Octopus Reacts to Kitchenware - Episode 17
In today's episode of octopus reacts, Willie is taken to a place no octopus should ever visit under any other circumstance. A kitchen!
The octopus in this video is Willie. He's a very curious and adventurous little octopus that leaves no stone unturned. One of his arms was completely severed off when he arrived. The regeneration stage we see here is nearing 1 month in. It takes them about 3-4 months to fully grow back an arm and enjoy full functionality.

We do this by providing Dennis, our octopus, with a fun little exercise. We show our octopus a delicious snack, and then hide it under one of the three cups. If he's still interested in locating the snack once it's hidden, it’s a good sign t...

A water pump has many uses. But did you know that it can also be used to help octopuses shed the skin on their suckers? Neither did we!

It always amazes us when we see animals using tools. This is a sign of intelligence that cannot be ignored! Our octopus was fascinated by the flashlight the moment we shut off the lights and placed it in the tank. He spent a little time exploring the flashlight and its beam of light, and then he did his best to light up his den by pointing the flashlight right at it with pinpoint precision.

Octopus Reacts to Wig - Episode 14
Переглядів 14 тис.3 роки тому
Many of you requested a reaction video with a wig in the comments section of previous episodes. This seemed like a great idea so we took a bright pink wig, rinsed it thoroughly, put it on a mannequin head, and lowered it into the observation tank with our octopus. We expected him to carefully explore the wig. Some of us even went as far as predicting that our octopus would pull the wig off of t...

    They are amazing. He used a process to explore his surroundings. Most likely compared them to the previous information then set about using that information to escape. There’s a lot of people that can’t do that.

    I think what the octopus learned after many iterations, is that he cannot catch the crabs. Maybe he reasoned that if I go after one, the glass barrier will not be there and I can succeed.

    For a moment there I thought they were going to try climbing out of the tank to get closer. It must be frustrating to have a wall between them when octopi take in so much information from touch. Wanting to investigate but being restricted to sight only would be annoying.

    I wonder if the octopus was taking note of the human's interactions with the cat at all during this.

  • @KeKe-bv8qv
    @KeKe-bv8qv Місяць тому

    Well if they're in the mood to mate and you stick them within range of the opposite sex then this is pretty expected, tho same-sex relations between octopi have been recorded. So I feel like this experiment should be repeated 3 or more times with two aggressive females, two aggressive males and a different pair of aggressive male and female. Possibly Manny with a different female and Lily with a different male. Maybe at the end of many experiments, you'll have a map of social interactions between your octopi.
