Abstract

In a noteworthy observation, Godfrey-Smith and colleagues report the first evidence of debris throwing in wild octopuses, including instances where they target conspecifics. Proposing parallels with behaviours observed in select social mammals, this discovery prompts inquiries into the extent of their similarity and the potential role of cognition.
