Its just using is camouflage to blend in with the boat. They also have no bones to break.
Imjustsupposedtolook
but still to be thrown around like that is just mean. If I had no bones I don't think I'd like being tossed around like that!
IMadeAnAccountJustToWriteThis
Luckily, octopuses have no concept of meanness or niceness. The octopus probably was not offended.
IMadeAnAccountJustToWriteThis
I'm pretty sure it can take it. Octopuses will climb into boats of their own accord, and are pretty tough buggers.
IMadeAnAccountJustToWriteThis
Also people kill and eat octopuses every day.

I might be wrong, but didn't it freeze?
Ladycane
You're right... you were wrong....
malaroo
seriously though why would it freeze lol. the water is going to be much colder, and unless it's -50C outside, nothing will freeze that fast.

Octopusses are the chamaleons of the sea. It's changing it's color to comouflage itself.

Ah, didn't quite catch that. I know I've seen other animals freeze almost instantly when pulled out of the ocean in really cold areas.

sort of true. chameleons don't actually change color for camo, just signals. http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/questions/question/2634/

I know, but I needed an example.
CindyWho4
About the comments - tissue can hurt, we have no idea what they think/feel, & climbing into a boat isn't the same as being thrown down.
flamingflamingo
Octopuses are invertebrates and many scientists believe that invertebrates are incapable of feeling pain as we vertebrates understand it.

That can be an entire discussion, about how we could possibly guess how another being experiences something...It's all theory. But all 1/2
CindyWho4
living beings will try to get away from negative stimulus, and we have no idea how they interpret that.
flamingflamingo
>> have no social behaviors that are often associated with highly emotional animals (like dolphins and parrots).
flamingflamingo
It's an evolutionary benefit to want to escape negative stimuli, making it impossible for any complex life to evolve WITHOUT this trait. >>
flamingflamingo
>>> While stress can kill unintelligent animals, it's probably folly to assume that animals can suffer to the same point that humans can.
flamingflamingo
Also sorry for the rant I'm totally drunk dude.

But pain isn't just a physical sensation, it's an emotional one. The theory is that for an animal to experience pain, it must also be >>

Yeh a normal golf ball you can see the ripple from the impact but it stays roughly golf ball shape

If by "golf ball shape" you mean "flat as a pancake for a second".

No I don't. The gif here is not a real golf ball.

electricity rushes to escape creating the lightning pattern. [2/2]

6: high voltage circuit breaker at a substation tripping. The high voltage and current causes arcing for a few moments even after it opens

7: looks like a piece of string or something shorts out the power lines and causes another temporarily sustained arc

8: white blood cell and bacterium (duh) 9: praying mantis and cricket 10: what is this sorcery? 11: lol invisible balls
