EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible intelligence and resourcefulness of a Coconut octopus in its natural habitat. Taken by Mathieu Meur, this image captures the moment when the remarkable cephalopod is seen carrying a clam shell along the ocean floor in North Sulawesi's Lembeh Strait. The Coconut octopus, scientifically known as Amphioctopus marginatus, exhibits an extraordinary ability to use objects from its surroundings for protection and camouflage. In this particular shot, it proudly displays its unique adaptation by clutching onto a perfectly fitting clam shell. The vibrant colors of Southeast Asia's underwater world provide a stunning backdrop for this fascinating scene. The sandy seabed contrasts beautifully with the rich hues of the coconut octopus and its prized possession. With no humans present, we are granted an intimate glimpse into nature at its finest. Mathieu Meur's exceptional photography skills capture every intricate detail of this mesmerizing creature. From its front view to full length, every aspect is meticulously portrayed in this horizontal color image. This photograph not only highlights the beauty of marine life but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these fragile ecosystems. It is through images like these that we can appreciate and marvel at the wonders that lie beneath our oceans' surfaces.
