Invisible Octopus? - super slow motion

[sundaypro]

@FredMayX2 It's Mr. Shithead to you!

[UAVBlackBird]

thats a Cephalopod 

[randompeep100]

@FredMayX2 Nope, it's a cephlapod, SHITHEAD

[WUJUJerkSquad]

now this, ladies and gents, is how you camp.

[difficultjustice1]

yeah its called camouflaging dumnut

[cillanthe1st]

Check out that alien skull face on the lower left until :40

[MrTheYoussef]

Sub7anaAllah laa ilaha ila lah

[mikey71]

man, i had no idea that octopuses had so much to prove to people.... just accept it. they are good at camouflage. geez

[jonhgie]

Go to the new york times, Scientist at Work for the whole story... it is true, they can change their cammo very very fast, almost like magic.

[ShearSteel]

FAKE

[jonhgie]

@ShearSteel There is an actual story on The New York Times behind this video, and this video is a fact.

[SuperGerbs]

so... real or fake???

[height198cm]

@SuperGerbs it is real this is what octopuses do to disguise themselves. if your a tasty chunk of protein floating around the ocean you would want to blend in

[SuperGerbs]

@height198cm hehe u r right :)

[satan91822]

I want to know if it is real or fake!

[wookie72]

All the talk about evolution vs. creation, I think, misses the point, which is that nature is infinitely stranger than we can imagine. All Cthulu jokes aside, I feel really uncomfortable watching this, because, let's face it, it's pretty uncanny.

[PlayStationVsXBOX]

I study Cephalapods as my major I scuba dive. Trust me, this is real. Octopods are known for being able to constrict their body to match color and texture of things around them. To them this is nothing.

[wookie72]

@PlayStationVsXBOX I got turned onto this by Jaron Lanier's new book. I would say that now I probably can't eat calimari :(

[PlayStationVsXBOX]

@wookie72 Interesting book isn't it? And yeah, I can't eat Calamari anymore either. =/

[baegleboy123]

That's impossible an ocotpuses eyes can't change color. I've been studying them for eight years

[Timmaigh]

@baegleboy123

Eight years and you still can't spell octopus. Smooth...

[rmayes19]

@baegleboy123 just the skin around the octopus's eye changes.. not the eye itself. it real. get over it.

[Gameczar]

@baegleboy123 guess what buddy, it's a cuttlefish, a relative of the octopus, might wanna go back to school

[vettemafia]

beautiful music :_)

[freakmasterguile]

f-f-f-f-f-fake fake

[serpentslayer213]

Dude its real do some research..

Cuttle fish are even better than that..

School Boy error..

[aeroljohn07]

that was very very amazing...

[avgrech]

whell i am diver (not pro diver just fan) and i catch them i can spott them becawse my father taught me and his father taught him and then again his father taught him it`s qwite a long line it runs in the famoly but i am the one with glases in i have a bit of trouble spotting them ,unless they are verry close , i have to where my contacts every time :(

i go that is practicaly every day

[kdocimo90]

I think you should spend less time diving and more time learning how to write.

[XXxxSadiaxxXX]

weird lol

[yorkieluvs]

thanks for posting...I <3 cephalopods...and bio geeks cuz I am, one...

[Snootwaller]

It's really dumb to discuss whether or not this is a real piece of footage. it's a very famous piece of footage because it was used on Nova and everybody and their uncle uploaded it (myself included), but there are literally thousands of other videos of cuttlefish and octopi doing things every bit as amazing as this. This is not some once-in-a-million event, this is business as usual for your garden variety cephalopod.

[aydh83]

@Snootwaller Couldn't have said it better myself! Cephalopods are continuously impressing us, from the camouflage techniques of octopi, to the strobe-like effects of cuttlefish. Also, did you see the pbs special about how cuttlefish can be operantly conditioned? Absolutely fascinating! It's unbelievable how easy (and sad) it is for people to call fake when it's beyong their own scope of comprehension. Nature is astounding! Saw this footage on TED talks with Hanlon. So good!

[JulianLondono9]

its not invisibility its camouflage

[squiggly9]

its the invisi-pus

[garienri]

rofl nice one

[budzaholic]

think about this, if octopi dna had oppertunity to murge with humanoid dna the otopi people ould be walking around with us and we wouldent even know, they have romataphores all over their skin and they are soft tissued so they an hange the shape and txture and kolour of their skin.. shapeshifters kould be amung us

[vivalabra]

.............but they would taste better!!!

[jameshawkins2]

lol this is awesome... but i wonder hwo many times this video has been rewinded haha

[CapnDingo]

You didn't have to do all this research on the video, this is extremely common for them to do. Lay one of these octopuses on a black and white checkerboard and they'll make their skin do the same, though they won't blend nearly as well with a clean checkerboard pattern. But they'll come admirably close.

[caibarien71]

don't praise GOD for that, praise Darwin !

[bluebeanbaby]

praise neither!

praise the cephalopod!

God can only exist if one believes him/her to, Darwin was not an inventor of animals!

the creature itself is what so fascinating!

[Patrick1Bateman]

exactly

[johnson2324]

Come to Russia, majority of people don't believe in God here.

[lulxors1235]

in soviet russia god belives in you!

