An unlikely ally helps a coconut octopus escape a group of sharks.

In this amazing video from PBS, a robotic "spy octopus" helped a friend stay hidden from black tipped sharks. Following the departure of the threat, the coconut octopus embraces its companion with a hug.

Numerous viewers of the video are eager to witness additional footage featuring Spy Octopus.

"The purpose of these things is to capture close up footage of real animals... but I want to see more of Spy Octopus and his adventures! He's so cute! He waddles so unlike a normal Octopus and more like a kid in an oversized halloween costume, it's hillarious!" one commenter wrote.
