She actually carries her eggs with her so they get fresh, oxygenated water, and protects them against predators, which is when she stops eating. She dies after the eggs hatch due to starvation or self mutilation. Almost like postpartum due to the intense hormones that continue after laying the eggs. The hormones have so much insulin and cholesterol that they trigger a system shut down. She survives just long enough for her eggs to hatch.

[@skypuppeteer]

@@wasteddude9387 Based on very basic quick research (so it may not be super accurate, my apologies on that), a lot of sources say females can get _up to_ 6 feet long, not that all of them will be six feet long.
Also, there's nothing super close in water to them that we can use as reference for their actual length/size, so they very well could be of this length, or close to it, but we have no point of reference.
They could be a baby, they could be a mother, but I'm just going to leave it up to an actual marine biologist, should there be one in this video's comment section

[@wasteddude9387]

@@skypuppeteer [FINAL REVISION] You’re right. Many sources DO specify about six feet for the female length, but that doesn’t include the detachable “blanket” which can be huge. The animal in the subject video IS a Blanket Octopus with no blanket. First is a link to the video I recalled seeing: ua-cam.com/video/IJwGpZ38JHE/v-deo.htmlsi=JZaX9G3xgeIJq8iH.
Next is a giant detached blanket: ua-cam.com/video/GWL-SrdGckM/v-deo.htmlsi=WHsyT3waGlpR7OIg
So here’s an update to the previous “So here’s the deal”. Necessary because all of the Deepstaria Enigmatica Jellyfish information was wrong by virtue of the fact that it was based on a wiki reference that began as follows:
“The Deepstaria enigmatica has a wide, thin bell (up to 60 cm or 2 ft),[1] transparent in appearance, which undulates as the jellyfish moves.”
The issues are that the animal in that video is HUMONGOUSLY bigger than two feet, AND its movement through the water is completely contrary to the specified undulating motion of a jellyfish.
[The following content below is superseded by the content above.]
So here’s the deal. Not only did I do the homework for what I said (then and now) but you’re the one who came at me now, without doing your homework. I hate people who confront others without doing their homework. It means somebody always has to do all the homework. Even though most conversations involve more than just me. Back then, nobody guessed Deepstaria Enigmatica. The consensus was Blanket Octopus. Since then, the Deepstaria took center stage. So when I originally wrote the stuff you didn’t approve of, everybody thought it was the right information. Then you get in my face without doing any research, and you happened to have a point now, some years later. So yes, now it turns out that video I based my original comments on, was about a jellyfish. And the current information is that this video is about the adult female Blanket Octopus. We know that because the sheet on the octopus is a very unique feature on a rare animal. PLUS the doctor’s long shadow falls right by the octopus. We know his shadow is long because a noontime shadow would be short. The octopus swims right past that shadow and the doc is probably around six feet tall give or take. And I’m doing all this extra work just to be honest and because you only want to invest time and effort if it’s not much, but you got no problem investing your foot in my door. Do me a favor. Stay on your side of the fence unless you’re prepared to do your part of the work.

Looks like the thing in an old cryptkeeper movie when the couples were stuck in the wood raft in the middle of the lake

[@maribelayon3297]

That’s an alien. Animals in the ocean like “what is he talking about??”

[@Katinahat293]

Rest in peace beautiful

[@kareno8873]

What a nice ending. It always breaks my heart when I think of the mama octopus dying.

[@wasteddude9387]

Oh God get a grip. This octopus is a newborn. So you'll have to wait a while to romanticize it's death. You morbid ghoul.

[@pylotheric9777]

idk what i was gonna comment

[@wasteddude9387]

@pylotheric9777 No worries. I do know what you were going to comment, and in the end, you did the right thing.

[@nahaniyes]

I love the way he sounds at the end "and is wandering off to die"... 😶

[@christinehelms6782]

"Nice".. she's like I've contributed my part...I'm gonna go DIE NOW!... Poor girl.

[@RowanoftheGreenwood]

Absolutely stunning creature. The wonders of our world never cease to amaze! ❤️

[@Vaggie2014]

She is so beautiful, imagine someone taking inspiration from this ,and making a kite that glades though the air . I know I would if I was a kite maker.

[@brain189]

You are now,get to work

[@Emerica.]

Good idea

[@XOChristianaNicole]

It ain’t difficult to make a kite. I bet you could be the one to do it!

[@sonofGod44]

Thast would be pretty cool. I bet they get ideas from things like the jellyfish.

[@judykean9454]

She's beautiful! 🐙

[@brycep7093]

What a surreale experience that would be, imagine finding an invisible barrier that you couldn’t walk past, just randomly. That’s a similar experience to what this octopus is having.

[@L3giT_Hax]

The life cycle of these beautiful animals is one of the saddest and they deserve to live so much longer

[@Sarah-ic4yu]

Agreed! It makes my heart hurt that they have to die so quickly. They’re such an intelligent and curious species

[@clicheguevara5282]

@@Sarah-ic4yu IKR!?!? I’ve never understood how/why such an _insanely_ smart animal has such a ridiculously short lifespan.
Most highly intelligent species have lifespans that are multiple decades long. ..or *at least* 10-15 years.

[@Sarah-ic4yu]

@@clicheguevara5282 yes, I’ve never thought of that before but you’re so right! I guess most highly intelligent animals are able to avoid being eaten for longer too, it’s a shame that the octopus lifespan and biology just cuts it short anyways. Just imagine how much more they could learn and we could learn from them if they had more time.

[@jodiemeeks2988]

That’s so beautifully said❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@vygalnix7769]

If they lived longer than their two years to eight years octopus would rule the world.

[@Rest65432]

I love her colors. Very impressive.

[@SodiePopples99]

Oh my gosh she is so pretty-

[@caty2956]

She said , Let me see the world that Ariel keeps singing about before I die.

[@L3thalBones]

That kinda sounds peaceful. Completing your one goal in life then spending the rest of your days wandering and exploring.

[@saga2964]

Well that's certainly a rose-colored glasses way to look at it...

[@IEchuckie]

That's usually what a male does. Normal

[@Wepawnet]

@@saga2964 remember, in some idiomatic variants, the gIasses aren't rose coIored, they're rose *tinted*
you see everything, but you're putting it in a better Iight due to how you remember it

[@vaishnavi-rr4jc]

She looks like a mythical creature ✨

[@jessicacrespin9452]

I always cryed as a child watching a documentary of how the mother octopus dies after they hatch

[@GlitzyWitch]

She is BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤❤

[@scharlenebivens5352]

A beautiful creature.

[@DarthVader-lh4zp]

So she's the reason for all those tales about sirens.

[@Sublime_37]

“And is wandering off to die,” he said casually lol.

[@williamaguilar5519]

My god, she’s beautiful who says octopuses look ugly cause I don’t

[@figgynewton3138]

Right, I've never seen one before, she's absolutely beautiful 🖤🤗

A whole new meaning to “I see the light” before death.
