OCTOPI ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!

This may be late, but as the only site DEVOTED to all things cephalopodic and octopi especially, this is important news.

Octopus can use tools!

Specifically, they can tippy-toe around the ocean floor with coconut shells suctioned underneath them and then hide in the coconut shells when they feel scared. Think of the person you know that still believes in the usefulness of bomb shelters, and then this is the octopus equivalent. They need the shell just in case.
