0:00- Scientists found something underwater near Australia

0:02that shouldn't exist.

0:03Some people are calling them underwater cities,

0:06but that's not exactly right.

0:08They're even cooler.

0:09These are secret communes built by octopuses.

0:13And hopefully by now,

0:14you know that octopuses is the right plural of octopus.

0:16Fight in the comments.

0:17Like James Dean and Dr. Robby,

0:19octopuses are famous for being loners.

0:22And if two octopuses happen to run into each other,

0:24there's a good chance they'll either fight

0:25or one's going to eat the other one.

0:27You never wanna fight an octopus. They're well armed.

0:30But scientists recently found these weird sites

0:33where up to 15 octopuses hang out

0:35within a tentacle's reach of each other.

0:36Each of these octopus communes

0:38is basically just a bed of shells

0:40surrounding something sticking out of the sand,

0:42like a random manmade object,

0:44a few patches of rocks, kinda like cephalopod hedge.

0:47So it seems like a few of them made dens

0:49around whatever they could find sticking out of the sand,

0:51even if that meant being neighbors with someone

0:53that you'd rather have a tentaconflict with.

0:55Now, over time, the octopus has brought scallops

0:57and other prey back to their dens,

0:59tossed out the empty shells.

1:00This bed of shells created hideouts for even more octopuses

1:03who came and made new dens and added more shells

1:05until they had this whole little hangout.

1:07It's not exactly a utopia.

1:09The octopuses are often slinging mud

1:11and smacking each other with their tentacles.

1:12Sometimes they kick their enemies out altogether.

1:15It's basically an HOA, a home octopus association,

1:18but they also flirt and mate,

1:20so there's some spring break Airbnb vibes going on too.

1:23Anyway, turns out that some of the ocean's biggest loners

1:25have these whole hidden social lives on the sea floor.

1:28But hey, at least it proves they're not shellfish.

1:30Follow me for more cool science videos.
