"An Australian marine biologist witnessed an octopus rolling a plastic pipe
filled with eggs into the ocean, as seen in a video taken on a beach in the
Melbourne suburb of McCrae, Victoria, on June 6. Sheree Marris, a marine
biologist and author based in nearby Rosebud, Victoria, wrote in the video’s
caption that she’s always looking for “interesting life” that may have washed
up on the beach during her daily morning walks. When she came across a plastic
cylinder and could see bright red tentacles covering an opening, she identified
it as a pale octopus – which are typically only found on the cooler, southern
shores of Australia. Marris said when she picked the pipe up to put it back in
the sea, the female octopus emerged and began trying to push her “temporary
home” by herself."
