Did he just make himself Into a human hand? Omg they are miraculous.

Octopus to jack-o'-lantern: if I fits, I sits.

He's copying that hand! He observed it and he imitates it! Amazing!

I knew he was going to go into the pumpkin they’re soo smart he saw the opening 😅🐙”whee I’m hiding “

1:28 is he trying to imitate the hand? Octopuses are so cool!

Michael: If it is long, I will mimic it. If it is round, I will search it for food or look for a shelter...

I loved it when he imitated the hand in such a magnificent way! Wow! Is it me or do the octopussen seem to become more courageous with each experiment? Like they know no harm is going to come to them. In general, I get the impression they seem to prefer smooth surfaces. Michael seemed to want to drag the pumpkin with him in a very determined fashion. Sort like "I haven't figured yet how to get in it but I will and this is mine! Bless him! 💖

Is that the same octopus that mimicked the hammer last time? Well, he is a great artist!

First the hand, which was The BEST and then a jack-o-lantern den! So flippin CUTE! Octopuses gives Snoopy and run for his WWII Jet fighter dog house, any day of the week!

How will I ever go to sleep after watching this? I am utterly spooked out!!! Also, whoever carved this pumkin surely is an artist. And last but not least, Happy Halloween to Michael and all the OctolabTv tricksters❤

The way they figured out how to OPEN the top of the pumpkin to sit was amazing!

What a showman/showoff he is! Ooh, that hand stand! The sinuous turn around the skull! Then the suspense of him sqidging himself into the pumpkin-like a reverse strip tease! I hope it's as much fun for him as it is for us.

Is that the same octopus from the last video with the hammer? Because he looked like he was trying to imitate the shape of the hand. Octopus are such intelligent and curious creatures. Thank You for posting these videos!!

Wanted to turn that pumpkin into a new den😂

The hand shape was totally unexpected 🖐🏻😯amazing! I was a bit worried about the knife🥺 and he just had to climb into the pumpkin 😁🎃🧡

I’m half asleep watching this and I open my eyes for a sec to see the octopus has become a hand shape ahhaha adorable

I loved how he reacted to the pumpkin. It looked like he wanted to take it with him until he found the lid and realized he could go in. That's much more fun than just dragging it along with you.

If you know someone who’s feeling a little bit “down” get them to watch the video! The interaction with the pumpkin is priceless.

I love these videos more and more, I started to watch these quite a while ago because I thought it was a novel idea. But over time I have fallen in love with octopuses and their inquisitive nature! To me it's like watching a cross between a toddler and a dog but under water!. I would love to be able to get close to one, I wouldn't go as far as saying I would want one as a pet as I wouldn't be able to give it the space and decent replica of its natural habitat that I feel it would deserve, but oh boy if I could spend its lifetime with it I would jump at the chance!

Thank You! Didn't know what I was missing. Halloween Octopus! Michael is so talented.

Cool how he tries to imitate a hand.

So clever to copy the hand like that. Amazing creatures 😍

I am so taken by these creatures. I can watch them all day. And believe me I have! Got absolutely nothing done but I can tell you about octopi:-)

Best cthulhu costume ever.

I'd love to see a video with octopus babies.

I can't decide if Michael is imitating the hand or reacting to its feel & thinking "yuck, that feels pretty gross." His reaction to the pumpkin was terrific. I enjoyed the exploration & "hugging" like he was making sure it was sturdy before he got in.

Seductive dance at end to finally open the door to a beloved’s heart. 👻🖤🤍🎃

I love how he seems to reach into the pumpkin to make sure there’s nothing scary inside lol

The Octopus Would Be Like What's A Vampire Squid ?

This octopus is truly amazing!! Such a smart creature. Octolab I absolutely enjoy your channel. Thank you so much for sharing him with the world.

And the whole time, the octopus is thinking, "You humans are weird. But at least this shell-thing is useful."

Another totally delightful octovideo. Could you please do a favor for all your viewers and state the name of the octopus that starring in the video? And whether it is a girl or boy? Thanks so much.

I really like the music in this episode.

The pumpkin is his final ecstasy. Such a good film, guys!

Absolutely mimicked the zombie hand! How cool is that?!?

Oct 'O Lantern🎃 Happy Halloween😍😎

I am so happy you’re telling us which octopus it is! I adore seeing how they progress and such ^.^ and him imitating the hand so quickly into things was amazing!

I think he has been imitating the other objects as well. Sometimes I tell myself just normal movements and now I’m convinced it’s a way of processing what he sees.

He's in love with that pumpkin 😂

That first one making a hand was awesome!!

Jack-o-Lantern easily the coolest object I've seen one of them interact with! :) Super cool!!!! Happy Halloween!

The moment I saw the pumpkin I knew he was gonna like it.

I was waiting for the Halloween theme to start playing when Michael went over to the knife. Lol! 🎃👻☠️

Octopus turns into an upraised hand. Octopus as Alien. Creepy octopus. And at last, an Jack-o-lantern home.

Yes, October again. The month when the humans celebrate me.