[toddyr14]

Ohhhh man thats good

[lulxors1235]

omg i just noticed it myself ^^

[MichaelMorbius4ever]

Beautiful video!

[twiggza]

its real. its awesome. its legend, wait for it.... DARY! Legendary! :-)

[Cruvers87]

R E A L...so real you wish you could do that s**t

[12Filter]

Its definitely not fake. Octopus are masters of camouflage. Chameleons are nothing compared to them.

[reed0n3]

Cool, praise the GOD for this....

[NiNi166]

Is this real?

[comentu]

hmm for those saying its too fats to be real...thers still allot yet to be discovered it can be real...lol if it is pretty fuking amazing.

[ruefullyyours]

Honey, don't try to comment unless you can spell your words correctly. It was an intelligent comment, but your spelling made you look not too bright.

*your comment after spell check*

"Hmm for those saying it's too fast to be real... There's a lot yet to be discovered, it can be real... lol If it is, pretty fucking amazing."

[EntertainmentTV]

hahahah nice.....

[Teohness]

For some of u who think its fake , its not octopuses change colors extremely fast mainly for camo and communication

[Brendalf]

This is totally fake. You just used morphing software to morph between two photos. The plant doesn't move right for real footage. That and it is impossible for an octopus to blend in that well with its environment.

[aaron4820]

"Revealed: Secrets of the Camouflage Masters"

search that on google...there's even a video on that first article where the person who captured that video was very satisfied with the fact that no one believed it was real on youtube :)

[roncove]

ignorant, the octopus change is colour for protection, ignorant again

[Ihateyoutoube]

Moron.

[pickboy75]

if you hate youtube why bother

[MikeOstron]

not fake

[kamikatze07]

why should that be fake?

[MrMuskOx]

fake.

[nicholasowen]

This is actually real footage, it was taken by professor Carl Zimmer, and in a New York Times article they joked about how it had been posted to YouTube and no one believed it was real. Search the article Ney York Times

"Revealed: Secrets of the Camouflage Masters"

[axavier555]

Actually Carl Zimmer is the journalist. Dr Roger Hanlon took the footage.

[jimmyamien]

real! i saw its shape when it was "invisible"

[rockmelon12]

real lah

[spliter88]

Amazing creatures. Those octopuses can change colors with higher speed and precision than any land creature (I'm thinking mainly of chameleons) thanks to their light, and mostly fluid body, but especially thanks to their super refined cells.

[pogo14022002]

Thats fuckin cool

[Elmerfudge641]

it is real my cousin is a marine biologist they have millions of colored pixels or skin cells that can change color within nanoseconds

[VVaRGuEriLLa]

well its fake, look at the original video not slowed down , an you see the octopus swim away and the camera keeps up with it lol in the water...

[pantaloons29]

should of poked it so it move then there would be no question lol

[isewmyeyes]

This footage is from Discovery Channel's Planet Earth documentaries, a series shot entirely in high definition. It is neither fake nor altered.

[frankey24]

its hard to see but there is actually a zebra in this video too, they have the best camouflage in the animal kingdom.

[clownluver]

Just look at the edges around the head, it's fake bro. It get's sea weed edges.

[erasurenow]

its so obviously fake and done with an image morphing software...

[GrimReaper82]

you are so obviously on pot

they can camouflage like nothing else

[cherrypie1994]

what r u smoking octopi can do that

[Artzstuf]

Its so real. Ive seen it at an aquarium lecture. All cephalopods can actually change color and texture.

[AikaGranzchesta]

Sooo... it's fake? Or not? I want it to be real because it's sooooo cool... but...

[z356]

It is real. This is probably the Mimic Octopus from Indonesia. They have extra skin cells that can change color, reflectivity, opacity and even (to some degree) texture.

This is a fucking amazing creature. Thanks heavens we're smarter.

[martinbennett2003]

nice i saw the octopus straight away looking at start

[aznnamboi604]

If you look carefully you'd notice that the part where the octopus showed up from wasnt moving from the ocean waves.

[hazonku]

Octipi are simply amzing creatures. Between their camo, and they're lack of a skeleton and their smarts, they're awesome. Tasty too. I heard some where that they are about as smart as dogs.

[S2p2o5t]

its true.. it was taken bye a marine biolagiste. and sent to discovvery channel.

[Revigoe7]

Oh my god, this and fantastic.

[Lastmonday]

hi there thanks for vids wher can i get the whole hello dawn horizon song?

[globetrotter68]

Hi Lastmonday, thanks for watching! Please check my updated video info. DroneZone is a great station for this kind of music.

[Shewalkslikesumr]

please see The Octopus Document which I can't paste because of its url

[invertMASA]

wow u wasted your time it ture

[guitargodgod]

just it just turn colors, because it seems to me that it turns clear and transparent??

[ModernDayKnight]

yea look at videos of cuttle fish they look different

[hunybee78]

now i dont wanna cuttle withe that fish hahahaha lol! you get it thats not an octopus its a cuttle fish! retards hahahah! thats wut its called!

[Vectrect1]

its an octopus

[jmalcolmg123]

It's true. My professor showed it to us in a class and said it was given to him by the biologist who filmed it.

[mxrider707]

that was awesome

[TheTrepidation]

lol nice find, yes that is true htough, the octopus is known for great camoflauge, and can change colors lighter than it's main dark color
