00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:09.080
Has that upside down octopus look to it.

2
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:11.160
Yeah. We have another octopus.

3
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:17.840
Are those sacks under it? Oh! And those are octopus eggs!

4
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.600
Oh wow! That is amazing!

5
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:28.800
So yeah, this octopus is on her eggs.

6
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:33.120
It is a 
Graneledone, a warty octopod.

7
00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:39.640
It's the same genus as Bruce Roberson documented brooding its eggs for over four years.

8
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.920
Wow. Yeah. That female is gonna be sitting there for a very long time.

9
00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:51.120
Yeah. We should put a mark here and, you know, come back in another couple years, see if she's still there.

10
00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:57.440
I would love to do that. That would be a great test of the hypothesis. It would. It really would.

11
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:06.160
She's probably gonna be sitting on those eggs, protecting them, keeping them clean, for years, as far as we know. Yeah.

12
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.400
Without ever going out and feeding or anything like that. That's really amazing.

13
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:20.400
It's pretty special to be able to see one of these warty octopods sitting here brooding her eggs.
