💡 Trivia Some octopus species lay 56,000 eggs at a time

[Beatriz9]

On average, a giant Pacific octopus will lay 56,000 eggs at the end of a *******cy, over the course of about a month. At first, these new babies float through the surrounding water unattached to one another or their mother.

But then the mother gathers each egg—which is about the size of a grain of rice—and weaves them into braids, allowing her to keep an eye on everyone at the same time.
