the blue ringed octopus.beautiful but dangerous creature

[eliYanrees]

wow que bicho mas hermoso que he visto ja que increible la naturaleza

[Ybrain100]

O Polvo de anéis é um polvo do tamanho de uma bola de ping-pong, mas é muito perigoso devido ao seu veneno que é enjetado pelos anéis fosforecentes! Quando alguém chega mais perto para pegá-lo poderá acender seus anéis e liberar um veneno poderoso que pode matar um ser humano em questão de minutos! Não há um antídoto próprio e exclusivo para o veneno e levando o ser humano a morte! (Ô_Ô)

[MadeInOregon27]

Such a cool/deadly amazing creature. Thx for the vid =D I love these!

[vsboy25]

Their venom is 1000 times more powerful then cyanide

[jeweledmama2008]

Based on what I saw here, the person bitten went into convulsions. Were the paramedics able to save him, I sure hope so. I don't think he was looking to get bitten. Ifhe was looking for one, i don't think he was aware of the seriousness of a bite by one of these.

[NOmeansnoFAN]

@jeweledmama2008 complete paralysis is never fun. Apparently, if the victim of this venom is given artificial respiration for 20+ min their body may metabolize the venom.

[schoolgrrl101]

Octopi are such beautiful fascinating creatures.

[furtherbeyond]

Wow! I had no idea an octopus could be venomous.

[Lavos2007]

@furtherbeyond pretty much all Octopus species are venomus, but like most Spiders, the venom of the vast majority of them isnt very effective on humans, however if your a crab or one of their other usual meals, you may aswell be paralyzed and eaten alive

[626Charlie]

it's alright for people to have pets. just as long as the animal is not endangered. it's always been in human's nature to possess something beautiful whether it be an animal or an inanimate objects such as jewelry.

[raafkeja]

these creatures are so beautiful. :)

I love the blue rings. the color is so intensive.

[meglon09]

they're soo nice, wish i can get one in my aquarium :((

[stdavross666]

nasty little buggers...they look brown and pretty much like other octo but turn blue when there pissed.

[EmmaDilemma91]

we have these buggers everywhere here in Australia.

DO NOT TOUCH.

seriously...

[mistermuffin1]

small but deadly any of u guys think this can kill a angler fish

[cristinaexia]

mi espeCie Favorita♥

[charmaine713]

The Blue-Ringed Octopus is another one of the smaller, but more deadly marine animals that inhabit the coastal waters around Australia. The blue-ringed octopus is normally light in color, with dark brown bands over its eight arms and body, with blue circles superimposed on these dark brown bands. When the octopus is disturbed or taken out of the water, the colors darken and the rings turn a brilliant electric-blue color, and it is this color change that gives the animal its name.

[PDub814]

0:37 Thats my kind of pus!!! After that sunken brewski. =D

[MrLemonEater]

so they actually have to bite you to poison you?

or can their skin/tentacles poison someone?

[whitebloss0m]

I think you need to be bitten..but i might be wrong.

[silona]

have to be bitten w beak - I heard they can pierce a wetsuit - so not so safe in this video!

[izizful]

what a beautiful little guy

[Vatebulu]

why most of the most poisonous animals are found in australia?

[wimbletone]

idk but it is belived that the reason to why Australia is home to most venomous creatures is because of its tough, rigid and rough environment. According to evolution, the evolution has tried to coincide with the environment. the rougher the environment, the more reason why a certain species has to develop surviving capabilites like venom for killing preys and eating them..i believe australia has such environment that these creatures need extreme survival tactics and capabilities.

[buddyltd]

Evolution, Schmeivolution. All down to where God put them.

[9mal]

@buddyltd Both science and creationism should embrace one another.

[SpiteGuild]

Has it ever occured to you that perhaps evolution is part of God's creation? I never understood why people think the two are mutually exclusive...

[koyukionna]

Because if you believe in God, you believe he created us in his image, which goes against theories of evolution.

I believe in creation and adaptation, but to believe that species evolve into completely different species is just ridiculous.

[SpiteGuild]

I suppose if you'd like to take all Bible passages literally, this is valid (not that I'm "fluent" with passages). I wouldn't say "if you believe in God, you believe he created us in his image" though. Christians and theists in general have vastly different interpretations of their respective scriptures.

In any case, I don't see how one species evolving into another is ridiculous compared to some theistic views, not that those views are bad or incorrect in any way.

