There’s an octupus that uses cocunuts as both a form of protection & transportation...Among other uses such as hiding and stalking prey.
Apparently, It’s one of the only octopi that uses tools !

Ha, that's a really cool fact! I do agree with @friendly-fenix here: a picture or video would be cool Do you know how the species is called exactly?
From wiki:
“Amphioctopus marginatus, also known as the coconut octopus and veined octopus, is a medium-sized cephalopod belonging to the genus Amphioctopus. It is found in tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean. It commonly preys upon shrimp, crabs, and clams, and displays unusual behavior including bipedal walking and tool use (gathering coconut shells and seashells and using these for shelter).”
Some youtubes:
This 1 it’s using seashells
