Octopus social skills: *sees other octopus* *throws sand in face* This #whereintheworldwednesday we’re finding the debris-throwing octopuses! In a recent study, wild octopuses were documented throwing debris for the first time! Throwing things is a behavior that is uncommon for animals and only seen in a few mammals.
