Nothing About Octopuses Makes Sense, Here’s Why...

From shallow reefs to the abyss, octopuses transform in astonishing ways to survive extreme depths. This video explores how shallow-water octopuses use intelligence, strong muscles, and rapid camouflage to hunt and hide, before descending into the twilight zone where light fades. In the deep, species like the glass octopus use transparency to vanish, while other deep-sea octopuses shed muscle and slow their metabolism to conserve energy. We witness the longest brooding mother in history and the Dumbo octopus thriving near 7,000 meters. Discover how anatomy, behavior, and survival strategies are rewritten in the ocean’s darkest, most mysterious depths.
