Giant Deep-Sea Octopus Devours Jellyfish—And Keeps the Stingers | National Geographic

Scientists from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) discovered a rare sight in the deep ocean - a giant octopus eating a jellyfish and possibly using the stingers as a tool. The species, Haliphron atlanticus, is rarely seen alive and most of its life is a mystery to researchers. Females can be up to 13 feet in length and 165 pounds, while the males only grow to about 12 inches. Researchers think the octopus might use the jellyfish's poisonous stingers as a tool for defense or to capture other prey. ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/NatGeoSubscribe About National Geographic: National Geographic is the world's premium destination for science, exploration, and adventure.

1. Using the carcass of your previous meal to kill your next meal is pretty metal.
2. Octos are smarter than dogs.
   This guy uses remains of it's meal as a weapon. Dog can't dring a stick through a door.
3. Respect to the diver who dared go into such a deep blue sea. I don't set foot in a puddle.
4. well done!
5. misleading title is misleading
6. i thought the surprise ending was going to something like a shark attack tbh
7. Is that a freaking weaponized octopus?
8. I wonder will they eat up those larger and more dangerous pools of box jellyfish?
9. So basically... she is fat and he is tiny?
10. 0:12 que hentai
11. i knew that they live in the ocean i mean alien!
12. wheres the ending surprise?
13. Maybe the octopus was just getting a wicked high from the jellyfish stingers. The slow blinks give it away
14. The suction cups on that octopus are strange -- they're elongated. I think octopuses are so cool, that they are among the most inteligent creatures on the planet, yet related to mere slugs is mind-boggling. Thank you for all the videos National Geographic (I'm subbed to the channel AND the paper magazine!
15. new species from the deep ocean is exciting!
16. please can you write the sizes and weights in international mesurements? i always have to look up what inches/feet/ounces mean... thats too america-centralistic i think. you know that not only americans use youtube? i would expect national geographic to be more scientific... (but its a nice video!)
17. so awesome!!
18. Technically the octopus still keeping (some) of the jellyfish alive until...
19. kill them all
20. I have no idea what I'm looking at.
