Researchers believe the shorter brooding period near warm hydrothermal vents increases a hatchling octopus’ odds for survival.
Deep-sea octopuses are typically solitary creatures that inhabit frigid waters in one of Earth’s most challenging environments. The 2018 discovery of thousands of the eight-legged cephalopods about 2 miles below the ocean’s surface flummoxed and fascinated marine scientists in equal measure.
The remotely operated submersible also left a time-lapse camera and sensors to measure temperature and oxygen levels for long-term observations of the octopuses’ behavior. The camera recorded an image every 20 minutes, taking about 12,200 images from March 2022 to August 2022. Faster brood times in the octopus garden With this information, scientists pieced together why the octopus are attracted to the site.

Researchers find 20,000-year-old refugium for orcas in the northern PacificThe northern Pacific near Japan and Russia is home for several different groups of orcas. They have no contact with each other, do not seek the same food, do not speak the same dialect, and do not mate with each other. How can this be when they live so close to each other and belong to the same species?
