Why would releasing the video of it tarnish the reputation of the aquarium? Idk about anyone else, but that would get me to visit the aquarium. LOL It's not their fault the octopus was just a bit smarter than them. 😅

Netflix needs to give Forest a show. Help fund his expeditions. I love his content I'm sure it would do well.

Seattle Aquarium- this happened a few years ago. It was widely publicized locally.

He is very sneaky. A creature that’s been studied for years and years still baffles and surprises experts. This I why I love nature!

I love the drawings of the crimes.😂

I wonder how many openers came into the morning shift and complained about the cleaning crew missing the giant wet sloppy trail of water on the floor 🤣

Love the videos getting my daughter into wildlife! And she absolutely loves your ch. ❤

Story time 😍 great video Mr. Forrest

Anyone else glad that octopi live in the water?

Fascinating as ALWAYS! What incredible animals!

Forrest is giving out major Josh Gates vibes with the desk shot!

Much more heartwarming than a sneaky eunice worm hitchhiker

Forrest is awesome

- Not sure how the video would "tarnish" their reputation, but I absolutely *love* && enjoy watching these creatures. So intelligent && absolutely beautiful 😍 ❤

Amazing!

There’s a novel probably on this event entitled “Remarkably Bright Creatures.” It’s a wonderful, very well written and not what I expected. The octopus’ comments about humans are great.

Aww I wanted this video to be longer 😂

I also call my mother inlaw the Kraiken... 😐

I know a similar incident like this happened at Monterey Bay Aquarium in the 90s. But from my understanding, the octopus was smaller and wasn't hunting sharks but other prey.

Wow, that takes planning and forethought. Especially since it waited until after hours and even covered it's tracks by closing the lid of the aquarium.

So cool!

The fact that this octopus is smart enough to figure out he or she had a buffet right in front of them and knew when it was dinner time is one of the most amazingly amusing things I've heard about this species. That aquarium probably could have packaged the security footage as promotional material and sent it to new stations and got a ton of visitors to come see this genius of an animal.

Wonders of Wildlife, which is in my hometown, is an amazing place to visit. My only negative, & I'm a mostly ignorant of their needs/wants, is that the octopus' enclosure at WoW seemed too small, at least when I visited. These creatures are fascinating & so different, & more, than most other creatures including humans.

love this channel

It may have been that the octopus tank wasn't shut properly and tightly due to technical lacks

Love the set

Why does this only have 80k views? This is TV/ Netflix quality stuff.

Did you notice it turned the shark upside down to put it to sleep? It knew that works.

Octopus are such amazing animals. Some people say aliens don't exist, I say there are just look at all the strange things living in the ocean :-)

Bro imagine being a octopus, and you see this big ah fish in the next tank over. So you're like, alright bet.

Wow that's Just Crazy 🫢😉 What A Smarty, 😉 An A Big Appetite 🫢....Great Video 💚🌿😘

Remarkable

Absolutely my fav creature

This is why I adore octopuses! 😊❤

Great video as always, i have been on quite journey on upgrading to be able persue animal sciences. Never had an education outside the arts(long story) and am starting towards my actual passion in preserving the reptiles of the world especially fresh water turtles. I was wondering if you could do more content on these little beauties. Anything really, more on your own pets, more on lesser known turtles if not thats fine as well, i have been following you on your journeys since your first joe rogan podcast and i dont plan on stopping.

Omg so cool, and so smart

Whoever produces Extinct or Alive S3 gets me as a subscriber.

I think it’s so cruel to have such smart animals in captivity

Should have fed the octopus more food

Forest Galante should have way more subscribers than this. The guy is an iconic legend in what he does.

Oh Marcellus you are too much hahaha. (such a good book)

damn that octopus must of been hungry

Oh my gosh ... that's how super smart they are wow ! They need to release the CRACKEN back into the pacific awww

There so amazing

I think the cephalopods are the most op sea creatures if we remove mammels

A apex predator hiding in plain sight.

This was a local aqarium in oregon. I grew up nearby newport or to be exact.

If that is true then that is absolutely superb 😂

Kinda weird having forrest talk about my local aquarium, I mean Springfield mo. Of all places. Lol

Cephalopods are my fav ocean creature

Booyah. Great time for a video from Forrest

I dreamed about the topic of this video last night absolutely fascinating that I get to see it tonight. I remember the story clearly the octopus was sneaking out and eating sharks they are highly intelligent.

These poor little fog sharks just chillin minding their own business....... Here omes the KRAKIN.....Dinner Time.

Lol out smarted by a boneless booger. Love it

Where was this?

Bro i need to see the camera footage That shit would be hilarious

Ok so since you said it was in Alaska, that would mean it would've had to been at the Sealife Aquarium up in Seward. We dont have tons of aquariums in Alaska😂

Octopuses DREAM. Wonderful magnificent intelligent creatures.

