Aussie scientists find coconut-carrying octopus

tool use in an invert

"The scientists filmed the veined octopus, Amphioctopus marginatus, selecting halved coconut shells from the sea floor, emptying them out, carrying them under their bodies up to 65 feet (20 meters), and assembling two shells together to make a spherical hiding spot."

All kinds of awesome right there.

This is a slow loris, a nocturnal primate that hangs out in trees and lives in Asia. They are cute but endangered because people catch them to trade and sell for pets. We learned about them a little in anthro the week before last, and I Googled this picture because they are so cute.
