I've gained an immense new respect for the octopusses! That's amazing! I know there are animals that can do that,but it was so fast it looked.. Magical.

Evolution is amazing.

[hughes111]

If we stay out of the water, we kinda have the upper hand lol

[499lbs]

@hughes111 I SHIT MYSELF WHEN I READ BOTH UR COMMENTS LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

plus , we have matt damon .. we win

[hughes111]

lmao, Thanks lol

[ImSoBlunted]

no, humans are just relying on technology insted of evolution.

[zegafregaomega]

@ImSoBlunted people can also argue that human tecnology is a a form of evolution, if you want to bend the definition that is.

[DengeMudda]

Technology is evolution... We were made by evolution, now we are making evolution...

Evolution in Evolution... ;)

[ShadowofCatron]

Meh.. I don't know if we could call technology evolution. Since technology is designed, not naturally selected, they are not one in the same. If anything I would call it a quickening of our own evolution.

[WeDieYoung1083]

Technology lets us advance quickly. Can you imagine how our world would be if we didn't have technological advances?

[lulaassassina]

@WeDieYoung1083 It would be beautiful!

[Patriot630]

WOW

[kevin19970806]

[gevans2424]

[soccer5809]

[Alterego912]

Oooooh, Aaaaahh,

[Kuupoju]

The sea is a Spy!

[Addicted2Cod]

[xlegendarymox]

[LordMaazo]

[MRmatthieu49]

[Troutsiders]

Love it!!!

[smokintheblaze]

camoflauge at it's best.

[deacon217]

mean

[thatvietskaterkid]

god is for people who cant live depending on themselves, believers live relying on a superior being to guide their way through life.

[YeahCain2]

[DemonDrug95]

0.41 LOL the tadpole ejaculated!

[DigitalTuesday]

woah, ur really mature...

[bandman719]

ckool

[TheSchoegglnator]

that is ridiculous

[Theunlimitedgeek]

Lion fish aren't very dangerous to humans, usually their sting is referred to "Less that a bee sting" but to some humans and many small animals they can be very dangerous so i wouldent go around one of them even though i have on in my saltwater tank :)

[bartsutton1]

this was a link from metal gear solid camo!?!!?

[Th3BritishGuy]

Weird how no land animals have that level of camoflage

[MostlyWicked]

Not weird, land animals are 2 billion years behind the evolution race.

[allan3141]

MostlyWicked: I question two things about that statement 1. If you think it through they would have had exactly the same time. 2. How on earth can you, by any reckoning, put them a full 2 billion behind.

[MostlyWicked]

They really didn't. If not 2 billion, they had at least a head start of hundreds of millions if not more. Remember that life started in the ocean and it took considerable time for the first complex organisms to crawl out of the sea and adapt to living on land and develop a complex land-based ecology.

[allan3141]

Re: 'They really didn't' They really didn't what? and who are 'They'. Re: 'If not 2 billion' Are you abandoning 2 billion or you keeping it as a reasonable upper limit? Re: 'Life started in the oceans' It is not known how life started so how do you know it did not start in some warm little pond? Re: 'It took considerable time for first complex organism to crawl out of the sea' Weren't insects already there before what you are refering to and are they not complex organisms?

[MostlyWicked]

*"They" refers to the sea life. "Didn't" refers to the fact that they didn't have the same time to evolve.

*I'm not an expert but I do believe 2 billions is probably too high (life exists on Earth for what, 2-3 billion years?)

*Supposedly all current land-based life forms evolved from aquatic animals, according to experts.

*Don't know about insects but even if we assume they were already there, you can't deny that the insect world is as rich as the sea world (much more than large land animals)

[iamwred]

wonderful! id love to have 1!

[sporedude12]

Wow. Just Wow. If i could change color THAT quickly, or mezmerise(misspeled i think) Like that, i would never get killed. they must feel pretty lucky. That was AWESOME!

[IceHammer58]

Why, are you getting killed now? :D

[nilgigz]

beautiful

[xM455xK0NFUZ10Nx]

Thats why creatures of the sea will always be cooler they have way more intersting lives than creatures on land. I think its because its really not that tainted by mankind like the ones on land.

[MostlyWicked]

Nah, you're giving mankind way too much credit.

[Kiracation]

j0rb3n cut the potty mouth!!!!

[AJDawg1999]

THAT IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BillayDude]

wow this is a little scary... but Hugely Neat!

[lizbethk1]

That snake thing fails.. too much body, and all the arms/lega look like a single snake, so it looks like a nest of snakes... and sea snakes don't nest together.

[j0rb3n]

what are u fuckin stupid? jesus titty fuckin christ -.-

[TheLoopsterlou]

^-^

[Totemhorn]

the snake thing fails in regards to HUMAN intellect but as far as the animal kingdom it does the job fine.

[XcaptainXobliviousX]

liz, most of the vids of this thing doing its snake impression have it with its head flat and the tentacles streamlined or hidden. nat geo failed us with their visual, but i must say the octopus is quite accurate, on the whole. ive heard it actually has as many as 13 disguises in its repertoire, besides the usual texture/color change, at which it also excels.

[naxrox]

3:38 Owned

[lhkbom]

Cuttlefish is genius.

[HaloPCTuts]

I think the cuttlefish is the coolest

[Kenjiv1]

Metal Gear

[speedhearts]

all you guys just need to calm down and appreciate gods creation, whether you're a chrisitan, a muslim, or you dont believe in god at all. its amazing how these creatures behave. JUST ENJOY IT !

[marilynrolonrivera]

and the winner is?..............

THE OCTUPUS!

