Australia .. of course this happened in Australia.
"the video .. was captured in 2014 and 2015, but only now have the videos been fully analyzed."
"Octopuses are generally anti-social, the researchers noted in the study, but .. what covering another member of your species in silt, algae, and shells signifies may require further examination."
Australian scientists are a little slow on the uptake and in need of some more funding for further research, eh?
