OMG those baby cuttlefish with the cutest things I've ever seen ‼️💛😄

Interesting documentary - but the effects - from the strobe lighting/negative film toggling, to totally inappropriate music and bubble captions were a terrible distraction

On the other hand, one of the reasons I watch so many cephalopod videos is that I’m obsessed with ceph communication, and I was happy to see the biologists studying their signals.

Good times! Some of the first ever underwater HD footage. Was great working with you guys and gals! Dr. James

Great video! I am fascinated by cephalopods, so this was time well-spent. Thank you for uploading!

The techno music when they're mating tho lol

there were actually another branch of cephalopods called Nautiloids, which the Nautilus descends from. Also, Ammonites went extinct because of the Cretacious extinction event. they relied on their gas filled shells to keep them closer to the surface, which was ultimately their downfall. Nautiloids didnt stay near the surface but also didnt stay way deep like Coleoids. thats why theres only 2 species of nautilus today :3

They would probably be able to imprint new behaviors if all of them didn’t have to start from square one every life. They have no parents so that they can build upon knowledge along with a sadly short lifespan. Give them parents and a decent lifespan and I think their intelligence would simply blow us away.

That was squid-tastic!!!

How do squid and octopus communicate? Squid: woomy! 🦑 Octopus: veemo! 🐙

Amazing creatures :) I think nowadays we can try AI to analyze and structurize all those patterns and its relations to a different behaviors. Would be interesting.

This is 2ay beyond Fascinating

What a great documentary. I love how the visual effects keep you on your toes! Keep it up :D

Amazing!

All those documentaries on squids & similars have only ONE effect on me! They make me HUNGRY!

*live fast, die young, bad squids do it well*

I love these animals they do awesome

I am so fascinated with them too. Especially octopus but all three of them. I wish I new that when I was younger because I would have gone into research. Instead I’m a nurse and really too old to drive up a college debt to change fields when by the time I got a PhD it would almost be time to retire. So much I wish I new when I was younger but there wasn’t the internet or youtube to bring so many ideas to my head. Technology is so awesome.

😀👍👍🏻the best👍🏻

I'm just now seeing this. This was published my freshman year of high school. I'm now 37.

Super video thanks for sooing us

They probably lost their shell when their environment became less ferocious and voracious which would have allowed them time to better think and communicate just as what the extinction of dinosaurs has done for mammals.

Terence McKenna brought me right here :)

28:29 I found my spirit animal

Almost had a seizure from all those strobe lights! Was the editor trying to use "cool" effects to "make education fun?" ..love the music too especially when it's LOUDER than the dialogue.

This is now 20 years old, in 2021... I’m sure they know a good deal more now, than when this was made.

19:04 The music tho

Totally random comment - when was this documentary made?! The LAPTOPS!! I was to young to know the first generations of laptops, but late 80’s? Very early 90’s?

