Deadly 360: Cephalopods

Series 1, episode 12

Steve Backshall recreates incredible hunts by some of the world's deadliest creatures, analysing the techniques and tactics of both predator and prey in forensic detail, to reveal why hunts sometime succeed and why they sometimes fail. Steve Backshall recreates three incredible hunts by cephalopods, strange alien-like creatures of the deep. A resourceful octopus tries to crack a crab's armour, hundreds of Humboldt squid launch a mass attack on a huge shoal of open water fish and a pulsating cuttlefish uses its powers of disguise to try creep up on a near-invisible shrimp.
