Octopuses Use Tools
Veined octopuses observed off the coast of Indonesia carried coconut shell halves under their bodies, and assembled them as necessary into shelters — something that wasn’t supposed to be possible in their corner of the animal kingdom.
CNN:
“We were blown away,” teammate Mark Norman, head of science at the Museum Victoria, said about the discovery. “It was hard not to laugh underwater and flood your (scuba) mask.”
“This is an octopus that runs around collecting cups, stacking them, running along with them underneath its body, and then assembling them as perfect armour if a predator comes along,” Norman said. “Planned future use.”
It’s that forward planning — and use of tools — that surprisingly makes the veined octopus one of the smartest animals on Earth.
KSDK:
“Tools, something we think is very special about humans, exists in other animal groups that we’ve never considered before, a low life form, a relative of a snail,” said Dr. Mark Norman of the Sciences Museum in Victoria. “These octopuses, they’re not simple animals.”
