That's Wild: Scientists recently caught footage of octopuses throwing seashells at each other. Now these fascinating tentacled creatures may join a short list of other animals who’ve been recorded hurling stuff, probably for some kind of social purpose. About half the recorded throws happened during mating attempts or other inter-octopus interactions, and females were usually the assailants. About 17% of the octopuses hit their mark: a pretty good average considering how tough it is to aim under
