Did
you know that octopi reproduce only once? They put all of their energy
into generating and caring for the many eggs. The octopus will find a
den to lay her eggs. Following their hatching, she will not eat and will
spend all of her time caring for the eggs by cleaning and aerating
them. After they hatch, the mother shall die and the exact scientific
reason for this is unknown. They evidently use up all of their energy
while caring for the eggs and it’s believed that losing their eggs come
as a psychological shock, It is generally agreed that octopuses are
intelligent creatures and many scientists feel as though they see no
purpose in life following their eggs hatching, that combined with the
exhaustion results in them giving up and dying. The male also dies
shortly after mating.
