NGINAMANU, Indonesia (UPI) -- A clever octopus in Indonesian waters was caught on video showing off its ability to roll along the ocean floor using two coconut halves.
The video, filmed near the village of Nginamanu, Indonesia, shows cephalopod holding onto the two halves of a coconut to roll along the ocean floor.
The shell gives the octopus extra speed as well as protection from any obstacles it might encounter.
The mollusk emerges from the artificial armor and spends some time walking with its tentacles before jumping back into the coconut for another round of rolling.
