The fascinating protagonist of this video is the coconut octopus, a species that lives in the Pacific Ocean known for some of his particular habits. In addition to a curious way of moving "on two legs", the animal gets its name from the practice of finding objects on the seabed (often, in fact, coconut shells) to use as a hideout. Pretty awesome !
