Woman And Octopus Are Best Friends - ELORA & EGBERT | The Dodo

[@youtubecommentsguy9805]

S B in terms of intelligence levels it is literally the same. Yet it‘s okay to eat them but not to eat a baby 🤔. Morality of our species is a strange illusion.

[@Ζωή-σ7η]

Professional KZbin Comments Guy I wouldn’t want to eat an Octopus, but the reason it’s considered not okay to eat a baby but okay to eat an octopus is because a baby is one of us, dude. Has nothing to do with intelligence, but the fact that it’s instinctually wrong to eat your offspring, and cannibalism disgusts most normal people. You wouldn’t find it normal to eat a baby that was disabled and had less intelligence than an octopus? Of course not! Intelligence shouldn’t affect your treatments of other creatures

[@youtubecommentsguy9805]

Μουσική Είναι Ζωή Who defines this? Who says because it has similar genetic information it‘s „one of us“? At which threshold is it one of us? If it has a chromosome less, is it still one of us? Why aren‘t animals one of us too? If you look at it consciously there is no difference. You don‘t feel pain of animals, neither do you feel pain of other humans. You are all for yourself. Just the moral input we grew up with decided this. And yea you can say genetically we want to enhance as a species, thus we see other humans as important and not food for ourselves but this is a wrong misconception. Only your direct family and offspring is not seen as a genetical competitor. And if this was not the case, we would never have seen so much war and destruction amongst humans in the first place.

[@Mr.Foxhat]

@@youtubecommentsguy9805 What defines it is the fact that the grand majority of all human kind agree that eating each other is wrong lol. It's not super complicated to understand how social structure works. It's no single person who defines that belief but the majority of humankind. Typically when there is a group that is cannibalistic it is largely due to outside forces and is not natural among the overall human race. It's really a dumb question. You may as well go on to act like genocide is fine and that pollution is no big deal.

@@MicheleLeeQuinn There's a huge difference between "intelligent animal behavior" and logical inference like that. It understood that it could lift the log, but that it wasn't strong enough, but the human was, so the human could do it. This could be capacity for abstraction, which is human-like intelligence, and it is indeed mind-blowing. There is basically no difference in intellect between this octopus and human baby except the human baby gets rights.

Having done a lot of diving - I can say that the octopus is an absolute marvel to encounter. Some (mostly the younger ones) are ... So curious. At first it's like "WOW! U THREAT?!" once it establishes that you are not, it's like "Eeer ... What are you then? I've never seen one of you around before." and there begins the act of mutual curiosity :3. You slowly reach with a finger, it sends a tentacle ... you both touch, sometimes they get frightened and clamp your entire hand, flashing black before letting go, but not swimming away. They are playful, find a shiny pebble, hand it to the octopus, it'll take it, check if it can be eaten ... discard it ... then a few sec after send a tentacle back to the pebble out of curiosity as to "why did he give me this pebble ... gotta check again for anything special". They really hold a very special place in my heart, it's not everyday that two species get curious about one another and attempt mutual understanding :) -comment from "the insane biology of: the octopus" video

I used to scrape barnacles offa boats that were moored when I was a teen. This octopus used to come hang out and after awhile i began feeding it some baitfish from time to time. Well, we became great, great pals. He (or she) would hover around and chase off the curious snooks n jacks that occasionally hit me in the face. Well, one day he kept coming right up in my face and grabbing at me, like he was trying to pull me up from under the boat. He also started to flash like a red strobe kinda thing (he never changed colors just when he would return to his cave n settle). Honestly if it weren't an octopus I'd have thought he was panicky. So I begin looking around, and circling the boat with its fins down and its back in a high arch is this massive, massive great hammerhead (didnt look too long but it was over 12ft). I dunno what I did to piss this shark off but I hightailed it outta there, all thanks to my octopus buddy. (As an aside, this was when I was 15 or 16, returned @25 and he was still there, and still remembered me! I wish digital cameras were a thing then cuz i still cant find a video similar to the way he was sorta moving his colors that day. ) EDIT: 1993 Goodland, FL

@@Baklavah1 hes saying that the reason this animal is displaying a high level of intelligence is because hes an octopus. Most animals wouldnt be curious/intelligent enough to approach a huge creature. Like how wild dolphins often swim beside you and greet you. These two aquatic species are definitely more intelligent then 99% of all creatures on earth (besides humans).

[@craig291086]

@@callmegary2622 I've heard stories about their intelligence and that they're one of the hardest creatures to keep contained due to their ability to problem solve and squeeze into tight areas. The story that impressed me the most was one were I heard that an octopus lived in a tank next to another tank with fish. It would wait till no one was around and climb out a gap at the top and enter the fish tank, then proceed to eat a fish or two, then return to it's own tank. They ended up getting suspicious when they seen that the fish tank was emptier by the day and found that it was the octopus. I cannot prove the validity of this story but it would be impressive if it were true.

Wonderful story! Reminds me of my own octopus encounter. Tried to remove a few stones from his stone fort, but he'd reach right out and grab them from my hands (and replaced them exactly where they'd been). He then began feeling my hands to make sure I hadn't taken anything else. And then he did something really pretty surprising - he grabbed other outlying stones as if to taunt me with them (or maybe he was just offering them to me so I wouldn't take anymore from his fort). He had turned the tables on me. It was one of the best sea experiences I'd ever had, cause I too felt like we were communicating. Know it sounds crazy, but I think he was actually having fun with me (enjoying himself). He was a good deal larger than the one in this clip (too large for a conch), but he felt secure in his homemade fortress of rocks and shells. Really wish I coulda gone back next day just like this woman did. She was so fortunate to have had this experience (and film it too). A great memory for sure!
