I’ll say it for you…”AWWWW, I want one”

TIL: The Caribbean Octopus Vulgaris stops eating after it lays eggs and then sadly dies soon after they hatch, which kinda puts a damper on the whole ‘congratulations, it’s a boy’ cake.

The biologist responsible for their care, Richard Ross, caught the hatching of the eggs from start to finish on film, and describes it as a waterfall flowing upwards toward the water’s surface. Now, Ross is the proud father of thousands of tiny hatchlings.

Does anybody else think they look like tiny little skulls with an enlarged cranium?