[swtsacrifice]

why are the most poisonous animals so pretty :)

[Qynox]

One reason might be it's an island. Most interesting types of animals are found on islands (Madagaskar, Iceland, for example)

[Plasmamite]

no the blue ringed octopus's venom has a local anapestic in other words u don't feel a thing

[OlderG0ds]

worst part about being bit by one is if nobody knew what happened they would just think you're dead while you're merely paralyzed and can't breathe but still aware of your surroundings..if that happened you'd get the honor of watching yourself be put in a body bag

[watcherthatboxer]

Even if you look like your dead, you have to make sure with a pulse check, I don't think any medic would make the mistake of immediately assuming your dead

[lazzynomad]

thanks for the uplode

[roger88ge]

VERY POISON

[debit256]

protoss animals

[MrUnst0ppable]

what a beautiful creation jehovha has made...=)

[madelinegracesmith]

LOL

[kannibisK]

I'll fuck it.

[bughaters]

i would let it bite my penis

[honker101]

of course you would... creep

[TheMist123]

LOL!

[madelinegracesmith]

HAHAHAHHA I LOVE YOU

[pachsabun]

you´be dead in no time.

[yamahschector]

and they can kill but a local shop said they sale them

[Plasmamite]

and another fact u cannot feel the bite if ur swimming

[dmanroks7]

yes you can,

its like getting pinched.

hard.

actually no,

its being bitten by a bird.

[kilbairn]

Thanks! Great video. Good choice of music (who/what is the music by the way?). I've known about the Blue Ringed Octopus for almost 40 years. First time I've ever seen footage. Really beautiful. I knew they were tiny, too, but seeing them really emphasized just how small.

[Plasmamite]

u kno death can be avoided by giving mouth to mouth resuscitation true fact

[pottsy2k08]

yer but mouth to mouth for like 9 hours i think. lol long time.

[Plasmamite]

nahh not 9 hours bout hour in a half maby

but if someone got bitten just give mouth to mouth untill poison wears off witch will take 1/2 an hour maby an hour but still pritty long

[willowgarrison]

AMAZING!!!

[fishingamna]

I luv octopuses! So pretty!

[chinyiting]

how they inject the venom?

[titoelpimp]

Through their beak, I heard they also can through their skin glands

[Chris9017]

They bite with their tiny parrot like beaks.

[Plasmamite]

by biting they have a beak

[seahorse5050]

beautiful....

[TryToGetMeLost]

My comment is only for those who have stated they have or want one of these amazing little creatures. If you claim you have one, pick it up, wear it as a hat. If you claim you want one, go step infront of a bus. Just because something is fasinating, pretty, or uncommon, does not entitle you to have it. Learn to respect nature, and yourself a bit more. Sad that people feel the need to boost their ego by possessing things that don't belong outside of the natural environment they are found in.

[seahorse5050]

I agree totally,and could not of said it better myself.

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

Well said. They are one of the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen but let them live where they belong- in the ocean.

[LeCutter]

@TryToGetMeLost So, what are you saying? Only James Bond villains are entitled to own them? And as a matter of fact, I think an octopus would make a rather fetching hat!

[Trajiq187]

@TryToGetMeLost Sad that people feel the need to give us their unnecessary opinion on youtube, trying to gives a life lesson to everyone, but hey, thanks for your input.

[Antiks72]

@TryToGetMeLost The entire aquarium trade is that way

[NOmeansnoFAN]

@TryToGetMeLost the desire to contain and own one is a natural response to an amazing beautiful thing like this. Anyone who actually pursued this notion would learn the cost/labour involved to do so. It would take professional skills to keep one of these in a home aquarium. Don't fret over flippant comments.

[liphttam]

@TryToGetMeLost I want a wallaby.

[MadeInOregon27]

@TryToGetMeLost

Very well said.

[scriptslayer]

@TryToGetMeLost Bravo

[madamebiLLy82281]

@TryToGetMeLost How do you think Dogs evolved to be pets? Wild cats in the outback are actually becoming wild again, a house cat has pink paws a tiger or lion have black ones. People who say they want one obviously aren't going to get one, they are god damn cute and if they weren't so dangerous i would try to get one myself. But because people say they want one doesn't mean they actually want one!

[madamebiLLy82281]

@madamebiLLy82281 when i say wild again i mean more like a lion or a tiger!

[tornadoexe]

What song is this?

[markarthu]

Paul Oakenfold, Travelling has a more lively version of the song. Hard to keep around, though, as people like it, otherwise I would play it, name the tune, but at least there's a clue. Good luck.

[markarthu]

Paul Oakenfold's version, "Melodica" can be heard on artistdirect site, from Paul Oakenfold's Album, Travelling. Really a good tune, but not found here on youtube, yet.