They’ve been trying to identify their various light patterns and changes to see if they have language capability... Ok finally !!!! Bc Ive ALWAYS though that some of the underwater animals were able to have a developed language , beyond just certain signals and instinctive cues. Whales , being the obvious choice , some Fish exhibit distinctly intricate ability to communicate but so many people have assumed that these invertebrates / cephalopods were incapable of communicating in such a way and so many suggested that they have no brain .. it’s about time people are beginning to look into the diverse wildlife and their ability to communicate and to sense the wide range of emotions we are capable of. Yes ,‘there are creatures that are not as developed neurologically / cognitively BUT just bc something doesn’t have the same relative brain size and the depth of & conscious awareness we exhibit , doesn’t mesn they’re incapable of having well defined languages that are beyond that of survival cues and signaling , but of social communication! We are the only ones to have the level of conscious awareness ,Or forget “ level of “ , we are the most intelligent species in the world..,but scientists have for so long , discredited animals as having feelings/emotions and the ability to perform complex thinking and behavioral practices or actions and they’ve discredited for so long , their ability to exhibits emotions like empathy or compassion or ro selectively modify and adjust their Behavior within social settings etc. I’ve never looked upon an animal and thought to myself hmm,’this sure is an autonomous like empty incapable living being ... it’s evident upon recognizing facial expressions/gestures ,‘posturing and behavior esp. N response to actions warranting any behaviors or responses to stimuli in their environment, especially when we can see upon interacting with some mammals, especially , that they are complex and highly involved in communicating even if they cant speak our language, as they each have developed within their own species , among many species , ways to connect socially and carry out behaviors and actions to indicate that. I feel as though many scientists wanted to distance themselves in a sense , to be able to view them as sub level or without feeling , be it capacity to feel pain or emotions , in order to carry out whether testing extensively done on animals in such brutal substandard ways. They STILL don’t recognize various forms of cognitive understanding and communication that seem quite obviously occurring between certain animal subjects interacting with humans. Just bc they don’t walk up and speak English (Although anyone whose spent time around my cat would almost think to argue that not only does he understand way more than the typically assumed 200-250 vocalizations / inflections or words , given the vocal / neurological physiologically & neurologically& biologically , hed prob. Talk it up 😂. He prob. Has made around 200 variations on certain vocalizations and little Chirps and whatnot 😂. He’s very vocal , which isn’t typical for his breed specifics. He’s highly trained ( by me over the course of 5 years from the time we began working together & at the start of my caring for him when he was wild ) but has very reasonable complex abilities to indicate not only understanding but efforts to contribute to communication also , In a more elaborate way than I am accustomed to seeing exhibited among perhaps 97% of cats & I’ve worked with , trained and handled & studied the behaviors and communication at least at a minimum of 700 or more cats in the last 20 plus years , even longer if I include Prior observation before specifically and extensively working with them & ppl alike , as I consult and work with veterinarians , their staff , pet owners and trainers handlers and other specialists who desire to do as I have been doing for so long. Currently i not only work to study behavior snd communication among both animals & people but also utilize cats in hospital and outpatient settings for patients with terminal illness or specific needs on an as applied for basis & depending on which facilities have decided to carry this method of therapy and service as it extends to both emotional therapy / support and service work , which I’ve been doing alongside professional career essentially for over 20 years . But it astounds me how many ppl to this day , can look at animals And fail to connect the obvious to reality of it and see that yes , even if not as complex , animals can communicate and form structured ,complex social bonds and organized & individualized behaviors & it goes further than simply cues for survival , but also that of choosing a suitable mate , parenting and sharing responsibilities & everyday social interactions etc. I’m glad to see more studies being done. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this group & they’re working diligently & have. Been aobserving & applying what they observe ,giving much attention to intricate or minute detailing. So it’s helpful having a team of fresh minds ,’hungry for the opportunity to not Only identify various signals & features, but to document snd compare as to how they apply anything visibly present or occurring. Not too long ago , they began this project& it will take extensive study & research but they’re on the right track and need to dive a little deeper 😂in terms of being able to make a more definitive study & obtain results but it’s obvious they use light to communicate and some underwater animals produce distinct sounds that while not as big & noticeable as some may wanna see , I’ve felt that I’ve seen enough upon observing various species , to believe that some are capable of even language via complex sounds and gestures , as well as light. That use of light may be the very first language method dating back. Only God truly knows , as everything was created with a purpose & I don’t believe ppl should jump to refer to evolution as quick , when they 1/2 the time can’t ever explain any true evidence or links to support such evolutionary theories. But def a good study to continue. Wish they’d utilize more effort & go shout their research differently in some areas though but maybe they’ll get to that 😂

That brown squid liked that divers mustache apparently.it was the same color

DISCO accompaniment to the mating segment!!!

Wow this is awesome but you should tell us if it’s venomous of poussin or toxic all so what’s it’s balance and how big is it you should check well try to learn about octupus to and make sure that it won’t attack you 👌okay

You forgot nautilus in the cephalopod family

Anyone else notice the guy writing underwater?

I find it interesting that the female goes pale when she wants to get busy. Thru out history & n many different cultures, human women have used pale displays to attract males. White makeup has been used for a very long time n many very different places.

Honestly, I know the same about these creatures as when the video started.

Cephalopod is a Greek word, not Latin. Cephalo, kefalo in Greek means head. Pod, podi, in Greek means foot.

I believe we underestimate animals, it’s not the same as human thought & emotion but animals breed & care for their young so that requires thought & emotions in their environment. See “animals save other animals” it’s truely mind blowing.

Splatoon 2, anyone?

Wow I had a old laptop like the ones in the video

I think many in the comments and the audience in general fail to realize that this documentary is 20+yrs old....he says "floppy disc" and the laptops are chunky....

