Bloody Hedgehog posted:Actually, a giant pacific octopus will gently caress your poo poo up. While slow to anger, if they do come after you they can easily drown you. Their intelligence really shows in that the few times they've attacked divers, they frequently try and pull the divers regulator out of their mouth. The big ones too will frequently attack and eat sharks. At the Seattle aquarium a couple years ago, fish started disappearing in their large tank. They figured it was the sharks doing it and set up a camera to record and double check. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFOEZh1Lbbg It was not.

It's so perfect in both the detail and the transition speed. Incredibly creepy and beautiful at the same time.

There's that one amazing video of a small octopus hidden in some fan coral or something, and you literally can not see it whatsoever until it suddenly changes color and jets away. Even after you watch it, you can replay it and you still can't pick out exactly where it is, it's camouflaged so perfectly.

I just noticed that when I posted this particular clip, but the octo footage in question has been around for quite a while now. I know I've seen it at least 5 years ago. Cool though that one of the TED speakers picked up on this amazing piece of footage and did a talk about their camouflage capabilities.

The best/most terrifying thing I learned about octopi was that there was an experiment where they had two of them in a tank, separated by a clear glass partition. They gave one of them a jar with a fish inside. The octopus feels around for a bit, gradually works out how to unscrew the jar and eats the fish. They put a jar with a fish on the other side. The other octopus instantly unscrews it and eats the fish inside. They learn by watching. This is huge in the animal kingdom.

Okay, yeah, if their learning is that fast that's pretty drat cool. I always thought their real show of insight was in problem solving and figuring out problems on their own with no help. Wasn't there another story at a marine research lab where they kept coming in in the morning to find fish were missing out of one of their tanks. They eventually set up a webcam at night and saw that an octopus in another tank not only figured out how to open the hatch on his tank, he would get out, crawl over to the other tank, and then steal a fish from that tank. After he was done, he would return to his tank and then close the latch behind him. This is the weirdest/coolest derail I've seen in a while.

TheBigBudgetSequel posted:Octopus learn really loving fast. What might take another animal a few times of watching to get, they get in a second. Smart motherfuckers. This may be because octopuses lack proprioception, meaning that they already need to use visual information to study the effects of their own arm movements. Watching another octopus solve a problem might actually be a similar experience to actually solving the problem itself.

It's actually no bullshit the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. Crosspost from general chat: quote:I can't get over it. Holy poo poo. It's a documentary about a guy who fancies himself a "sheriff" of the sea, and he goes around murdering apex predators and really anything that he just doesn't like. There's this amazing 12 foot tiger shark, and he dives in and stabs it to death just for the fun of it. Also, this:

Seperated at birth?  Also, this looks like a 90s video game box cover for a Carmageddon sequel.  Just terrible.  Is that Willis with... some grandpa hair? And is that supposed to be Joseph Gordon Levitt? And why are they all angular like a Max Payne character? Dissapointed Owl fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Apr 6, 2012 |

The "angular" edges of the people is because the designer who clipped the background out of the photos is terrible at using Photoshop. It looks like he used the 6+ year old method of using a bezier path rather than the more up-to-date quick-selection/refine-edge layer masking (which deals much better with hair detailing and allows for manual adjustments after the fact). He/she definitely messed up JGL's cheekbone, and the photos look kinda blurry to start with. But yeah, it would be a good poster if it weren't for that. Photoshop education!

So, like, quadruple on board. Dissapointed Owl posted:And is that supposed to be Joseph Gordon Levitt? The makeup or prosthetics they're using to make JGL look more Willis-y is probably contributing to that. I just hope it looks good when filmed. The photos make it look a little 'eh'.
