There is zero solid evidence that octopuses can sense when a human woman is pregnant, nor that they are in any way interested. This is social media bullshit.
Dumb squid that can unscrew jars and sneak out of their tanks in aquariums to eat some of the other exhibits or squirt water at a light that was bothering them and short it out. Oh, and punch fish they don't like.
NSFW My guess is that the clip actually ends early based on her intonation and she's actually going to say something along the lines of "octopuses are often misunderstood. As highly intelligent creatures they can solve surprisingly complex puzzles" or something to that effect.
It's a popular contender and not specifically wrong due to common usage, but appallingly wrong when you consider the etymology. It's a Latinized plural of a borrowed Greek word.

Submerge in the water and gently stroke its mantle. It will move along on its own. Do not try to pull it off it will grip on you even harder.

What's the aim? Is it trying to hurt her? To eat her? Is it friendly and curious? Can that be a thing with these creatures? I am fascinated.

Octopi often seek out people, they are curious. I know because it has happened many times to me and friends while diving and snorkling. Witnessed.

Dolphins do so dunno, maybe they thought octopuses might as well?
alu21
Really? Are there any serious studies that demonstrate this for dolphins?
cousteau
Well it's popular knowledge. Not sure how much it has of science and how much it has of urban legend. https://www.livescience.com/38087-can-dolphins-detect-pregnant-women.html

So, It's a popular belief until it becomes scientific knowledge.

My guess is that it was meant to say "often misunderstood highly intelligent creatures"
cousteau
Maybe they said "misunderstood-ass highly intelligent creatures" and the captions didn't get that right.

Of all the ways to pluralize "octopus" that is the wrongest.
cousteau
I had to re-watch the video and oh shit are you right.
VonSnootingham
Actually, I wouldn't say it's wrongEST. Obvious the apostrophe is wrong, but "octopuses" is the most correct plural form of octopus.
Snooj
You are correct as far as my brain is concerned but my heart will always belong to "octopodes".
IMarkEverythingISayAsNSFWBecauseModsDontKnowWhatMatureMeans
NSFW Octopi?
cousteau
Wiktionary says that's nonstandard. The only non-nonstandard plurals seem to be octopuses and octopodes (the latter marked as "rare")

Tbf the "us" ending makes it sound Latin.
