This is one of the biggest treasures one could find in diving. I'm jelly. For those that don't know. This octopus could turn this dive into a nightmare if you didn't respect it. Even small octopuses can wreak havoc on a diver by pulling at their gear. Sucking to their face. All sorts of crazy stuff. This was a dream encounter and both animals seemed to offer mutual respect.

"Almost feels like every sucker has it's own brain". It's true, octopus' suckers are highly sensitive, they have nerves capable of some low level processing which communicates with a 'senior' nerve of sorts in the arm. Each of their arms is both capable of communicating with one another as well as acting pretty much independently from one another. They're truly amazing creatures

@scottrackley4457 19 күн бұрын

Each of their arms has a separate nerve cluster for only dealing with that arm, and communicates to the other arms and the brain. They don't have individual "brains" for each arm, not as such as we would call it a brain, but they are somewhat independent in that those nerve clusters control just that arm. Fascinating creatures, if we go extinct, I think either dolphins or octopi will be the next sapient creature, if they're not already.

I identify with this. I have Japanese ancestry, so eating octupi was part of my culture. But then I started keeping kosher (just a lot of Bible reading brought me to it). One of the really lovely side effects of this diet was I started to get to feel a lot better about intelligent creatures like this, with no more guilt. MANY of the creatures forbidden in the kosher rules--the original ones in the Torah, not the Talmud--are intelligent. Whales, pigs, octupi--we as humans kind of arbitrarily decide who we think will be intelligent (hence why octupi are tortured alive, but that's not generally considered okay for other animals). But maybe only God actually knows what animal will suffer most, or who's most intelligent. Anyway, whatever the actual reason for the no-octupi rule, I'm really grateful that I don't have to feel like I HAVE to eat them anymore to stand up for my culture. I can have my ancestry and still keep octupi alive.

It's like encountering a space alien and getting to know each other. There is a woman diver who has a seal friend, and they get together every time she dives. Maybe next time you can bring your octopus a treat in a jar and watch him open it. They are very intelligent and clever. Thank you for sharing this with us. I just love it. 😊❤😊

I swam with a Pacific Octopus in Hawaii where I wasn’t wearing a dry-suit. Having eight arms and thousands of suckers grab you by the head, mask, torso and legs all at once is wildly disorienting! It’s like nothing else I’ve ever experienced! Like he said it’s like meeting an alien. Once you get past the fear and apprehension it’s like mind-melding. They are obviously very intelligent and very curious. It’s ranks as one of the best experiences of my life. I highly recommend
