This Graneledone boreopacifica octopus, identified by her distinctive scars, spent three times longer with her eggs than the brooding period of any other recorded octopus ever. Researchers still don’t know if this is typical for this octopus species, as long-term observations of deep-sea animals are pretty rare. But with more deep-sea dives, we may meet more long-term mothers like this octopus!
