The protagonist of this issue is a magical octopus . It not only rides a shark, but also makes friends with humans...
sounds like a fairy tale, but these plots come from a high-scoring documentary, which is -
"My Octopus Teacher"
Just listening to the name may be a cartoon work, but the heroine of the story, is a real octopus. It is cunning, smart and cautious. Netizens call it "Sister Octopus" or "Miss Octopus":
The male protagonist is the producer of nature films and the filmmaker of the documentary. Craig Foster:
Craig Foster uses the lens to record 80% of Miss Octopus's life journey, from their encounter, to mutual trust, and then to her soul returning to nature.

During this period, there was a prudence of mutual testing, friendship across species, and cruel hunting and being hunted, which made many viewers cry.
So, what exactly happened between them?
"My Octopus Teacher" was filmed in 2010. Due to reasons such as life, work, and poor health, Craig Foster began to try free diving in the South African waters, trying to find changes.
He did not carry an oxygen cylinder, nor did he wear too many diving equipment, so he simply dived and then felt and explored the charm of the ocean. This sea area is like an underwater forest, and the diving process is like flying in the water. He has photographed many rare scenes.
, especially, I met the heroine in the documentary, an octopus:
Hmm? Where is the octopus?
There is no doubt that she is under this pile of shells. She is trying to disguise herself with this, and then suddenly, she pulled away, and the "road" fish around her were stunned:
This magical operation naturally attracted Craig Foster, However, Sister Octopus has more behaviors beyond his perception.
In order to prevent being touched and caught by Craig Foster, she wrapped her body with seaweed, and the whole movement was like Harry Potter was wearing a magic cloak.
Then through the gap, they observed the strange creatures outside: they didn’t look like food, but they didn’t look like they wanted to eat their own creatures.
Then, suddenly, sealed the cigarette, left, and disappeared into the sea:
Craig Foster was extremely shocked by this and had a crazy idea:
He was going to visit this smart-looking Miss Octopus every day to see if there was something magical about it.
But it is obviously difficult to win the other party’s trust. At first he tried to put the camera down and leave to eliminate the other party's guard.
However, Sister Octopus was still very alert. She used Baker as her shield, hid behind, and then slowly approached to check:
But the camera couldn't last long because it would be dragged away by her:
About a month later, as the brother visited more and more, Miss Octopus's fear of people gradually disappeared. She would stick her body out of the cave with curiosity and observe the human.
But at the same time, she was still on guard and ready to escape at any time:
Until one day, Craig Foster's visit completely eliminated her vigilance.
When the human stretched out her finger, she also responded on her own initiative. extended her tentacles to the other party:
This seemed like a handshake, or a hook, and more like a test after removing the precaution.
is a bit cute.
After this, Miss Octopus completely eliminated her vigilance against Craig Foster, and she allowed the photographer to follow her when she went out to "shop".
will even take the initiative to approach him, as if chasing and playing with each other:
But the trust that he finally established was broken by an accident.
On the 52nd day of the shooting, Craig Foster's shot fell unexpectedly. This seems nothing to humans, but it is a change for the octopus.
was frightened and fled quickly, then disappeared into the sea. The protagonist could only return to the shore with regret.
Octopus Miss disappeared, and it is difficult for humans to find a smart octopus hiding their whereabouts.
But the old man did not intend to give up this friendship, and even became an undersea detective for this, preparing to find her from clues.
He began to understand the habits of undersea creatures more, tried to think from the perspective of an octopus, and based on his many visits, photos, clues, drew a chart to determine the general search range every day:
Some netizens joked that this behavior is like " Haidilao ". Fortunately, hard work pays off. After spending a whole week, the persistent Craig Foster finally met Miss Octopus again:
But there is a problem, does she still remember him? . Will an octopus remember someone? The answer to
was soon revealed. The magical thing was that she did not run again this time, but swam towards him. She still remembered this human, or, in other words, this strange creature that needed to breathe from time to time on the sea to breathe.
