We just learned about the European Squid.
Another type of cephalopod is the Coconut Octopus, also known as the veined octopus or amphioctopus marginatus.
This type of octopus lives mostly on the bottom of the water, and walks along in the sand.
It gets the name of coconut octopus, because it has been seen carrying empty coconut shells while it walks, and then when it wants to hide it climbs into the shell and closes it up.
Sometimes it will carry shells instead of coconuts and hide out in them, either hiding from predators or hiding so they can attack their prey.
Scientists also think that when it walks it looks like a coconut shell bouncing along the ocean floor.
