    It sounds more like enslavement than cooperative hunting or a rich social life.

    • A new study found that some members of an octopus species hunt cooperatively in groups with fish.

    • Video shows octopuses punching their companion fish to keep them on task and contributing to the hunt.

    • The findings indicate that some octopuses have richer social lives than scientists previously understood.
