We have been looking for the secrets of the underwater world for a long time, but we still know less about it than about outer space. The living world in the depths, underwater volcanoes, and mysterious sunken traces of ancient civilizations have led to many unique discoveries, and now researchers have discovered another special feature. The “city” of Octopolis and Octlantis are stunning architectural masterpieces, and what makes them truly amazing is the character of their construction.
They found traces of a huge explosion under the water, the real surprise came when they saw what was hiding in the crater

Off the coast of Australia, they find these bizarre habitats made of shells and scrap metal that give the appearance of a regular settlement, though their builders can manage a little more body parts than we do. Polyps were the brilliant builders who created these places, which by our judgment could easily be considered cities. Of course, they are not official, but this did not detract from their greatness.
The gloomy octopus (Octopus tetricus) is an animal with a solitary nature. We have known so far that it avoids mixing with others and meeting its mates whenever possible. But now they have refuted it For previous misconceptions about her.
These amazingly intelligent creatures live in burrows on the sea floor, reinforced by shells and human detritus such as pieces of metal. They are smart enough to consciously create communal living spaces similar to a settlement, and at the same time, because of their own nature, they suspect instead that they are motivated by the excellent features of the place.
Could a huge underwater structure save the Earth? They want to solve humanity’s problems in a new way

In this environment, the amount of food available is plentiful, but there are plenty of predators dangerous to them, but no oversupply of suitable hiding places. If they manage to carve out some good habitat for themselves that they can use for years afterwards, they will accumulate plenty of shells around them during that time thanks to their diet. With these, they can create more durable homes for themselves than if they simply dug their new apartment into the soft sediment.
The scattered shells also provide excellent building materials for other octopuses, so it is already understandable that these city-like living communities are created. Experts have yet to agree on why large shells were chosen. These are more convenient to build, but at the same time they provide more food, in short, it is not known what prompted them in their choice. Of course, it is also not excluded that they are smart enough and take both factors into account when choosing veneers.
City standards are of course more complex than that. The entirety of the habitats, even if they were all built on purpose, is not a city, but that does not diminish the importance of this amazing find, which gives an excellent insight into the lives of these special creatures.
