Bioluminescent deep sea creatures, shape-changing Cephalopods, and a really great presenter.

Holy crap, the octopus at 4:25 - 5:15 is AWESOME.

Bioluminescent creatures are really quite stunning.

And I love Cephalopods ♥

I am just nuts to learn more about them, especially when it comes to behavior and interaction. I think we're barely brushed on what kind of intelligence they possess.

Also, I'd pay good money to see what an octopus, squid or cuttlefish does when you put them up against a plaid background.

Oh, same here. They never cease to amaze me. Like this.

That would be interesting so see.

Hmmm, "Ya gonna eat that?"

I wonder if that's the same animal...

Apparently the Aquarium kept finding puddles of water on the floor and fish were missing. Thinking one of the employees was doing it, Someone set up a camera and found the octopus was getting out of it's tank, crossing the hallway, climbing up the neighboring tank, having a snack, and returning home.

Utterly amazing. The octopus at the ending was unearthly.