[smrtpig]

Also, I'm calling those micro organisms "snitch algae" from now on.

[crabzdown]

your cool arent you

[lizbethk1]

good name cause theyre all glittery :P

And shrimp eat algae too

[ixat00]

"Snitch algae" wins.

[runupahill1]

By what criteria do we consider ourselves dominant? I hear bacteria laughing at our absurd pretensions.

[DarkCilence]

geil. ;D

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

the cuttlefish is my favourite animal.. its simply incredible.. I also love it because when I take a stroll on the beach I pick up the cuttlefish bone and give it to my budgie to nibble on. :D

[notagingerkid]

lol crab at 3:30 is spounge bobs boss mr. crab. Now even spounge bob is out of the job

[mikilavush]

The marvels of nature speak of God and glorify him, and so do I in this comment.

[Utokakrmak]

shut up tard

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

Glory is a human concept. God cares not for your glorifications of him. If I were you, I would know that everything is to God. You can only "glorify" not by saying it such as "wow! I am humbled", but do so with helping people less fortunate than you.

[mikilavush]

To loldisneyland who answered my comment: Ps. 29:2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to his name. Ps. 96:3 Declare his glory among the nations. Ps. 66:2 Sing to the glory of his name. Ps. 29:9 In his temple everything says,"Glory!" Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest... 2Cor.1:20 ..."Amen", to the glory of God... 1Cor.10:31 ...do all to the glory of God. John 5:23 He who does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent him.

[yngvaibucketrucci]

fuck god. evolution ftw

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

I came to see a video of "underwater creature camouflage", not get ear/eye raped by benny hinn while he indoctrinates me with empty preachings.

Do some reading on who wrote Corinthians and where they came from. Also read about how much the bible has been manipulated to the point of disfigurement. Christians make me sick when they blindly have faith in someones invention, rather than do the hard yards and discover on their own and realise the truth of god.

[mikilavush]

By confronting the Bible with the Bible itself people can understand that God did permit Satan`s secret servants to change a number of verses into insignificant contradictions and add some false writings to God`s word in order to tempt people to either reject the whole Bible as being unreliable or accept the whole Bible as being God`s word. God is the one who puts humans to the test. However, what scholars are saying about the Bible can often be a phenomenon called deceiving..

[hanwenzero]

lol god is trying to test people through bible? LOL dosent god already know who will pass and who will fail? and so believers and readers of the bible are the people god want to test? and all other people or even culture the bible never reached god just trusts? lol so god allowed editors to mess up his words and enjoy who can solve the puzzle LOL is god that bored? and satan's servents r like yea we will serve ur purpose god, they can deceive ppl but can't figure out what people can figure out?

[ixat00]

Yes... tiny insignificant contradictions like the one on the first page, where God creates plants before stars and galaxies (including our Sun, btw).

[mikilavush]

I have the right to comment as I like, and I have no authority from God to preach. I just write what I believe and think on my own. Now, in this world there is a phenomenon called lying, so the problem is what is the truth? I believe that God himself solves that problem to people by giving them some inner initial spiritual experiences of himself and his Son, usually before the age of 30, and then people are to read the Bible, since in the Bible are the eldest writings about Jesus.

[mikilavush]

To loldisneyland who answered my comments: Your answers suggest to me that you might be secret an antichrist who tries on one hand to provoke me to argue with you and on the other hand to bluff away the faith of others, but for the sake of those others I will answer you just one more time in my two comments here below:

[smrtpig]

See, it's stuff like this that is the reason meditation was discovered. Such an imagination. You can imagine elaborate stuff like this, or even crazier stuff that is even more harmful to you in the long run, if you get too caught up in the thinking process, to the point of trying to cover reality with it, instead of observing reality and deducing from your observations.

When your beliefs cease to become a useful tool and you instead become the tool of your own beliefs, there's a problem.

[estlgurl06]

Well, that one octopus sure scared the HELL.out.of.me!

[KudoYoung]

Crab at 3:31 is becoming quite popular! LET US MOURN HIS DEATH

[qxcontinuum]

omg we as humans we are so small and skills free in comparition with all this creatures

[kuroshashu]

Really? We can't go five minutes without doing something unbelievable

You're interfacing with an incredibly intricate combination of various bits of shit pulled out of the ground as an extension of your mind to discuss abstract concepts with other similiarly awesome creatures while augmenting your experiential memory with a collective data pool built from the ground up in less than a generation by animals in their spare time primarily for the hell of it

It wasn't a cuttlefish on the moon..

[cicatriz79]

wow. this is the best and brightest youtube comment ever.

[Glopdemon]

Well said.

[yngvaibucketrucci]

thats a pretty awesome comment, i think its a much better achievement as a species for people to make all the shit we have as opposed to a fish that just happened to evolve in a really cool way

[MassHomicide]

It is amazing to us because we can comprehend what we are doing but these animals are able to do this with only instinct. Our purpose is to harvest the animals' and the human race's abilities to create a better Earth. We are only dominant because we got lucky enough to get what we were given or we would still be running from other larger predators.

[pqwoie07]

what do you mean "skills-free" ? our brains are more than enough to conquer this world (which we already did thousands of years ago ).

[stottie301]

haha can any of these build a house, use a computer, fly a a plane, erm no cause there shit they can change ther colours, well u go ahead and change ur colours am gonna stay right here and be the dominant species on this planet

[NJKing1281]

Retarded beyond believe.

[stottie301]

how is it have u seen the comment i commented on u fucking divvy

[TexTK]

lol Mr. Krabs just saw a buttload of money 3:30
