Determined Octopus Walks an Empty Coconut Shell Across the Ocean Floor

A determined coconut octopus walked upright, carrying an open empty coconut shell across the ocean floor in an attempt to find a better view for his nomadic home.

According to a comment by tweevers2, this event only happens once in a year.

Once a year he comes out of his nutty coco abode to pick it up and move ten feet…ya know for new scenery. He is like the mobile home park of the Octopus world.
