Octopus and Fish Hunting Conspiracy
It seems like something out of an animated film, but the story is rather real. Imagine that an octopus sidles up to a fish that was going about its business, then presenting a proposition. The goal is to work together and do a bit of hunting.
Octopuses continue to amaze scientists with their abilities and intelligence. The octopus is normally a loner, yet it socializes with the fish. It is interesting that both parties have a say in the conspiracy and its execution.

The octopus was designed by the Lord Jesus with amazing powers of perception, understanding, and reasoning. It has been discovered that some octopuses (molluscs) actually work together with different species (e.g., fish) to hunt. When hungry, it can interact with fish and actually share complex decisions to acquire a meal. But they don’t need fish to feed.
