[We saw this very active Pacific fourhorn octopus (Pteroctopus hoylei) while exploring an unnamed seamount northwest of Holanikū (Kure Atoll) in April.

Coconut #octopus (Amphioctopus marginatus) may get their name from taking shelter in discarded coconut shells, but that doesn’t mean they won’t investigate other items for protective potential. This one’s trying to find out if a glass jar will do the trick. 🐙 | Science Channel
