Gift link with video, because a static archive doesn't do the opening video justice: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/science/cuttlefish-camouflage-huting-crabs.html?unlocked_article_code=1.1U4.y9tH.Aujw5YLUNl3v&smid=url-share https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/science/cuttlefish-camouf...

Thanks! I didn't realize the static archive was missing the video. These are better than what's on Santon's site.

Here the link to the mp4 file (from my InternetDownloadManager) https://vp.nyt.com/video/2025/03/03/135038_1_03tb-cuttlefish-95551_wg_1080p.mp4 https://vp.nyt.com/video/2025/03/03/135038_1_03tb-cuttlefish...

  There are 4 videos in the article, each with different forms of predatory approach. It's very neat.

    Using the above gift link as argument to yt-dlp, you can download all four videos in one fell swoop. If you want to just watch the four videos and not read the article. yt-dlp --add-metadata "https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/science/cuttlefish-camouflage-huting-crabs.html?unlocked_article_code=1.1U4.y9tH.Aujw5YLUNl3v&smid=url-share"

        Maybe you have to update yt-dlp, or maybe the link has been used by too many people? For me it worked.

Hmm, for Firefox on Android, the videos animate once and then stop, still-framed forever. Ditto in desktop mode. Weird. Time to go over to a real computer I guess.

  They don't play on Chrome for Android, either.

  The playback was broken on Firefox android from both the main site and direct url here as well, but was able to watch the video correctly after downloading it locally.

I appreciate the gift but I suspect sleep tonight will be less than appreciative.

  I don’t think the crabs are confusing their prey so much as paralyzing them with fear
