Octopus mimics a flat fish

Flat fish : Am I a joke to you

Female octopus when they lay eggs: ight imma head out

[martinfluetsch]

What I like most about them, is the fact, that they can change their color to the environment. It makes them kind of invisible.

She said they like to play and that is a sign of intelligence—— hello Harvard here I come

[yudy]

at last a video long enough to provide more dense information, and in an entertaining way. nice

They are so beautiful and intelligent! It hurts that people hunt and eat them. At my local aquarium, I actually befriended two of them. Whenever I visited, the octopus would always come right up to the glass and watch me curiously. Nobody else but me. When it died a few months later and a new octopus was brought in, the same thing happened. It came up to me and watched me every time I visited. They both recognized me

Me: Time for sleep

Brain: Ah yes this video will be interesting

[janellehoney-badger]

That was incredible! I had no idea their ink was dangerous to other marine animals, including themselves. Such interesting creatures, pity they end up on the menu in some or most, countries, an animal with such intelligence & short lifespan shouldn't be a meal.

[RenYi_Abarai]

They are cute in their own way, I like how each of their species has an individual personality and behavior and it's cool the way they hide and shape them selfs and more cool that they are pretty smart and the fact they can play is surprising for me

[JustBlixen]

How do you make an octopus laugh? :D
With ten tickles ;-)

I’m here all week, folks :P

[josemoreno]

I simply ❤ octopuses, definitely one of my favorite species; fascinating creatures.

[meccaollielord]

I like to think of the mimic octopus doing impressions of all the other sea creatures and making them laugh

[drd]

Thank you nat geo ima use this for my project

[youknowthemroundcirclethin]

Of course he's only a little octopus 🐙 but I was really surprised by his strength!

[Blaze-kots]

Such an amazing creature, just unfortunate they don’t live that long

[hunterrogersmusic]

I find it sad how a creature blessed with intelligence only lives a very short life.

[Miumiu]

Playing is a sign of intelligence. See mom? I'm a genius!
