What ... the ... hell.

Pure awesome. All that needs to be said.

Awesome stuff, thanks for posting OP, wonder how long before they will figure out how they do it and re engineer it for us humans.

Amazing, i have never heard of this type of Octopus! I want one as a pet.

That is a really advanced sea animal. It must be really hard for anything to hunt and kill it. I wonder how long it has been in the ocean? An animal like that must have been around for a long time in order to advanced to the point of being able to exactly copy other animals perfectly. It evolution journey must have been very unique. So far, I have not seen any land animals which can do that like this animal can.

If it ever learns how to breath get oxygen from air it might become even more advanced.

Great show!

I genuinely believe that some of these Sea Creatures have come from another planet on a rock!

I believe its how we got here too.

But this definately looks like an Alien.

The mimic octopus is one of the coolest creatures I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing this with the ATS community. Never in my life have I seen such an amazing sea creature!!

First, S&F completely amazing. What an incredible creature and fantastic find. I would love to see the remainder of the video. I will check through the thread since I am sure I am not the only one...maybe someone has posted it already. They say it morphs into a variety of sea creature "like a chicken" That's not a sea creature so not sure how it would know what a chicken looks like. I think it was trying to look like a coral rock with seaweed around it - and doing a bang up job of it. What a great video you found.

It hasn't been posted before, as I made it myself by combining these two best clips we have of it into one and literally uploading today.

But ok, point taken if you have seen it here before and wanted to share that.

HA

Touche Drezden!

Don't see the problem of creating a similar thread anyway, whats everyones beef on here!!?

the octopus obviously is sentient...too bad they are chopped into cubes and eaten alive a lot

are you talking about pokemon?

Here's another wierd one. Not remotely in the same league as the mimic octopus n my opinion but still cool.

I think Phage posted this video in a thread like this one a whiles back.

The Vampire form is creepy as hell.

That Owl is brill!

Its a shame its in a zoo!

And if creatures like this exist on our own planet.. Just imagine what kind of species could be beyond our world.

Imagine what can be done with octopus>human trans-genetic engineering.

It's still just the human shell being altered/manipulated rather than the Soul though is the shell to be used for Good or for bad? Was Nicola Tesla's inventions used for good or bad? Imagine how free energy could have helped the human race while maintaining a clean biosphere. Mind blow #31 . Thought I'd share.

Wow a lot of crazy vids. Very interesting, loved it! Thx guys.

Like I've always said, we should explore the ocean depths, I bet aliens are right under our nose without us even knowing. Since most of the ocean below is uncharted, cannot imagine how much sea life thats undiscovered below as well.

Awesome post OP..... this is a great example of nature at its coolest.

Just amazing!Never seen anything like it!Thanks for sharin!

holy crap that thing is cool. STUDY IT and learn how to do that! NOW!

That was the coolest thing I have seen all week. Nice

S&F,
