I hear you giggling.

It's easy for an octopus to camouflage itself amongst aquatic vegetation and colorful reefs, but Amphioctopus marginatus frequents shallow, sandy waters where the monotonous scenery is often only broken by the sunken shells of coconuts. By bunching itself into a tight, dark ball, it takes on the appearance of this fallen fruit and "tip toes" away as though rolling in the current. The only other species to demonstrate this bipedal motion is Abdopus aculeatus, which prefers to walk around in the guise of seaweed. This is not, however, the only coconut-related defense by an octopus...
