I am sure you guys have heard of this but it's so cool that they do it. The only invertebrates to have utilized tools. I would bing it if you want to learn more.

Octopuses have been discovered tip-toeing with coconut-shell halves suctioned to their undersides, then reassembling the halves and disappearing inside for protection or deception, a new study says.

First invert to utilize tools, makes them super advanced, and with such a short lifespan it is amazing.
