The octopus is by far my favorite animal. It is considered the most intelligent invertebrate in the world and I think it's the cutest.
My friend sent my this link to this amazing video of a Indonesian Veined Octopus (Amphioctopus marginatus) using coconut husks to build itself a shelter. Not only is this octopus shown building a shelter, it's also shown transporting the coconuts from one place to another. It can no longer be considered an impromptu utilization of its environment; some cognitive decision was made.
The use of tools is frequently used to separated the "higher organisms" like humans and primates from the rest.
