This octopus was a Graneledone boreopacifica known for living in deep, cold water, requiring longer brooding periods than average.
Mother octopuses must seal the eggs in fresh oxygenated water with her body. When born, they are fully able to hunt and are much larger than any other hatchling species of octopus or squid.
