Octopus carries around its own shelter

[Pete Harcoff]

Thought this was kind of neat: Octopus carries around a coconut shell to hide in

Another example of animal innovation...

That was a fantastic piece of film - I love the octopus picking up the shell and running along with it!

Octopuses are are amazing, intelligent creatures. Have you seen the footage of the octopus taking out sharks at an aquarium?

For his inventiveness I think that octopus ought to get a Nobel Prize. (Hey at least the octopus did something.)

 

[Agonaces of Susa]

The only problem from a Darwinist perspective is that octopuses have been doing that for 95 million years so intelligence cannot have evolved in the last 5,000 years.

I saw this on the news this morning and thought it was just the coolest thing!!

Just thought I would add that after reading about this in the news I thought it was brilliant .

Now of course we need to find the answer to the big question...

Was it an African or European octopus?

"Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"

It's still just an octopus.....

 

[Agonaces of Susa]

It's still just an octopus.....

Exactly.

Evolutionists would have us believe it's a dog.

It's still just an octopus.....

But it's still cute.

--- I play a lot of Chess in Pogo, but not that 1-minute stuff.

Those blitz tournaments give me a headache.

I've played 1-minute Chess before, but I'm not very good at it.

I once won a blindfold game against my wife in college ---

Oh you're so naive. I always carry a coconut shell with me whenever I interact with females, just in case I need to hide, or eat them.

OK, if you are not animal, then are you vegetable, or mineral??

You can hide and live on coconuts for a long time!

I'm a MAN!

Interesting, would this be an indication that cephalopods have the cognitive capacity to understand the value of shelter and the benefit of expending effort to make it available?

I demand a case study. I demand yet more research be done into the intellectual capabilities of cephalopoda.