[MuhsinTheMomin]

this thing is so so deadly. and it even looks deadly.

[seropserop]

luckyyy whered u get it from? im so down for one

[pantyraider6969]

thing is a fuckin trip why are most beautiful animals always the poisonous :\

[miatageekscott]

my cat is a beautiful gray tiger cat and he is not poisonous, lol

[mcgoo721]

well, they wouldn't survive long if they were. hard to hide with bright colors, this is especially true with slow/clumsy ones. if they weren't packing a punch they'd die pretty fast in the wild...

[2fartyfart]

Awesome im doing that fish for my project at school.

[black2eyesjust4u]

xciting to have one...

[emoborn1994]

its not leathel its not going to attack you it just carrys Tetrodotoxini so you cant eat t whith out been able too cook them for 9 years

[ACE777R6]

Did i just read you right???? NOT LETHAL? lol...my friend the Blue ringed octopus is INCREDIBLY deadly! After you are bitten (which is a painless bite, your skin will just feel like it was scrathced) you literally have 2 minutes before your nervous system starts shutting down, by the third minute your body starts to becomes paralized and have respitory problems! Unless you get instant help, you'll be dead.

[emoborn1994]

yea why would you be daft enuf to swim whirth them ?

[ACE777R6]

lol, well you do just 'go swimming' with them, they are in the water just like sharks are in the water. notvery likely to run into one and they will only attack you when felt highly under threat

[emoborn1994]

it depends where you swim dont be a dumb ass and swim where they r neer DX lolz

[CasperUK31]

Not lethal???? What a stupid comment. And fyi the venom contains tetrodotoxin, 5-hydroxytryptamine, hyaluronidase, tyramine, histamine, tryptamine, octopamine, taurine, acetylcholine, and dopamine.

[emoborn1994]

omg its so fucking hard to get stung by one and if you did the tetrotoxin would kill you but whith all thoes things you would die very fast and your in the sea so how deap you would be you would probaly die anyways.

[CasperUK31]

Are you truly as thick as this? They LIVE IN ROCK POOLS, SHALLOW ROCK POOLS. And the reason its difficult to get STUNG by one is that they BITE. With a razor shark beak, they actively will attack you if you get too close. Please stop commenting on things you obviously know nothing about.

[emoborn1994]

omg idiot i know sombody who bred them and chlorean killed (it)

[CasperUK31]

Chlorene you mean? Get much chlorene in rockpools by you then? Do you take chlorene out with you when you go out? I had a dog and getting hit by a car killed it but it'd still have bitten me if it wanted to. Why am I even bothering. Its true, people are getting more stupid as years go by.

[emoborn1994]

me stupid thats why i have 16 gcses and 6 of them in IT

[CasperUK31]

None in English though it would seem. Good luck in your day to day life, go in peace. I'm done talking to you.

[quirk3]

Lol, that's bullshit. You can't have 6 GCSEs in one subject. I have 13 though, motherfucker.

[Holyordained]

they come from australia mainly, very dangerous see one you get the F away from it.

you have to be realy daft to touch one or go play with it

[3804780]

Lots of viewers want to get one. The best move you can make with a blue ring is LEAVE THE FARKEN THING WHERE IT IS!!

[ProfessionalGlitcher]

Contrary to popular belief, octopuses make great pets, you just gotta make sure your aquarium is completely covered from top to bottom, as they are escape artists. They are extremely intelligent creatures and once they learn to trust you they will entertain you for hours =]

[stogey898]

Used to see them infrequently while diving in Okinawa. Really pretty critters.

Octopus don't make real good aquarium pets. They tend to get out, and don't always get back in... which means you have dried octopus.

[KnewYou2]

I'm trying to find one too. Maybe an exotic pet store dealing with marine life. I just started getting interested.

[JustOner12]

in south australia of australia there is a place on the yorke peninsula called port vincent, on the beach where the rocks are i managed to find 3 in the space of half an hour, absolutely amazing creatures i didnt keep them though

[jackbbruce]

can someone please tell me where i might find one?

[Jhiaxhus]

See those rings? thats octopus for Fuck Off or DIE!

[DxsupermanxD]

LOL !!

[Valter1223]

Truly a majestic looking animal.

[Parabuthus1990]

Hi.

Great video!

I'll get one of these octopuses!

[PrinceofNestaria]

I didn't mind the music so much. A fascinating animal. I would have liked to have heard your description in the video though in place of the music.

[Arkangelpapacin]

I wish you wouldn't have edited out the commentary. That fucking music sucks!
