2. Afterward the octopus thought: "Sucker."

3. Then he ran off and grabbed an extra large Slushie,.....

.... and made a three story condo out of the large cup for himself and a few friends.

4. Octopus..awww..plastic cup would have lasted a 1000 years

15. But octopus would have been visible to predators

A predator might ignore two shells but would be able to see the prey inside the cup.

13. To you as well

My ex's mom was a lovely woman and he and I are still close. I'll go to her memorial when it happens, but traveling on short notice so close to the holidays is not possible.
Thanks for the lovely video. Octopi are so freakin' intelligent.

14. i agree. thanks .

8. I'm not sure

But I think it’s the same type of octopus I saw on a show about them recently. A little one like that got too close to a mantis shrimp and the octopus used one of the shell halves as a shield.
