RE: The Changing Face of Our Oceans Part 7: Tentacle Monsters From The Deep

in #ecology7 years ago

I've seen videos of octopi being quite clever with tools, like using coconuts as armor or hiding spots, maybe other like-creatures are also clever... Humans being humans, we've dumped a lot of plastic in the ocean, I wonder if octopi have used plastic bags as decoys for fooling their predators...

Speaking of plastic pollution, you're probably already aware of efforts like https://www.theoceancleanup.com/updates/unscheduled-learning-opportunities-on-the-north-sea/ , I hope their prototype tests are successful

Sort:  

That's actually going to be the topic of an upcoming post in this series! I don't know if octopi have used plastic bags this way, though.
