Animals must choose between avoiding possible death or increasing energy input by feeding. Octopuses, in particular, have evolved various strategies to avoid predation and thereby cope with increased physical vulnerability. As soft-bodied creatures, they lack the hard shell that defines the typical molluscan body plan. To protect themselves, they seek shelter in dens, which is where they spend most of their daytime hours. Although foraging during the day is limited, they leave their protective structures to hunt when necessary. In this study, I evaluated the priorities of 10 wild octopuses, specifically Octopus vulgaris, by exploring the choices they made between protection and food acquisition. I presented individual octopuses with clams, ...
