Octopuses have been known to show that they're pretty smart, but some newly filmed octopus behavior has scientists even more amazed. The footage shows an octopus carrying a coconut shell with it to use as a shelter. The critter holds the shell against its body and "walks" on its eight tentacles across the ocean floor, then hops inside the shell when it feels the need to hide.
Check out the footage here.

New Trips Added to the 2010 Schedule!
Husker Divers is your one-stop dive travel shop, whether you're looking for a destination or gear for your trip. For this summer, we've recently added two new destinations to the lineup.
Stuart's Cove, Nassau, Bahamas, July 17-21, 2010: This fun island has a variety of great dives for you to experience. Try one of several wall dives. Explore a shallow reef. Check out the 200' freighter sunk in 35-50 feet of water, making it accessible even to new divers!
We'll be staying at the Orange Hill Inn, which is a quiet, country-style resort that was once an orange orchard plantation.
This trip package includes four nights at the Orange Hill Inn; Bahamas government taxes for hotels, hotel gratuities and maid service fees; three days of 2 tank dives; transportation to and from Stuart's Cove, and tanks, weights, and weight belt. An optional afternoon shark dive is available for an additional fee.
Not included in the package price are: airfare to Nassau (you can get some really good internet deals, but please contact us for help arranging your airfare if needed. Keep in mind that if you will dive on the third day, your flight cannot be scheduled to depart Nassau before noon on Wednesday), diving on arrival or departure day, meals, optional divemaster tips, and airport transfers.
Diver price is just $570 based on double occupancy. A $100 deposit reserves your spot.
La Paz, Mexico, October 16-23, 2009: Experience some of the world's most incredible diving! October is the season for the migration of thousands of whales and dolphins. We've seen bottlenose dolphins, spinner dolphins, pilot whales, giant manta rays, baby rays, whale sharks, and hammerhead sharks.
Package includes round trip airfare from Omaha to Cabo; round trip bus transfer from Cabo to Club Cantamar; seven nights at Club Cantamar; five days of 3-tank boat dives; breakfast each morning and lunch on dive days and hotel taxes. Nitrox is available for an extra fee.
The price per diver is $1,750, and for non-divers it's $1,476. Price is based on double occupancy and is subject to any tax increases. A deposit of $300 reserves your spot.
If you want to see the "big stuff," this is the trip for you!
