Coconut Octopus Hiding in Shells The coconut octopus is one of the few invertebrate species documented to use tools. They don’t just hide in shells; they collect and carry them, demonstrating complex planning and high cognitive function. They often select two halves of a clam or coconut shell, positioning one underneath them and holding the other above. When a predator approaches, they pull the two halves together, creating a nearly impenetrable, rolling shelter they can deploy instantly. Filmed

A piece of bamboo offered some cover, but not enough to feel safe. Then help arrived from an unexpected place. A small octopus shaped robot, part of a wildlife research project, drifted into view wearing a coconut shell like a helmet. What looked odd at first turned out to be exactly what the octopus needed. He carefully pulled the shell over, turning his hiding p

Today, I'm diving into clear coastal waters - like those off Florida or California - to hunt for hidden seafood treasures. The adventure kicks off with a massive octopus hiding in deep coral cracks, its strong suction fighting my grip as I carefully pull it out. Next, I uncover a huge trochus shell (a marine snail) with a built-in 'lid' and incredibly tender meat,
