An Octopus in Indonesia was found taking shelter in coconut shells. This scene amazed the Australian scientists who were the spectators to this unusual sophisticated behavior by an invertebrate animal.

This octopus, Amphioctopus Marginatus, treasured halved coconut shells, and after clearing their insides carried them along to the depth of 65 feet. It made a shell out of two and used it as its hiding destination.

Research biologist Julian Finn confirmed that the complex behaviors like such can only be seen in higher vertebrates like humans, monkeys and a few birds. But these have been rarely ever seen in invertebrates like octopus.

Mr. Finn said," Over the 10-year period basically we observed about 20 octopuses and we would have seen about four different individuals carrying coconut shells over large distances".

Some other animals were discovered with similar behaviors as Mr. Finn said in a statement.

Simon Robson, associate professor of tropical biology at James Cook University in Townsville also added that Octopuses are intelligent invertebrates and have a well-developed sense of vision.
