Scientists recently found the world's largest-ever octopus gathering deep in the seas of California's Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
The octopuses were found brooding, which is not to say that they were petulant. Rather, most of the creatures had their eight tentacles inverted to protect eggs, and researchers posit that the underwater gathering is made up of females. The eggs were fastened on rocks approximately 10,000 feet below the ocean’s surface.
It should be clear by now that we find the octopus fascinating.
