Adult Octopus Pallidus

The miracle of life is an amazing thing — and it’s even more amazing when we get an up close look at something actually entering the world.

Octopus & Eggs

This is definitely true of these hundreds of octopuses emerging from their egg cases. In video taken by Pang Quong in Port Phillip Bay in Australia, we get front row seats to an octopus birth.

This particular species, the pale octopus (also known as Octopus pallidus) lays its eggs in small caves. Sometimes it uses submerged litter to its advantage and lays eggs on any hard surface like a small bottle or even a tire.

According to Quong, the female stays with her eggs until they all hatch. Quong visited the octopus mother over the course of three weeks to check on the status of the mother in the making. This video is a result of the final footage.

At the end of the video, you can even see the dozens, possibly hundreds of hatching octopuses and the empty shells that they left behind.

This species can be found in much of the waters off Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania.
