The Biological Superpowers of the Blue-Ringed Octopus

Описание: The blue-ringed octopus is one of the most dangerous animals on Earth, small, beautiful, and armed with a powerful venom that has no antidote. In this video, we explore how this tiny cephalopod hides in tide pools, flashes its electric blue rings, and uses tetrodotoxin to paralyze prey in minutes.

Learn where blue-ringed octopuses live, how they hunt, why their venom is so potent, and what happens if a human is bitten. This documentary covers behavior, habitat, camouflage, reproduction, and real science behind one of the ocean’s most toxic creatures.
