  • 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.

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

  • @FredMayX2 Nope, it's a cephlapod, SHITHEAD

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

  • yeah its called camouflaging dumnut

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

  • @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!

  • @height198cm hehe u r right :)

  • @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
