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

Who here has made their friends octo-fans? ⬇️ The veined octopus (aka coconut octopus) scoops up shells & other ocean floor Thingamabobs & stacks them like plates at a buffet then waddles along the seafloor like a person on stilts! …but when danger comes knocking, this octopus turns into an eight-armed armadillo, assembling its shells (or coconuts) into makeshift armor.

Rate this makeshift home from 1 to 8! 🥥 Coconut Octopuses are also nicknamed ‘veined octopus’ because of the dark branched veins that run down their body and arms. 🛡This specific species seem to be super in touch with how vulnerable & squishy their bodies are— as they grow larger, they’ll start shopping around to make their armor more efficient. 🤿 Some scuba diver friends of ours have mentioned that they’ll sometimes find and suggest better living arrangements by placing a shell or coconut wi

Caption this! “The Original Moonwalker” 🎥: bugDreamer.com 🦴Octopuses are boneless! (Despite how much confusion that octopus skeleton Halloween prop has caused — have you seen it? Haha) They do have something called a hydrostatic skeleton though—Which, in water, is way cooler than our pesky bones! 💦 Unlike bone structures with rigid skeletal elements, the octopus can bend, twist, elongate, (and more) at MULTIPLE locations simultaneously. 🐘 An elephants trunk and your tongue is another example

Divers spent a whole dive and most of their air saving this octopus from what was bound to be a cruel fate. The coconut octopus, also known as veined octopus, is born with the instinct to protect itself by creating a mobile home out of coconut or clam shells. This particular individual however has been trapped by their instincts and have made a home out of a plastic cup they found underwater. While a shell is a sturdy protection, a passing eel or flounder would probably swallow the cup with the
