Octo in a cup

We spent a whole dive and most of our air saving this octopus from what was bound to be a cruel fate.
The coconut octopus, also known as veined octopus, is born with the instinct to protect itself by creating a mobile home out of coconut or clam shells.
This particular individual however has been trapped by their instincts and have made a home out of a plastic cup they found underwater.
While a shell is a sturdy protection, a passing eel or flounder would probably swallow the cup with the octopus in it, most likely also killing the predator or weakening it to a point where it will be soon eaten by an even bigger fish.
We found this particular octopus at about 20 meters under the water, we tried for a long time to give it shells hoping that it would trade the shell. Coconut octopus are famous for being very picky about which shells they keep so we had to try with many different shells before it found one to be acceptable.

@@scoper7897 He's not trying to be spoiled, he just doesn't know, since he's an octopus, he doesn't have a sense of value. He likes the cup because it makes him feel safe, he doesn't know it isn't safe as he's an octopus and doesn't have a very wide knowledge of materials. He's selective of the shells because he wants one that will protect him the best, but for whatever odd reason, a plastic cup seemed to check those boxes well. It's important to look at animals with a bit more patience, they don't think like we do, so you cannot always apply the same labels given a situation.

Made me think of a day in 1961, a coral beach on Guam. Came on a small Octo (maybe 12 to 14" tip to tip. The tide was going out and it was "stranded" in a small water filled depression. (Now it may well have known what it was doing but...) Not wanting it to to be stranded high and dry I approached from opposite the closest receding water. And it did (as I hoped) retreat the right direction to the deeper water. It was there that same day, I found in another "depression" a small glass float (from a fishing net) that I had in my home Fish pond for over 50 years. In 2012 I pulled it out to clean algae off of it and slippery as it was, I dropped it - yep - on stone and it broke. I still have the memory of a beach where I would go for solitude, between Merizo and Inarahan, and (maybe) saving a young octopus.

@@timeup2549 1. Is not "cut a d***" is create a vag***. 2. the skin is LITERALLY the same of the rest of the humans. 3. The bones are the same less for a little difference that is to give birth and there are womans who do not develop that difference, for those womans if they need gice birth is necessary by cesarea (idk how is called in English, is when they cut the stomach of the girl to take the baby) Also there are unfertile womans who can't give birth naturally, the same for mens, they are less womans or less mens? Also there are womans who do not have the uterum functional or correctly developed, they are less womans? Please get some informatiom about biology. Thanks.

Good heavens.... in the deep sea 😊 What a beautiful interaction between a human hand and a small octopus. It seems to be intelligent, sort of understanding that this was an effort to give it a proper safe shelter. The humour of an octopus not knowing that an enclosure of a plastic transparent cup shows its body to predators.
