Octopuses usually hunt alone. However, they noticed that octopuses team up with different types of fish to catch prey like shellfish and crabs. The fish helps to find a good hunting spot while the octopus decides when to attack. Experts suggest that this joint effort leads to better success compared to either species hunting alone. They also pushed each other around to keep the group in order and the experts were able to film octopuses punching fish to keep them in their place.
