Hi my-blogmedia readers, how are you. Miss your Mom, haha?. Continuing the previous posts, here is animal that have a good mom behaviour on number 2. Enjoy.2. Octopus
When it comes to having babies, the female octopus doesn't mess around -- she lays more than 50,000 eggs, and that's without any fertility drugs! It takes around 40 days for the eggs to develop before hatching, and the mom stays close to them the entire time, protecting them from predators while gently blowing currents of water over them to provide oxygen.
But playing bodyguard to the eggs also prohibits her from hunting for herself, so what's a mom to do? Well let's see -- with eight arms, surely that's more than any octopus really needs, so what's the harm in eating one? Pass the salt and pepper, please.
