Funny Octopi Use Tools Posted by Meera Dolasia on DOGO news

Octopi are smart creatures, we can't deny that. From knowing who will win the world cup to opening jars of jam, they have fascinated us with their intelligence. However, recently they have taken another step into intelligence: Mobile homes and armour. Using coconut shells from mollusk shells makes a lighter, effective defence that can be used as a home that can be moved around with ease. However, it does make them look awkward due to the fact that the coconuts are slightly bigger than them. Still, you can't help wonder what they will do next. Maybe create tools to help them hunt? Traps? We still don't know, but we can guess and hope that it won't make octopi the second smartest creatures on Earth and take over.
