Here’s a fant­astic little video via my friend Hel­lo­Hel­laS­tella about octupuses that use coconut shells as port­able housing:

“We were blown away,” said bio­lo­gist Mark Nor­man of dis­cov­er­ing the octopus beha­vior off Indone­sia. “It was hard not to laugh under­wa­ter and flood your [scuba] mask.”

The high­light, for me, comes half way through when the little guy tucks him­self inside two shells. When another scoots her way across the ocean floor is pretty cool too! This video does not con­tain sound.

Who said we coudn’t have a little fun around here, eh?
