Caption this video in the comments! 🎥: @benmantagilit Whistle while you work...Coconut octopuses are tidy animals that like to keep their home's sandy front yard spotless. They exhale through their siphon to shoot jets of water down into the sand to bury their shells to create an underground fortress built for one. 🦀 They've been seen cleaning up crab shells from around their den, stilt-walking a couple of feet, and then using their water-cannon-like siphon to blast their compost pile into the water column! 🧹 ✨ This spring-cleaning strategy protects them from pesky fish and other critters who show up unannounced looking for snacks. 🦈 🏠 In this video, the coconut octopus seems to be dusting off his shell door mat before hauling it back home and barricading itself for some peace and quiet. 🐙 💤 Comment “sweet dreams octo” if ya read this far!
