it’s crazy that a sack of fluid and matter is able to squeeze through a finger sized hole while also being smart enough to problem solve and remember people. what an incredible animal

[hobbitsinacoat]

It’s crazy to think that mark was kept as a pet by an octopus for a couple months

[mlembrant]

this octopus will meet another octopus in the ocean and will go like "dude, you wouldn't believe the s*** i've been thru.."

[ucojojl]

I'm a Japanese high school student. This video was very interesting and the explanations were logical and easy to understand. Thank you for the exciting time you gave me. I hope the octopus is happy.

While it's sad the octopus has such a short life span, I read in a book it's theorized the octopus experiences time differently than us due to the sheer amount of information they're processing basically all the time. I'd like to think in those really brief moments where they swim up and touch humans, it's like they're having days long conversations just from simple touch and taste and smell. And idk. Thinking about this just makes me reflect on how we can stretch out our perception of time just by noticing and appreciating all the things around us similar to the octopus.

Mark is really putting every species to the test.

It’s incredible how intuitively intelligent they are in such a short lifespan

Octopus taking notes while mark is explaining to us how each puzzle is solved.

I am Japanese.
I watched your video for the first time.
Honestly, I was moved by your video.
Not only was it entertaining to watch the intelligence and dexterity of octopuses, but the ecology and evolutionary mechanisms of octopuses were explained in a very easy-to-understand manner, and the composition of the video was reminiscent of a TV documentary to keep you entertained.
Also, personally, I'm very happy to see Japanese translations.
This sentence was written using Google Translate, so I'm not sure if it's conveyed accurately, but I'd like to continue watching your wonderful videos.
Thank you for a very enjoyable time!

As an animator once tasked with animating an octopus, I could tell their arms had independent intelligence. It’s the most difficult thing to animate bar none. Almost impossible to do it all 100% correct without cheats.

I really think Mark should make Sashimi the mascot for Crunch Labs, even if she's been released, I think she represents everything that Crunch wants to represent, clever thinking, playfulness, a bit of sass, and ingenuity! An octopus is the perfect creature for something like this, and she's adorable and deserves to be remembered fondly for years to come!

It’s crazy how smart and talented Octopuses actually are. They’re such fascinating creatures.

[DiazKnutz]

If their lifespan wasn't so short, I swear they could take over

[cowl]

Honestly, her ability to think outside the box is commendable. Why take the chosen path when there's always another option

[Mr.Pancake-]

Octopuses are absolutely insane. I swear if they lived longer they could probably get better at math than me.

[ChooseCompassion]

They are one of the world’s most extraordinary creatures. The more I studied them the more I am blown away.
As a kid they would freak me out but now I’m nothing but fascinated and can’t learn enough about them.
Although what you did was wonderful I wish people wouldn’t keep these exceptional creatures as pets or consume them.

2 Mark uploads in a week.. It's a christmas miracle!

[SaturnineSkies]

Hey Mark, if you want to complete the “Land, Sea, and Air” Trifecta, you should do Ravens/Crows next. I’m sure you know, but they’re also incredibly intelligent.

Scientists: How could these octopuses be able to get through all our complex traps?
Mark: No idea :|

I went to an Aquarium in Canada on my senior trip and there we met an octopus named Octavius who loved legos and would smash speakers unless they played classical music. He loved posing for photos and was super sweet. They are truly one of the most fascinating creatures.
