Description:
An octopus enters a narrow crevice near the coast, its eye in sharp focus. It hunts and eats a crab. Spring brings mating season. A male octopus mounts a female, inserting a specialized arm into her body. Another mating pair is observed, this time with the larger female taking the lead. The process repeats for hours and days. Afterward, the female releases long strings of eggs, attaching them to the underside of a sheltered surface. She diligently guards her eggs for a month, waving water to keep them oxygenated and clean.
