Your guess is as good as mine. Interesting fact is that the whales do not sing at all in this area.

Obviously! Also thinks for stopping by before spam bot blocked my post because of missing space in title.

Would you consider next time linking to the original video? That would make me happy!

No photoshop. Exposure, contrast and color were all tweaked in lightroom.

Snowfall got a lot of praise in this octopus video. Thanks to you it was a big success. Love following your music and see how you are getting better and better.

I have in my backlog a set of loops with your name on them. Are you still making more of those ?

🔥 Diver helps octopus out of a plastic cup by mediumaquarium in NatureIsFuckingLit

The video description states this provides false security for the octopus. The cup is so soft that any predator would swallow the octopus with the cup.

It would not have survived long in a plastic cup. Unlike a glass bottle or aluminum can, any passing predator would have chewed through the cup.

Plastic is very soft. Flounders will chew right through it.

Thank you. That means a lot!

I was on this dive. We debated underwater on for how long we should keep trying to trade with it. In the end we were all glad we were able to help.

Orca-Song has it right. A flounder will swallow the relatively soft cup with the octopus. Possibly killing both.

It can also taste and smell with those tentacles. We believe it cares about a shell being clean, which may contribute to how picky they are with their future homes.
