Cyriak @cyriak.bsky.social · 19/09/2026are there any animals that have figured out using containers for carrying stuff around? I don't mean like a pouch or any other body part. I mean like a tool that they use for transporting stuff. Must be some examples of animal baggage out there. 10572
Lady Deadness @ladydeadness.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The Coconut octopus and Hermit crabs are the first animals to come to mind, the first using coconuts and the latter using whatever they can get their claws on. But they usually just use those things to carry themselves, not necessarily other things 010

Flying Circuits @flyingcircuits.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I've heard a couple instances of pet parrots carrying around small containers of water or seeds (and being aware of how to keep it from spilling), but it sounds like their owners always hand them the container so it's a marginal example. 010
Rob Cruickshank @robcruickshank.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The coconut octopus is pretty close to figuring it out, I think: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2Eb...youtube.comAn Octopus' Coconut HomeYouTube video by Nature on PBS 160
