Incredible Color-Changing Shape-Shifting Octopus! 🐙

in #nature6 years ago


Amazing footage of two octopuses trying to mate while a third one watches! Watch as the white male at the beginning of the video goes through a mindblowing amalgamation of colors, shapes, and textures as he attempts to impress the female on the ledge below.

The transformation at 2m30s in the video is out-of-this-world! Easily one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life!!!

Octopus = Magic 🐙🐙🐙


Filmed by @thescubageek on Richelieu Rock, Thailand, at 27m/90ft with GoPro Hero4 during Dive #2190.

whoa! great shot ! well done,
quick question you where using red filter on your gopro ?
I think not but im trying to figure out if red filter needs a light source as well :)

@rouketas no, I wasn't using a red filter on this video, hence the slightly washed-out colors. We were 27m/90ft down when we saw these octopuses and all I had a crappy Thai knock-off filter that made everything look deep purple at that depth 😞.

I have since purchased the Big Blue 1200 lumen wide-angle dive light which works great at softly restoring the reds to deep shots, as well as serving as an excellent dive light for night dives.

Awesome thanks will have a look ! Ill have to search around also how much it can spread the beam of light , for filming purposes as well ! ^^

What a wonder of nature. Totally beautiful creatures that embellish marine life. Thanks for sharing.

Octopuses are such amazing animals!!

I know! I love them so much I have a giant octopus tattooed on my back!

I was so lucky to get to see three at the same time... once-in-a-lifetime sighting!

Awesome!!

Beautiful underwater life.

waoo amazing.

Amazing Video!!
