Scientists had no idea that octopuses were capable of this

An octopus, frightened by the spotlight of Australian marine researchers, demonstrated a unique skill - in a matter of seconds, it dug a house in the sand and hid in it. Previously, no one knew that cephalopods could do this.

Octopuses usually spend part of their lives in shelters between rocks, where they hide from their enemies. However, a representative of the species Octopus kaurna, known for its very thin and long tentacles, is capable of independently building a small cave underwater. To prevent the walls from crumbling, he holds them together with an adhesive secretion.
