"I'd like to beeeee.... under the seeeeea....."

A video from National Geographic reports: "Octopuses have been discovered tip-toeing with coconut-shell halves suctioned to their undersides, then reassembling the halves and disappearing inside for protection or deception".
The coconut-carrying behavior makes the veined octopus [Amphioctopus marginatus] the newest member of the elite club of tool-using animals—and the first member without a backbone, researchers say.
Hmn. The ONLY spineless tool-users? They obviously didn't take Homo sapiens congressi into account.....
