Octopuses are strange and surprising

Publié le 04 Mai 2026

Information

Video published by BBC Earth

This short and beautiful video promotes a Natural World documentary on the BBC, available here.

Since Youtube blocked community participation for translating this video, I am adding here the translation of the different texts displayed for non-English speakers:

Octopuses are absolutely weird.
Their bodies are almost unique on Earth: blue blood, no bones, 3 hearts.
Their arsenal is made up of hundreds of suckers and a venomous beak, making them deadly predators.
Their behavior seems from another world, with a whole range of magnificent and strange abilities.

They can change color and texture with special muscles in their skin to avoid danger.
They are the Houdinis of the ocean.
They have proven to be very intelligent and able to solve complex problems.
They can manipulate objects to grab what is inside a screwed jar.
They even go as far as showing interest in events outside their aquatic world, such as watching TV.

Octopuses will interact with other species and even form bonds.
Some scientists think octopuses could dream. (This could be the first time ever that this has been recorded.)
Are octopuses aliens from planet Earth?

In short, this 59-minute documentary "The Octopus in My House" (2019-2020) seems really nice.

On the Nautilus Live channel, they briefly talked about it. Some say the octopus was brought closer to a TV, and only one particular position allowed it to see the television. The octopus supposedly quickly got into that position to watch TV, which seems impressive to me.

The documentary participants are:
Narrator -> David Scheel
Executive producer -> David Allen
Expert -> Brett Grasse
Editor -> Roger Webb
Producer -> Holly Spearing
Director -> Anna Fitch
Production manager -> Christian Holland
Production manager -> George Chignell
Production assistant -> David John
Production company -> Passion Planet
