In Indonesia, a species of Octopus has been discovered, who use tools. The Octopus collects coconut shells to make a shelter. This is a rather usual behaviour that the scientists believe is the 1st evidence of tool use in an invertebrate animal. Dr. Mark Norman of the Sciences Museum, Victoria said, "Tools, something we think is very special about humans, exists in other animal groups that we've never considered before, a low life form, a relative of a snail,” he added, "These octopuses, they're not simple animals." One must watch the video film of the Octopus as it is one of the most unusual nature films, one will ever see as it has an octopus picking up a coconut shell then carrying it along the sea floor on its tentacles. The video is available on the net.
