Scientists recently discovered that COCONUTS MIGRATE!!!!

Well not literally.  They are carried which means those blokes in Monty Python got some of it right – coconuts migrate.  They’re carried by octopuses, not swallows.

“We were blown away,” said biologist Mark Norman of discovering the octopus behavior off Indonesia. “It was hard not to laugh underwater and flood your [scuba] mask.”

The coconut-carrying behavior makes the veined octopus the newest member of the elite club of tool-using animals—and the first member without a backbone, researchers say.

I blame speciesism.
