We caught this Octopus in a shrimp trap here in Alaska. It had crawled in through a 3 inch opening and terrorized our catch of spot prawns, killing and eating several of them, and then, attached itself to the bait jar and unscrewed the lid to open for dessert of prepared shrimp bait pellets! We decided to let this brilliant creature go (option was to eat it! ...yum!) as I respected it's intelligence and genius. We set it on the deck and let it "escape" on it's own... Cool fun with a sea creature! Camera used: Canon Vixia HF M31 HD....with a WP-V2 Waterproof Case.
More info about "Octopus Escape!" video:
1) Octopus in video is a Pacific Octopus:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Mollusca
Class: Cephalopoda
Superorder: Octopodiformes
Order: Octopoda
2) Plural for octopus is octopuses or octopodes with octopuses being the accepted form in the US and UK. Octopi is generally not accepted as a pluralization, but when it is, it's second to octopuses.
3) Octopuses can survive out of saltwater from 30-60 minutes or so depending on atmospheric conditions. Moist n humid conditions longer and hot n dry sunshine much less! The octopus in this video was out of water for 5 minutes or so in wet conditions so it was in great shape when it returned on it's own to the sea...
4) Octopus have excellent eyesight* and can taste and smell with their tentacles using suction cups equipped with chemoreceptors.
5) Music in video is composed by:Tilman Sillescu, Chris William Woods, and Scott P. Schreer.....titled "Take It Outside"
6) Comments deemed overly offensive with explicit and foul language won't be approved and the user will be unceremoniously blocked!
*Octopus eyes are so advanced that camera manufacturers have used their eyes as a model to improve the camera lens. Until recently, because of the curve of a camera's lens, the picture often blurred at the edges. To correct this, nicer camera models often contained up to eight lenses, which was both bulky and expensive. Yet by copying the structure of an octopus eye, which has several thin layers of multiple densities to bend and focus light, camera manufacturers were able to create a camera lens that can now produce a clear picture -- and the camera is cheaper to produce as well as smaller!

Milak, the two years old polar bear at Aalborg Zoo in Denmark, has developed a new kind of sport - head hunting with a tube! He has found out to place a tube on his head and use it as a kind of hunting tool to catch other objects! Hard to believe your own eyes, but watch this intelligent polar bear in action! Milak is a very ingenious polar bear, who has learned to combine his toys in many interesting ways - all of them centered about his main interest: the hunt.

Long ago in a galaxy far, far away...
We bring you CELLO WARS! A result of 6 months of production...our most ambitious undertaking by far! Why Star Wars Cello? Because of our unending admiration of George Lucas, John Williams, and the most EPIC movies and film score ever created. The idea originated when Tel Stewart was editing THE CELLO SONG here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry4Bzo.... As a joke he decided to add light sabers to Steven Sharp Nelson's bow during the outtakes. Fans cried out for more. Al van der Beek and Steven Sharp Nelson storyboarded the song and the video concept while they were scouting locations for MOONLIGHT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRVvFY.... But it was Steven Sharp Nelson's son Eli (6) that was the true inspiration for the project -- his enthusiasm for Star Wars, light sabers, and watching his daddy wield one while playing cello fueled the project continually.
We announced CELLO WARS on September 19, 2011 thinking we'd be able to deliver on our promise within a few weeks. We had NO IDEA. 70 days later, more than 7,000 frames, 72 audio tracks, 24 hours of filming through the night in front of a green screen, the most props and costumes we've ever used, several broken bows and strings, and over 1,000 hours of editing and rendering -- we felt like we had taken on the entire EMPIRE!
Tel Stewart is THE MAN. He is the reason this worked. He is the man behind the green screen -- behind the editing bay -- behind all the cool effects. He had to edit every single frame in order to make the light sabers work (a total of over 7,000 frames)! We now have a Piano Guys Hall of Fame and he was recently the first inductee.
Original music composed by the AMAZING John Williams
Arrangement written and produced by Al van der Beek & Steven Sharp Nelson

LYRICS:
Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide.
I'll take it by your side.
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide.
I'll take it by your side.
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies.
I'll take it by your side.
Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide.
I'll take it by your side.
Tick - tock x3
Tick - tick - tick - tick - tick - tock
I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,
You're slipping slowly from my reach.
You grow me like an evergreen,
You never see the lonely me at all
I...
Take the plan, spin it sideways.
I...
Fall.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Take the plan, spin it sideways.
Without you, I'm nothing at all.
