Have you seen My Octopus Teacher on Netflix?

[footgal]

There arent enough movies and documentaries about marine life on NETFLIX. Ive seen it and I loved it, made me even want to buy a pygmy pacific octopus. Watch "Chasing Coral" if you havent seen it. Best thing ive seen.

Chasing coral was definitely pretty cool as well

What a beautiful story...I cried like a fool through a lot of it! Lol It amazes me how beautiful and intelligent these creatures are.

Spoiler alert!!!

Great documentary of a South African man that made friends with an octopus and documented his journey with her. Loved seeing the kelp forests and all of the creatures, fish and sharks.

This is on my watch list. I also want to read The Soul of an Octopus.

I thought it was great and the diver was so emotional and compassionate about what he was doing.

It won’t disappoint! Perhaps bring a few tears even.

I have a glass octopus necklace with a mother and baby. There is no sacrifice like the mother octopus. She literally gives all.

Just watched this last night. Great story. Did give me a question though at the beginning he talked about the fluctuation of sea temps but we tend to keep our tanks at a very close constant is there a reason this works in the wild and not in homes? Does this temp fluctuation kill off parasites? Anyway just a thought I had

You will enjoy this documentary then. It touches upon that without me ruining it for you.

They’re escape artists. And very brilliant animals. Although I do like to eat octopus, I kind of feel bad now.

 

[Paulie069]

Ok I’m watching it now and so far all I can say is ,, wow are you kidding me,,

 

[Paulie069]

Just finished watching the movie and if you don’t get just a lil lump in your throat then your dead inside,, a must see tv

 

[Steve089]

great documentary, loved seeing the octopus use shells as a defense mechanism and the trust building process between human, sea creature

Same here buddy. Her eyes just looked so human. Too bad octopuses have short life spans.