Easy way to check if it was the octopus would be to just install a camera. Put a new shark in the tank and wait

The only odd bit to the story but still fine by me is the octopus returning to its own tank.

Octopus gave eyes tht look like they have intelligence

He's bored, it's late, and hey.. there are snacks.. I mean... Seems like the octopus' version of a trip to the kitchen to grab something to munch on to me... !? Why the sharks? Because he knows he's big enough to eat them (before they can eat him).. Also.. who knows.. maybe sharks are tasty? If not to us than at least to an octopus.. 🦈 🦈 🐙

0:32 when you look into octopi eyes you can tell they are our future masters. They even look like galaxies so definitely come from the great void

Ive heard this story before

I understand its a Giant specific Octopus but like what kind though?

I almost typed out my story for why I'm petrified of Octopuses then remembered noone gives a shit so I'm just here for the comments

It's funny because at this aquarium they openly tell you about the story and are eager to discuss it with you if you show interest. But i'm sure the crazy PETA types would find a way to get offended by the video especially without the professionals right there to discuss it.

A ray got pregnant by a shark in a aquarium I heard

@ForrestGalante can you do an investigation on the squid rumoured to be pregnant to a shark? There's a link on abc7

That tank is fkn tiny.

I love Octopus.

This is an amazing animal, lets keep it in this tiny ass tank

I have seen large octopus before in Malaysia but only heard of them decapitate red king crabs before, never sharks

I saw u on NBC news brotha is the shark the father of the stingray babies 😮

if they can eat a shark they can most certainly decide we are food and come after us. Make sea monster stories more historical accounts after seeing this. we know that these stories of legend that never seem to go away are based in history and with how giant the world was for early human populations I can only imagine the giant specimens of every animal our ancient warriors had to face and fight for survival. But also these giants were amazing resources as well needing only one to last or be shared for resources versus many making population growth possible.

Giant octopi eat anything they can catch. Nothing surprising about this situation. They are opportunistic eaters 😅

I call BS. I bet the Aquarium was losing sharks to bad water quality and had to blame something to save face. No video means it didn't happen. Or they initiated an insurance claim and don't want too many people nit-picking the video.

They get so big that they take over ships just ask Jack Sparrow 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😁😁🤣

Nice mullet

Let that Octo bro out of that prison cell. He deserves better

Why not stop the aquariums and let them go.

Octopi are escape artists. And this one was so intelligent s/he swam back to his/her own tank and closed the lid…talk about premeditated planing of a murder, lol!

Sea Cats! ≽ܫ≼

Tarnish lol they would have made millions from releasing that in various ways

I think it's awful to see those animals being locked up in a small prison box. They belong in the vast ocean.

They drown the sharks! They are so dang smart!😂

I dont believe storys like this.. like 'yeah yeah we got this video of the occ killing/eating the shark, but you just have to believe that it excist" 🤦‍♂️👎💩

😍

4:54 found Vito's bf. Iykyk.

Why? to show everybody who's the new kid in the block, got it? .

@StephenHowson Please show this vidoe to Ash!! 🤣😂😂

You

They will take over the world one day. Mwahhaahaha 😂😂 love them ❤ 🐙

SHARK BURGERS FOR LUNCH!!!

bet it wanted the liver

Poor octopus release it or give it a lot bigger tank would you like to be in a small tank hell no you wouldn't so not right facts

wtffff

Can i be pinned?

What rubbish

1. This would be a very rare case 2. If it was true doesn't not releasing the footage even though the fact is known tarnish their reputation even MORE? Unless it's... FAKE 3. The original hypothesis on how they could be disappearing lacked the consideration of disease or anything like that, along with calling the octopus that just "killed" the poor sharks that people also worked hard to raise and probably bonded with "truly amazing" are signs that this is a sloppily put together hoax. 4. Rewatch the video and count how many times they use "big words" and repeat words to elongate their sentences to make it sound sophisticated and sciencey. His supposed "amazedness" is pretty deadpan sounding as well. Also, an old friend will also be more likely to help him with the hoax. "In this instance, in the instance (overusing the same word) of the missing sharks, in that aquarium up in Alaska or wherever it happened to be (implying that HE, AND HIS AQUARIUM WORKER FRIEND, DOES NOT KNOW WHERE THIS EVEN HAPPENED), it's pretty safe to say, that it is undeniably (I thought you said "PRETTY") safe the octopus that was causing this unusual (trying to sound sophisticated) phenomenon of (saying missing sharks again) missing sharks. In this case, I think the mystery has been solved (after already saying it was undeniably the octopus, probably trying to make people forget about ALL telltale signs that this is fake) Generally this video has more red flags of a hoax, than an octopus has arms. I bet most of this channel's videos are scripted by AI, I wouldn't be surprised if the AI knew what he was doing and decided to mess him up. Don't support this cash cow of a channel.