I can't stop watching these wonderful creatures... Pls do make more videos I really enjoyed all of your videos and the cute octopuses they're brilliant... I love them ^^

Samhain is approaching. The veil between the material and spirit worlds drops at midnight on Friday. I wonder what sort of reactions a spirit octopus would have to these objects.😉

Another great Halloween video! I loved seeing Michael imitate the hand! Happy Halloween 🎃 🐙

Is it mimicking it at 1:25 ? WOW

They are miraculous creatures but since I’m terrified of even the smallest snake (or worm) this creature is just a bunch of snakes to me. But I love watching them. 😊

octopus with a knife!!! watch out!!!!!

I want an invite to her house warming party! 🥳 🎃 And OMG was she *really* being a hand?! 🐙 🥇

Amazing! SO intelligent creatures!

Adorable!

I love this guy

I love this channel so much! :D

Wow! He made a hand! So smart!

GREAT idea! A visual treat! :)

I see the knife: You fools! Don't teach these creatures about WEAPONS!

Chthulu Jr. really likes the pumpkin!

That was cool!

Amazing. 🥰

If I fits this pumpkin, I sits! 🎃

So funny I love it

Octopus are very smart.

Wow, that was amazing when he copies that human hand. 😯

💖 you Michael! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I know someome who dressed up as an octopus last Halloween (well, she was technically supposed to be Ursula from "The Little Mermaid") He's having a lot of fun with all the different holes in the jack-o-lantern.

And that evening they all enjoyed octapie for dinner😲

How will an octopus react to a picture with eyes that will follow you. Since some wait for people to look away this could be interesting.

WOW!

I think he/she had more fun with the hand. It interacted more with it. Wasnt too crazy about the skulls though. I was surprised it could get into the pumpkin. I figured there was a weight in it .

this pumpkin looks way better with tentacles coming out of it yasssssssssss !!! SO CUTEEEEE !! Is it moisty spongy, dark and cold in there ?

... Ha ! he corrected you !... there SHOULD be a worm crawling out of the eye socket ! 👍😅🤣🤣🤣

Now it's oct-o'lantern.... Gee...

Was he threatened by the hand? That posture was so odd. I mean a hand could be vaguely tentacle-like with it's fingers. Very cool little guy.

How old is your Octopus?

Is he possibly imitating the stem of the pumpkin at the end? I usually don’t see them having part of themselves sticking out of their hideaway. Might he be attempting to make it look like it did before the lid was removed to fool predators?

He looks like he is wrestling the pumpkin

Tender AND horrifying...

Wow

FLY Honey the Ballerina Cockatoo of KZfaq says HAPPY HALLOWEEN to her Octopus friends at your channel!!! 🎃🐙 She enjoyed this! She’s convinced your octopus is dancing! And she always rates the dancing very well. Lol. It’s adorable every time. She thought this was a very good Halloween dance routine!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️ We just released our 1st Vlogoween vids over on our parrot channel, unveiling their pumpkin choices for Halloween2020 & doing something fun Halloween art! So come by & say hi!

So intelligent

6:04 WINK! 😉

We are contortionists…🐙 …we also like to make freaky pumpkins our home! 👍😁

5:35 BIG BRAIN

Loved how he copied the hand !

The PERFECT Octopumpkin costume, for all those virtual Zoom-oween parties that nobeastie can safely go to...how would she keep her mask on her face, though, w/o ears to latch it to??? Never mind...she WILL figure that out, too. & she'll leave it on, because she's WAAAY more intelligent than the average pollute-tician. Maybe she'll hire another octopus to hold it on as she swims...or perhaps a hoo-mon child would do the job for free, just to hang out with this amazing lil' critter. I would, but I'm probably too big for her tank. Get her a bigger TANK!!! So I can move in!!! & my little dog, too!!! (Oh, wait...🤔...do they make scuba-diving equipment for ChihuaRats???😯) 💙😁🐙🐺💚

Seems he wasn't sure if the hand was alive, or not.

Hello Octolab it is my dream to have an octopus can you tell me where you got that specific octopus from.

It did seem that hw was mimicking the shape of the human hand! How much does Michael weigh?? THANKS!!

Put on a scary movie like JAWS or pictures of calamari!

I 🦑am the ✋ I 🦑am the ✋ I 🦑am the ✋

Even if the knife wasn't sharp, it's still _pointy_ enough to hurt him. 🤦 😒

Have you tried to teach an octopus to read? like using big written words maybe food? I'll bet Rudy would learn which label meant his favorite? And I'll bet he will remember it for a long time. Maybe even for all of his, how did one film maker describe it? tragically short life. or the image match that chimps do much better than people.? less physical more mental. Looks like he got the spirit of the Halloween props. He curious but a little subdued and tentative? Except the pumpkin. he likes pumpkins. Ha. How does he react to fire? My favorite reaction was to the set when he first entered. He seemed to be pondering the big orange words. The impression I had was O--"What is the meaning of this.?" Surely he can hear you speak. Could a wild octopus understand that sound is used to communicate? Since any number of sea creatures do this to some extent, don't they? If their hearing is good, they would hear many sounds and would naturally be curious. I've had this conversation with a friend a couple times. Why do I think they can be so perceptive? IBecause a housefly knows when you are looking at it. I'm jealous. And I've seen that the octopus seem to enjoy the company of the people and even show affection.

You should've his a shrimp inside the mask

For Halloween I give out books, not candy. Can anyone recommend books about octopuses aimed at children. I get kids from pre-K to high school.

I would love to see how it reacts to a tablet or cell phone .......

What would an octopus do with a ball of yarn?

How big is Michael?
