Researchers of a new study have found that octopuses do not always hunt alone.
Some members of the species, Octopus cyanea, forage around in hunting groups with other fish.
These groups of fish can even include more than one species.
I find this fascinating.
We are very similar to these animals.
When the octopus catches the prey it also kills it, he added.
One item of prey is not divided, it is taken by whoever catches the prey first!
They have also captured octopuses punching their teammates when they fall out of line.
actively looking for prey) get punched/displaced much more often than other fish.
The lead author explained that they havent observed a situation where the fish counter-attack the octopus.
This isnt because they are weak but simply because they are dependent on the octopus.
