This must be an African Octopus. If it were a European Octopus, it wouldn't be able to carry the coconut.

Fish: Where'd you get the coconut?
Octopus: I found it.
Fish: Found it? On the sea floor? The coconut grows on land!
Octopus: What do you mean?
Fish: Well, this is an underwater zone.
Octopus: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plumber may seek warmer climes in winter yet these are not strangers to our land.
Fish: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Octopus: Not at all, they could be carried.

I wonder what is the sea-speed velocity of an unladen octopus?

Your loss.
I'm an American and I think Monty Python is hilarious. Especially the Holy Grail.
