Octopuses & Fish
Octopuses are usually considered to be solitary creatures, but this study suggests they may have richer social lives than previously thought. Researchers found they worked together with different species of fish when hunting for prey, even making decisions on behalf of the pack and sharing leadership responsibilities. But things don't always go swimmingly. Scientists witnessed octopuses punching fish in the group, apparently as a way of making them work harder and keeping them on task.