She even climbed into his hands, like a long-distance reunion between old friends:
But at this time, Craig Foster really needed to breathe, so he had to float back to the water. He originally thought Miss Octopus would let go of her tentacles and let him go, but she didn't do that. Instead, he stayed obediently in his hands and floated up until he approached the water:
Obviously, Craig Foster established some kind of connection with the mollusk. The octopus did not get any profit from him, but was willing to contact him and swim together:
even lay on him and changed his color by the way. This close contact with
also made Craig Foster understand the magic of octopus.
After checking the information, he found that this octopus is very ordinary, called real books , but it is also very smart, and it is said that its intelligence is close to that of cats and dogs.
In close shooting, he found that the octopus could actually walk with his feet:
may be imitating seaweed, which is a genius disguise:
In addition, she is also an excellent hunter.
The first-class technology of catching crabs:
But with the same strategy and hunting posture, I couldn't catch the lobster because the other party would eject:
Escape instantly:
But after many failures, Miss Octopus has a new strategy.
She put the lobster between herself and the male protagonist, treating the male protagonist as a tool to block the lobster's movements, and then like a net, she grabbed it from top to bottom and succeeded in one fell swoop. Craig Foster admired this process of thinking and changing strategies.
But if you think the life of an octopus is worry-free, you are wrong, because in this water, hunters are sometimes prey.
There is also a group of nightgown sharks living in the area where Miss Octopus lives. She lost a tentacle under the encirclement and almost died:
. When the filming was 304 days ago, even staged a shocking escape. A giant nightgown shark stared at her again:
, while she hid in the pile of seaweed, playing hide-and-seek, and after grabbing a gap, she ran away urgently and quickly ran away, but the shark also followed her:
had no choice but to wrap herself in the seaweed again, trying to avoid the pursuit:
But the nightgown shark looks for prey through the smell and starts to tear up the seaweed, so that the octopus will be exposed sooner or later:
At the critical moment, the octopus ran away again, and then did an operation that shocked everyone,
she got ashore.
will go ashore, you can't imagine?
But she couldn't stay on the shore all the time, but the shark in the water was still waiting for her.
So, this life-and-death pursuit finally returned to the sea. At this time, Miss Octopus, who was desperate, offered her ultimate skill: disguise.
She used shells to paste her body and disguised herself as a stone.
This set of operations directly shocked our human male protagonist. Isn’t this the kind of avoidance combo he had when he first met?
But the shark didn't eat this set, so he directly saw through it, and then kept biting the octopus lady. It seemed that this time it was doomed.
At this time, Craig Foster had to leave the battlefield because he needed to breathe, and then he returned as fast as possible, but the scene in front of him surprised him.
Miss Octopus did not become a shark's ration, but hid in the most dangerous and safest place -
The back of the shark.
directly turned around, just like unlocking a new mount, she even brought a sea urchin. The director and male lead are dumbfounded and don’t dare to write movies like this, but they are naturally so magical, no script is needed.
Finally, Miss Octopus successfully jumped out of the car and escaped completely. This life-and-death game of
is really tense and exciting.
is different from other documentaries. "My Octopus Teacher" does not focus on telling scientific knowledge, but starts from the perspective of personal experience and pays more attention to expressing experiences and emotions.
The lifespan of the real book is very short, only 12 to 18 months, and the documentary also records the last moment of her life. Clever strategy, friendship with humanity, and cruel laws of nature, Craig Foster has brought different feelings to different audiences with more than 300 days of record. Some people, like the author, use octopus as their teacher and think about their own life and life in reverse, while others feel the magic of nature and the spirituality of animals.
And I myself prefer the scene of the octopus "sucking fish":
Yes, she was not hunting, but simply scaring the little fish with her tentacles, and enjoying it:
After playing, it rushed straight to the male protagonist and rushed to his side, as if hugging and greeting each other with friends.
This may be the simplest friendship between humans and animals.
