[Flap999]

I may never go into the ocean again.

[Morpheel4ever]

The females are typically over 100 times the size of males, roughly 2 meters in length.

[buckamoona]

octopus are fucking smart, like the asians of the oceans

[aznelemants]

these things are so badass, they rip off the poisonous stingers of the Man O' War jellyfish and use them as flails and maces.

Seriously, that's not a joke. Look it up

[Thunderpants121]

The Japanese are probably not so hungry anymore.

[Silverfire05]

BATMAAAN!

[pikamario99]

The only thing that would make that cooler is if the annoying singing at the beginning were removed.

[StackCityEntOfficial]

[barramundo]

The genus is TREMOCTOPUS :oD

[BabyBlueRoom]

its called a blanket octopus

[rochelimit55555]

what's the name of the species? is it mimicking a ray?

[carbonatedturd]

Obviously photoshopped!

What?! Somebody had to say it!

[SyaoranX]

since its a video, wouldn't the correct term be "final cut'd" or "premiere'd?"

[GreatRussianHellfire]

[carbonatedturd]

llamasinmybackyard

[tristanbrink]

It would make a great sex toy though.

btw, jesus doesn't lov eyou.

[slugmomighty]

The female and male actually differ immensely in size. Apparently, the male mating with the female is proportional to a sparrow trying to mate with a 747.

[Damongrl15]

IT HAS A CAAAPPPEEE.

That is intense.

[popkarma]

beautiful

[Cradily8000]

Wow!!!It's the Blanket Octopus!!!That's so coolXDXD.This special creatures has jellyfihs tencles(meaning that some of the end of the tentacles has stingers).A female are normaly purple-violet above and cream-white below colour and a total lengh of 1m,meanwhile males are 1.5m.Cephalopods rules!!!

[torgosassistant]

An unusual defense mechanism in the species has evolved: blanket octopuses are immune to the poisonous Portuguese man o' war, whose tentacles the female rips off and uses later for defensive purposes.

[BrutusOctopus]

Why would you go and copy the wikipedia article?

[Kevo216666]

You're right! He has! And on the entries below. What an idiot.

[torgosassistant]

The male's small size in fact allows him to reach sexual maturity faster, raising the chances that when a female stumbles upon him, he is ready to copulate.

[torgosassistant]

The male can afford to be small, since his chance of mating with a female and passing on genes does not depend on size, though the female's size is necessary to pass on as many healthy offspring as possible.

[torgosassistant]

These species have an extreme degree of sexual dimorphism. According to the Melbourne Museum, "there's no other non-microscopic critter that has such a significant size difference between the male and female." Measuring only 2.4 cm long, the male blanket octopus is incongruously smaller than the female who can grow to over 2 m. This means that the female can be 100 times larger than her mate, and up to 40,000 times heavier.

[torgosassistant]

The blanket octopuses, four species of octopus in the Tremoctopus genus, are found in the waters of Australia's Northern Coast.

The male blanket octopus spends his existence drifting along waiting to meet with a female. If the male meets a female, he fills one of his tentacles with sperm and tears it from his body. He gives this sperm-filled tentacle to the female which she then uses to fertilize her eggs. Afterwards, the female leaves the male who floats away and dies.

[Charles2337]

That was sweet.

[BalanceKeeperInSpace]
