My Octopus Teacher
the cape of storms, Cape Town, South Africa
rocky shore intertidal kelp forest
Tracker —they can see the little sign that nature give to us .
He is a photographer who is experiencing the "dark times". Anxiety and sleeplessness grows in the center of the pacific ocean, facing the sea with ebb and flow, wind and waves
Decided to dive into the sea
In the sea you're basically flying like you're on another planet
Carrying an oxygen tank, not wearing a wetsuit, diving deep in the icy waters, experienced window time, you adapt.
In the sea, he fell in love with photography again and picked up the camera again (a bit like the urban white-collar workers in 996 who decided to have a gap year)
exotic strange underwater-animal
Dampen the swell murky
Dive and observe
It all started with a drama , an octopus lurking in a seashell wrapped algae in a cloak peeking at humans through slippery seaweed, what on earth this animal is doing . Even confused fishes.something is special about the octopus,what if I go there every day .
Found octopus predator - Pajama shocks (black stripes) robe sharks around her den while mapping her environment
nice her fear subsidy
sucker sucker tentacles jetting crawling swimming
she walks ?! have two legs !
Octopus is a very fragile, liquid, soft animal ,rely on tremendous intelligence.
Deceive predator.
I can't be fiddling around .
The full trust that was finally established may have scared the octopus away because of the accidental dropped lens. She was gone ,never went back to her own den.
He began to learn to find the tracks of octopuses
at first,it's difficult to discern the difference between octopus tracks,heart urchin heart urchin tracks,fish ,worm
OK I trust you ,human . She stared at each other unfamiliar and familiar in his hands
Dose she dream ? Ignite his curiosity, so he read scientific papers on and on .
2/3 of octopus cognition is not in the brain, but in the arm tentacles! 2000 suckers all operate independently, mollusks, her IQ is about equal to the low-level pirate of cats and dogs
Little research on octopuses blank
octopus are supposed to be a nocturnal species
When he learned that octopuses are nocturnal animals, he dived into the water for the first time in the dark and heard the sound of a humpback whale coming from a distance, hyperalert odd sound, den
lightning-fast strike, using tentacles as a weapon, rolling it up in seconds, rolling it up, a bit like a land snake
She fished in shallow water late at night because sharks are mostly in deep water
Although hiding in the deep crack, the shark smelled her chasing, grabbed one of her tentacles, turned on the shark's death flip attack mode, and finally bit the tentacle and returned.
move slowly like a wounded patient she is painful ,bleeding
After witnessing the shark bite off the tentacles of the octopus, he seems to have also experienced this tragedy and learned to empathize with wild animals
After a week of recuperation, the bitten antennae actually grew a tiny miniature arm
After 100 days, the tentacles she was bitten off were fully recovered.
How to hunt very tricky prey? spot the crab , the crab burrowed under the poisonous anemone, she wait and hide. Facing the cunning big lobster, she missed several times, and finally changed her strategy, ambushes from a high place, the sea tail snake also wanted to take a share, and was caught She gently tossed it aside with her tentacles
Molluscs are easy to catch, but what about the hard shell? Her awl drops poison into the shell (like a snake) mollusk
The curiosity of the protagonist, a map full of points, a collection of shells of many mollusks, clips and pins for photography cover a wall (envying the fascinated spirit of savvy like foreigners, reminds me of the French movie "Butterfly" Grandpa specimens, cultivate larvae, observe rare butterfly species)
People don't understand him, why you go to one place every day ? Only in this way , you can get the subtle difference.
He started from octopus, and the connection between predator and prey is the ecology of the underwater sea bathing forest
He compares the underwater world to an underwater brain, keeping everything balanced
Her cat-and-mouse game with the nightgown shark never stops, she wraps herself in the sea bath leaf, the shark smells her (the nightgown shark is not a visual predator, they rely on smell) frantically bites the sea bath leaf, behind her Spraying the gray-black mist to escape, she actually went ashore!
shark pick her scent again ,crazy chase on again .
2000 tentacles pickup as many shells and stones as possible at the same time, folding her arms over her vulnerable head, she hides in the least dangerous place, on the shark's back! shark wanna shake her away ,but she is on the up hand now ( haha that shark is like a groom dragging a hydrangea on his back then drop the remaining shells and jets away .
She frolics with swimming fish, does not forage during spawning, does not burrow until she dies
The moment the octopus stretched out its tentacles, she no longer regarded him as a visitor, but as a member of this natural ecology. He took his son to the beach to learn about shells and diving. His son also met a baby octopus, which is a little smaller than the palm of his hand. The balance of natural circulation is a great wisdom that we humans cannot understand. The wolf was shot and killed, and finally the deer flooding brought its own bitter consequences. We are only a small part of all living beings, a drop in the ocean. Don't pretend to be lofty, respect nature, and try to understand the life of every animal and plant. They also have aura, and their souls are no lower than ours.
