When a den has been chosen, the mother octopus will expel each egg, one by one, then ,using her suckers, braid them together into long chains of eggs she attaches to the roof of her den Neat Fact: Each strand is called a festoon!The whole process involves birthing and braiding around 50,000- 100,000 eggs & it takes her perhaps as much as a month. They can contain up to 100 embryos!Įach egg is created in the ovary and then coated with a nutrient-rich yolk for it to develop in – the translucent, rubbery white sac that is visible to us! Some octopuses lay hundreds of thousands of eggs at a time, while others will only produce one egg capsule at a time. 🛑Reminder: ALL octopuses are venomous- but only 2 contain the lethal TTX (the blue ringed octopus and the Mototi Octopus)💀 Relative to other venoms, by weight tetrodotoxin (TTX) is 10 to 100 times as lethal as black widow 🕷 venom and more than 10,000 times deadlier than cyanide! A tiny bite could result in complete paralysis, blindness, loss of senses, nausea, and result in death within minutes. - if ya made it through this whole caption comment 🤓😍🐙 - and thank you!!!! 🎥 Footage thanks to Onebreathdiver / Jules CaseyPosted by Octonation – The Largest Octopus Fan Club on Thursday, JanuBlue Ringed Octopus “Brood Basket” By: Jules Casey How Many Eggs Does An Octopus Lay?
☠️Where are my Blue Ring fans?🖤💙 The female blue-ringed octopus carries its 50-100 eggs, called it’s “clutch”, around for two months in a brood “basket” formed by her arms & web until they hatch, never eating, and dies shortly afterwards 🔍 The baby blue ring’s hatch smaller than a pea and walk around on the sea floor hunting within a day! Sometimes eating each other (so thank your brother or sister for not eating you 😅) 🥚 🔄🐙 What’s incredible is that the hatchlings will reach sexual maturity in just four months- which suggests that this species generational time could be as short as 6 months.
