man I would love to see you unpacking some deep sea critters next

[@jessicaworek2994]

Just found your videos. Loved your “Weird but True” show and I’m glad to have found more of your educational works. 😊

[@Goji_15]

Octopusses are my fav animals. They are so cool. And now I know even more of them. Thx

[@haydeeznuts6100]

was waiting for him to tell us the importance of the one "scoop" at the end of the male arm, can anyone educate me?

[@rubymarie6232]

I think what I've learned is that the scoop scoops the other male octis sperm out of the female so he will have a better chance of having offspring from her instead of the others.

[@blackking1837]

Basically it's their penis

[@lim3400]

well you see,

[@creativetitle9247]

Lovely video, it's always nice to be able to directly see what someone is talking about with obscure anatomy. You mentioned the ethanol gets clouded with bits of the specimens over time, hence it turning yellow; do you/curators/etc. ever pour it out and put new ethanol in, or is there some reason why not?

[@AverageAufa]

thank you for sharing with us such cool facts!! sending love from singapore

[@kremis_9714]

What a wonderful video! So informative and entertaining!

[@kipiwijit]

this is my new favorite channel

[@prathamsarts1284]

Keep up the cool work dude if you have any more fish species make about it

[@Sherrilynn27]

Great sound effects!!🐙

[@tebms8215]

Thank you for these!!!

[@freitchetsleimwor2406]

While watching the video the whole time I was thinking about how "Squidward Tentacles" is actually canonically an octopus

[@DemonEyes23]

"And when I say everything, I'm exaggerating" 😂

[@easyybreezeyy]

The octopus is my favourite animal, I even have a tattoo 🖤

[@megannicole7]

I really wanna see how snails and hermit crabs make their shells (like a Timelapse or something)

[@EarthMediaSpecies101]

Amazing channel, new sub 👍

[@Shay.bae92]

I want a octopus one day they are so cool and intelligent. On a side note.. you have really nice teeth 😊

[@caomouse8829]

I expected live Octopus, but then I saw your channel name 💀

[@johnmeans7077]

just amazing, thanks for this. cuttlefish as next video. =)

[@Becauseimme]

A lot of Koreans are salivating, watching this video. 🍜

[@azethe]

Lmao

[@matttheking1655]

This video made me think about one of my favourite movie Character; Davy Jones,...👍🐙

[@BRICKBUILDER_Lego]

I got 14 numbers just one off! Also I love watching ur vids they r so entertaining !

[@jowesterman6476]

As a kid, I used to love going to the Museum of Curiosity in Arundel U.K.

I want to see you on blue’s clues!! you’re perfect for the role 😢.

Great video!

[@user-fz4vy8mh7j]

This looks so cool 😎 I’m excited for it too and I’m getting an octopus 🐙 for my friend

[@user-be1cv5vl2z]

very interesting information about octopuses

[@Pkitherian]

This is very interesting i m so in to it i didnt realize that the vid ended

[@user-fz4vy8mh7j]

Wow that’s amazing and you are very lucky

[@that1corvid]

I just remembered a type of jellyfish that can never die (when it will, it changes back into a baby)

[@guybrush1701]

Well this video was quite.....jarring.

[@JJAB91]

How often do you need to change out the ethanol in the jars?

[@UnknowinglyDerpy]

This is the weirdest calamari mukbang I've ever seen that aside, They all look so cute

[@JESUS-IS-KING-777.]

Thank you for inspiring me to be a biologist

[@mariusfrancescoacope2468]

"How do they poop?" Got me😂😂😂

[@jessiejess1228]

The reason why occupied put their legs in when they zoom out from shooting water out their tunnel is because so they can be more aerodynamic or should I say water dynamic so they can move faster and further

[@noahjackson2881]

Release 2min ago? Also Have Any penguin specimens?

[@user-fz4vy8mh7j]

Wow so beautiful🐙

[@nonnnth]

That tiny octopus looks like what I had that time at a shabushabu place

[@Pitohui_holztz]

i want more birds (specialy south america ones)

[@Eugene95277]

Octopus? I like it

[@nathancomixproductions466]

I guessed 13. I was so close.

[@tigokooreman9912]

So is the arm with the scoup from the male also considered an arm or is that a tentacle?

[@jonathanjacob2053]

It’s an arm. The “scoop” is the octopus equivalent of a penis

[@thiagogoncalves7389]

It's the inverse of a tentacle---It has suckers everywhere except the tip, wheras tentacles have suckers only at the tip

[@tigokooreman9912]

@@thiagogoncalves7389 yeah but is that actually called that?

[@BrixRebel]

​@@tigokooreman9912 from what I've heard that's they're reproductive organ

"Look at this, it's so tiny!"- that's what my sister said.

🤨

[@ylihao]

Was gonna ask for a comparison between an octopus and a squid. Got it at 8:05 😆

[@LushFishyTanks]

Do you have any froggy stuff?

[@zabirmhmahdi4203]

I thought they were submerged in Formaldehyde, the ones in our school certainly are.

[@MrWow-mt3qe]

I never new that they had arms

[@Ldacon]

Make playlists! Your shows could be the Bob Ross of biological science. Your shows are like Blue's Clues, Bob Ross, and How It's Made had an Internet baby.

[@Nakshatrasengupta]

Do one on arthropods, please!

[@TheToneBender]

I guessed 15 ^^

[@jacobmichie3976]

what is your job i love it so much

[@kioly_ah]

太有意思了

[@jacobharding5843]

yo i literally guessed 15 or 16 octopuses, i got it righttt

[@anteaterborzoiTheBigBorzoi]

"Most importantly, how do they poop?"

[@Articuno280]

I didn’t know that octopus was so tiny

[@megansutton9699]

Does this mean that Off the Hook’s band name in the Japanese version of Splatoon 2 is just… “Arms”?

[@chaboi6372]

The forbidden shot

[@sabakamahusky594]

So they have a built in jet pack

[@enenshow3147]

I love octopuses❤❤❤❤❤

[@jasperjaynes9638]

Could you see the mantle get bigger when it sucks in water?

[@Tenmo8life]

So you are telling me that i have zero arms? Because last time i checked, i didnt have suction cups going all the way down to my armpits

[@0cards0]

is this their real color? or the liquid changed it?

[@friedrichfazbear5469]

Do you guys have any bigger squid specimens?😊

[@colourftw]

Do the males use the scoop for anything?

[@painxroses0710]

Can we get fish anatomy, specifically Ray finned fish ??

[@theWightRabbit]

Why does the phrase "where is the octopus butthole" make me think of a Beatles tune?

[@TeaRex-wt2mj]

I see something thatlooks like a thrid eye on the mantle 4:31

[@kamehamehuyle9108]

so you mean squidward has 6 tentacles!?

[@Vitomiguel822]

Octopus but a little bit small

[@Dragonfire2505]

Is there a reason male octopuss have this one special arm? Does it has a function?

[@natewygant8085]

This video made me hungry

[@jinxular3884]

Guys, am I the onlyone who feels like they wanna chew these octopuses soooo badly?

[@garemboi]

why do i unironically wanna eat the specimens, its like soysauce-glazed grilled octopus with a sprinkle of seasonings on it 💀

[@happyclover_281]

i got it right! 15 octopuses

Wow 15 i guessed correct :0
