Description

The Coconut Octopus (Amphioctopus marginatus) is a cephalopod that gets their name from making dens out of hollow coconut shells that they find along the coasts. Coconut Octopuses have a dark coloring with a pattern that resembles veins. They are native to the tropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific Ocean. The diet of the Coconut Octopus consists of shrimp, crabs, and clams. Coconut Octopuses are one of the two octopuses that are capable of bipedal locomotion or moving through the use of 2 limbs, like humans walk. They also use any trash they find for concealment and self-defense.
