"Even a chimpanzee hasn't solved this test." I'm not surprised a chimp couldn't fit inside that flask.

The octopus probably thinks we’re a bunch of idiots who can’t open a jar

"The octopus has been studying us" *cuts to an octopus holding a pen and clipboard with glasses

Imagine the horror of that crab going through

Nobody comments on their ability to breathe as well on land as in the sea. Such amazing creatures.

You know that crab is panicking big time when the octo wrapped around that jar

Guy came into my pet store, trying to scam me out of my stock of goldfish. Turns out it was 60 octopi in a trench coat.

It is intelligent enough for me not to eat them.

I feel bad for the crab. You could see it was scared at the very end.

I believe an octopus is the closest thing to an extraterrestrial we will ever meet

“Even chimpanzees were unable to solve this problem” I’m not surprised, how could a chimp fit its body into that flask whilst underwater? Lol wtf

The amazement of watching the octopus solving his problem is dulled by, the agony of watching a trapped crab, watching and waiting for his demise.

Anyone else feel kinda bad for the crab? Like it can see it's predator outside the glass just trying it's hardest to get in and murder it. lol

What is more interesting about their intelligence which no one talks about is their ability to have perception of their surrounding environment and has cognitive reasoning into changing into various colors and textures to either blend in to the surrounds to hunt or escape. That is a cognitive decision based on its own perception of the current situation it is in at one time. Meaning apart from wanting sustenance like any living organism its makes choices based on outcomes rather than instinct

never eating octopus again.

"Even chimpanzee's were unable to solve this problem" Wow wtf the chimpanzee's didn't squeeze themselves into the flask? What a surprise!

I developed a fascination to these wonderful creatures I never knew they were such interesting animals until a year or so ago I wouldn't mind having one as a pet but they don't live long and I think for such an intelligent creature it needs to be in it's natural environment

Ok....how pliable is their brain? I swear if I had to smush my head through that space I'd be a lot less intelligent 😂

Processing all that sensory information through their arms must have done wonders in growing their intelligence and cognition.

Squidward getting his revenge from Mr Krabs

They’re such amazing animals. Probably my favorite sea creature.

I noticed that noone mentioned what that crab in that jar was thinking!!

I am amazed that the Octopus knew it was a Right hand thread & not a Left hand thread, otherwise he would never have got it open, just tighter!

Just incredible how intelligent they really are.

I wish the people i work with were as smart as octopuses

I was on a jet flying to Italy and by accident I pushed open the flight cabin door. There inside was an octopus flying the thing. True story.

I guarantee you there are a TON of screwtop jars in nature hahaha

quickly becoming one of my fav creatures. they're actually so cute.

An octopus helped tutor me to pass differential equations in college

poor bloody crab, must have been horrifying

I don't think the small opening is a new problem solved. I figure it hunts animals that are used to hide out in small areas, where 'normal' larger predators can't reach. The novel thing here is that the animal couldn't have gotten there without help, but the problem in itself is nothing new for the octopus.

Why don’t the crabs pinch the octopus? Was on the beach the other day and got pinched pretty good by a crab it drew blood 🦀

Such intelligent Octopuses must feel so helpless on dining tables. 😢

,i can't believe people eat that wonderful creation

The interesting part of sensors is that you can visualize by touching so it means you can see by touuching

It may not be a flask, but im pretty sure in nature there are times when the prey can't or won't come out from between rocks or debris, so the octopus has to go in.

i wish they didn’t put stupid horror movie music over this amazing animal’s achievement

They don't live that long. Hope they run their tests quickly and free those guys.

AI+ octopuses in aquariums= Checkmate humans

The octopus stayed in the sardine trap because it may have figured sardines were drawn to it and didn't register that humans put it there. It was waiting for more

Octopuses are super intelligent. They have eight brains & three hearts, know how to build houses and shelters, can communicate with humans, and change shape & color to disguise themselves from predators. If the earth was fully covered with water and apes didn't evolve years ago, i think octopuses would.

Poor crab, like a goat staked out to catch a dragon or a tyrannosaurus.

Netflix has (had) a great movie on a friendship between a diver and an octopus.

Many years ago, when I was a college student, I had a pet octopus that helped me with my Calculus assignments. 😎👍

Problem solving, intuitive, task oriented.. just extraordinary.

Octopus is the closest I've considered alien visitors.

man, i just felt bad for the crab while watching this entire video lmao

They are super intelligent, they watch, wait and think before they act...we could learn lots from them

That crab in the jar was probably thinking: "I sure hope that's a stupid octopus, and not a smart one, like the one that got Larry yesterday." Crabs have feelings too, you know. The crab's family is probably still waiting at home for Daddy to come through the front door with some tasty seaweed, and a bug, for dessert. Sorry kids, but Pop was part of a cruel experiment, so no dinner tonight.

The kind of intelligent beings that might live on another planet as we humans do here on Earth.