8 advertisements in 45 minutes- no thanks

Did Master Chief narrate this!??

Joe”they are aliens”Rogan

What would several million years of advancing evolution do to a cephalopod ? Would it be safe to assume if they evolved to the point of convergent evolution with apes ,they would be able to do all sorts of stuff with their brains we can not do ? Project thoughts into other brains? Shape changing and seem to disappear I to their background? Bend light instead of simply changing color? I would love to get cephalopod biologist ,and physicists together to discuss And hopefully answer that an a few other questions .

Solo va de sepias. Ni un calamar, ni mucho menos un pulpo. Solo sepias. Todo sepias.un rollo

Steve Downes?

I looooooooove them! 🦑

So reef squid don’t hunt in groups like Humboldt squids, for example, and the only group activity involves reproduction and defense? I wonder why, then, the need for so many different displays and variations of. I wonder, too, if any of the male displays could be communicating such things as maturation, size to a female so she can choose the fittest.

🤓👍👍👍👍🏻👍🏻

u would think theyd evovled to not dying after mating and giving birth

Are arms on octopus really called tentacles ?? Tentacles are not covered with suckers.

Quiero que el Dr. Jhon Forsythe me fertilize....😋

Anyone else confused by them writing under water?

All good ... nice vid, love the movie, love the scenario but the soundtrack/background music is shit. Too modern for my taste.

No honestly I was told I should get a daytime octopus, the reason I want it this jerk I no. Gets them it is sad. I want a day one to give him a proper home. I just can't handle a big one.any ideas

That pool of cuttles! I would die of cute. I just adore them; it’s an incredible shame they’re dissecting them. That one cuttle was still alive when the bloke cut into him; dead cephalopods’ chromatophores (colour-changing skin cells) turn white.

I want to get a baby octopus for a pet..wich are the best to get a pet

Frequency is part of communication right, or it’s that they change the pigment arrangement on their skin?

Arms! Not tentacles!

That's common sence. They do communicate using there skin, you can watch em do it. It's not advanced cause it's all they got. Communication between species is just basic necessity. Every species communicates with it's own kind. I don't find this so extraordinary. I have a question for the educated? Out of all biological life, why does the human species have the most psychological disorders?

Preaching their religion of the theory of evolution doesn't make it reality.

TOBIAS

All animals have language & they cross-communicate ...literally you don't need to be a psychologist to realize this. this isn't a theory; it is an observable fact. Now let's not pretend it's an astronomical possibility. It's silliness to waste time discussing something that everyone knows. Instead, let's see if we can decipher their language!

I queries why people write under water what are heck whey writing about just unthinkable …

A todos los animalitos les ponen camaras! Ya me veo yo.

🦑

All praise to the Most High YHWH, through His Son Jesus Christ, for His creation that reflects His wisdom, power, creativity and beauty. I don't understand how people can believe that all of this came out of nothing and that it all has magically rearranged and calibrated itself. If you see the complexity of any modern robot it seems impossible that it could happen by chance. Yet the human body is far more complex than any existing robot, not to mention the whole universe.

Are they narcissistic? 😄

7:52 weef squid. 13:15 wesearch center. This guy is unable to pronounce rs!

Octopus como dicen los que tienen los animalitos torturados amenazados y de mas Solitaro? Hasta que los hombres lo capturaron para analizar su peso su suxo y para que sirve!

M

@34:50 - Jesus H Christ!!! They cut up the cuttlefish to find out more about human diseases. Really??? I say cut up a human instead. Erggg that pisses me off!!

why did they put real porn music over the mating/reproductive lesson?

'80 german porn music ???

Great video. Horrible editing.

"Passed away before he proved his theory..." What? So, it was already proven then? A science show that uses the words incorrectly? wow.

Bit pissed off with this "documentary". Lots of misinformation. Eg; scientists do know why cephalopods lost their shells.

Evilution rejects God; therefore, I reject evilution.

Terrible documentary. We learned more about the researchers than the subject. You don't go on a scientific mission to prove a point, but to see where the data takes you. Here is a clue: vertebrates have no skeleton & most prey fish have bones!

Interesting documentary - but the effects - from the strobe lighting/negative film toggling, to totally inappropriate music and bubble captions were a terrible distraction
