Remarkable footage of veined octopuses collecting coconut halves for use when under threat could be the first example of tool use in invertebrates.Warning: This video contains footage of an octopus hiding under a coconut shell that it has carried around just in case it needed to hide from something. Watching this footage may contradict your previous assumptions about animal tool use, and may be too adorable for some viewers.