In an experiment, an octopus couldn't reach in and pull a crab out, so it climbed in, ate the crab and then climbed out. They say this shows intelligence, which clearly octopus have much of, but did the octopus factor in that it would be larger after eating the crab which could mean it might get itself stuck inside? I mean let's be real here, if a cat has 9 lives then an octopus has more. It's body is kinda fool-proof and allows for it to make mistakes. Imagine if it killed the crab and then pushed it out first before exiting to ensure it was small enough to get out. That would be some high intelligence right there.

Rest in peace, Mr. Crab... It's a cruel world.

It should be illegal to kill octopi, especially also since there's no easy way to do it, so they're basically always dismembered alive.

In the 1970s I was watching Jacques Cousteau. They were estimating that an octopus has the intelligence equal to that of a dog. The comment was made in amazement. I guess that even at that, they underestimated the octopus 's intelligence.

03:43 R.I.P. Mr. Krabs...

That was a really cool video and very smart animals indeed and I couldn't get over how he clicked when he solved problem number two ,can't be taught coz it's already there ❤

Poepinyo the Octopus: Crab in the Jar: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Such an amazing creature, im always fascinated at any footage that involves an octopus

Every video about octopus intelligence. Opens jar. Tadaa.

This absolutely proves that an octopus is smarter than a politician🐙😂 Great video👍👍👍

i say u should build an elevator with a joy stick to see if they can figure out the elevator for food. then make a car with joy stick and let them drive on the floor.

These are beautiful creatures and this video is very interesting. Proves their intelligence. I'd love to see one in the ocean.

They are just fascinating!!! Thank you for the video!!!

As a lamprey, I can tell you that while octopi are good with getting lids off jars - most of them are bad with money. One owes me 85 USD.

Cool to see the octo just break the flask

I think an octopus tentacle is more sensitive and agile than a human hand.

It is a fascinating look at one of the most mysterious and fascinating creatures on Earth. 😍

Didn't one correctly predict the outcome of several world cups ?

What was he doing with that pen and the book at the start 😂

Such amazing creatures

Unscrewing a jar lid is a trick I've seen octopuses successfully accomplish many times. I'm puzzled why these scientists are so engaged.

Love your sensibility

They also hv personalities.

Yeah def not first time the octopus opened the jar.

I'm looking at this perfect 🐙 @ 6:31 and his 👀 are saying, really this is child's play... C'mon you can do better!! 😂

Can you imagine the panic of that crab?

No crabs were harmed in the making of this film.* * Apart from the ones that were eaten by an octopus.

Never tire of watching Octopi solve a problem

Clever enough to play a clarinet.

Uniquely awesome , my fav... 🐙

I hope they put the octopus back in its environment and didn't leave it a prisoner in that tiny tank.

I still can't get the cookies out of my aunties cookie jar, without tipping it upside down of course.🤔

3:02 The Facehugger, scientifically referred to as Manumala noxhydria and labeled as "Stage 1" Xenomorph by Weyland-Yutani researchers (or "Stage 2" by other sources), is a parasitic form of the Xenomorph XX121 species. It emerges from an Ovomorph and represents the second phase in the Xenomorph's lifecycle. Its sole purpose is to implant a Chestburster within a living host organism through their mouth. Lacking offensive capabilities, except for the ability to expel acid primarily for accessing hosts rather than for attack, Facehuggers rely on stealth, surprise, or the immobilization of their victims by another assailant to accomplish implantation. Interestingly, a Facehugger perishes shortly after fulfilling its task.

i wouldnt want to be in that crab's place. poor crab the question is how the scientists managed to put two crabs through such narrow flask :O

Crab: “Don’t twist the lid…Just don’t twi….Oh shit, he twisted it…😮Noooooooo!”

Crab: _"Goddamn you, science! Goddamn yoouu!!"_

I wonder if humans are even qualified to judge the intelligence of the octopus. Do we truly understand them enough?

The 'jar' phenomenon was known about 40 years ago. I am surprised that nothing new has been discovered.

Dine and dash. fond memories. Octopus are amazingly intelligent 🐙

Octopus: so we are stuck here together crabo

While we have been studying the octopus, the octopus has been studying us 💀💀💀

Theyre so intelligent that they're kinder to crabs before consuming them then we are

7:40 “hello, 911? I gotta report a double crab-i-cide in an Erlenmeyer flask!!

Bruh it's like Finding Dory all over again with the octopus crawling from one tank to another😂

That doesn't seem like a very demanding test. Octopus fit through tiny openings all their lives. If they do it to catch a crab who cares. Of course every other octopus will do the same thing. Octopus impress me but that test was weak

I actually wonder how long it would take me to open a screw top if I'd never seen one before.

Absolutely amazing!

what are the bags with the different coloured liquids? thnk you

"Honey, can you open this jar for me?" "Do I LOOK like an octopus?"

* Humans aren't intelligent enough to measure the intelligence of the octopus.
