This is only a few minutes later, but I'm not 100% if it is the same octopus. It looks more annoyed at being discovered than relieved at slipping back into a hole.

I'm not sure why this one is red. Most octopus can control their body color, but I'm also about 30cm away here, much closer than the previous shots. So it may be a combination of lighting, less loss of colour from the water, and octo-feelings.

Body and eyes of Wonderpus, Sogod Bay #Philippines #scuba #cephalopods

Body and eyes of red and white octopus protrude from hole in the sand. Both eyes are visible, and from this angle they look like they are on knobs sticking off the body.

The body itself about 3 times longer than wide, roughly lozenge shaped, tapering in behind the eyes. — Body and eyes of red and white octopus protrude from hole in the sand.

Same octopus, heading for a hole in the sand.

Sogod Bay #Philippines #scuba #cephalopods

Same redbrown and white octopus (see alt text for first image in thread for more information). Compared to the previous image more "webbing" skin behind the tentacles is visible and only the tips of a few of the arms are out of frame.

A few seconds later my many armed friend had had enough of me and started speeding across the sand.

Sogod Bay, #Philippines #scuba #cephalopods

Same red-brown and white octopus "in flight". Body is streamed out behind the vertical eyestalk Y and the arms are more visible, also kindof flailing around.

This "Wonderpus" actually came back out of hiding to check me out after the rest of the group swam a bit farther away.

Sogod Bay, #Philippines #scuba #cephalopods

Red brown octopus body centered in frame, upper parts of arms fill most of the remaining frame. Head is shaped like a Y with eyes on the tips, with a lozenge shaped sac attached to the join of the Y and extending backwards. Arms have white bands on them, while head has more chaotic white markings on Y with white dots on sac.

And So It Begins is one of the new films in our Resource Library in 2025!

This award-winning documentary is set amidst the Filipino elections of 2022. It follows Leni Robredo's 2022 presidential campaign and the quirky people’s movement that rises to defend the Philippines against deepening threats to truth and democracy in a collective act of joy as a form of resistance.

If you are in the US, And So It Begins is available on PBS!
