Octopus Trades His Plastic Cup For A Sea Shell

He feels like the picky customer we all have to please in retail stores. 

A video of this sea animal has gone a bit viral on Twitter for how both cute and interesting the entire interaction was between this octopus and the diver. In the video, we can initially see that it has been housing a rather big plastic cup, which was right on top of its head as if providing coverage against the harsh sea environment. 

The diver, noticing this, decides to swap the plastic cup for something that will be better for the animal. It tries to offer a few shells in the beginning, like a merchant showing his wares to a picky customer. It takes a few tries before the octopus agrees to a shell, and you can see its excitement as it manages to shrug off the plastic cup and have fun with its new sea shell. 

It’s really fascinating to watch!
