Did you know baby octopuses start life as plankton? 🐙 After hatching, many octopus species enter a planktonic phase meaning they are tiny, drifting in the open ocean, & totally at the mercy of currents & predators. These floating babies, called paralarvae, feed on microscopic animals & can drift for weeks before settling on the seafloor to begin life as adult octopus. While in this phase they often latch onto drifting debris near the surface for protection. We got this one off a Doritos bag whi

Octopuses are perhaps the most complicated group of species on the planet. They have an evolutionary history that goes back over 500 million years, a period long before plants even moved onto land. Their genome shows an unprecedented level of complexity with a staggering 33,000 protein-coding genes identified (that's more than in a human being!). Octopuses possess highly developed brains and are considered as the most intelligent invertebrate demonstrating elaborate problem-solving behaviours. T

Have you even seen an octopus being born? 🐙 Baby octopuses (called paralarvae) hatch from eggs as tiny, fully formed octopuses, complete with eight arms and working suckers. From birth they can already activate their chromatophores, special pigment cells, allowing them to change colour and pattern almost instantly for camouflage. They spend their first days drifting with plankton before settling on the seafloor to grow and hunt. Even at this early stage they can jet-propel through the water and

Female octopuses are dedicated mothers. They lay and guard their eggs, often forgoing food during this period. After hatching, many octopus larvae are planktonic and drift in the ocean currents. #octopus #ocean #travel 🌐 https://critterrepublic.com/ 📧 info@critterrepublic.com 🏩 Sierra Hotel and Resort | Critter Hunter

An #octopus larva the size of an M&M flashes its pigment cells (chromatophores), a type of camouflage. Many octopuses spend their early lives in the open water column, then as they get bigger find a home on the #sea floor. Found in the #oceantwilightzone, the area between 200-1000 meters deep, which we are currently exploring with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) . 📷: Patrick Hopkins | OceanX
