Coconut Octopuses

In oceans, many creatures hide behind large pieces of rocks and corrals to avoid being visible to their predators. Most of the creatures rely on natural hiding places, but there is a species of octopuses commonly known as coconut octopus. They are found to carry and gather stones and some other material to make their own hideouts. They also gather coconuts shells that people often throw in oceans and can drag them up to 50 feet away with their 2-inch long body.

There are many species of octopuses that use some sort of tools to make their own shelter – much like birds. But no any other octopus use the stones and other materials to make hideouts like coconut octopuses.
