Octopuses wrap and squeeze objects, including humans, as a way to explore their environment and gather information through touch. Their flexible bodies and strong arms allow them to manipulate objects, providing sensory feedback. This behavior can also be a defensive mechanism, where they may wrap around something perceived as a threat to assess or escape from it. Additionally, their suckers can create a strong grip, making it easier for them to hold onto prey or navigate complex spaces.
