Researchers have found an 'octopus village' off Australia that reveals the creatures' social side
Octopuses, once thought to be loners who lived and hunted with little interaction from others of their kind, are actually quite social.
Scientists have discovered a village of sorts used by more than 50 octopuses on the sea floor about 17 metres deep in Jervis Bay south of Sydney.
The site is a flat area formed around an unidentified, partially buried artifact which provides places to hide, or dens, for octopuses.
