Timelapse North Pacific Starfish V octopus.Octopus defends eggs.
Video Overview & Insights
During the months of August and September local Melbourne Pale Octopus (Octopus pallidus)lay their eggs and then stay with them until they hatch. They will often use bottles and other man made rubbish to lay their eggs in or underneath. Here one is found in the shallows in a trap made by a fisherman: giving us a chance to time-lapse her dedication to defend her eggs from predators. She will give her life to make sure her babies survive predation. Back ground music ,sourced from U tube free music. 2 songs #1 'West Bad' and #2 'Watch your back'.Both by Jeremy Black
octopus mothers don't eat at all until their eggs have hatched. once they do hatch, they're too weak to do anything and die. even if they don't mate it only saves them about a few weeks or months, as most octopuses live 1-2 years, with the giant pacific octopus making it up to 5.
on top of that, the larger female tends to eat the male after mating.

@EmprezeBriI’ve never seen a star fish move this much
@EmprezeBri1:07 Why is Patrick just circleing there?
@AceWaters-s3yStarfish: I know you have snacks.
@robertgrays8790You want to know what’s sad is this mamma octopus will do whatever it takes to defend her eggs and that includes not eating so she can be home defending her eggs. Because of that she will die from starvation to protect her babies and octopuses are very very smart animals. There are channels here on YouTube where people have created a maze with areas of the maze with some type of puzzle for them to complete so they can move to the next obstacle which could be moving something blocking an entrance to another part of the tank or unscrewing a lid to move on. One guy did this and at the very end of the maze the octopus as treated to a feast of all you can eat shrimp buffet. He did this because he got the octopus as a pet but he wanted to release the octopus but was afraid to do so since he or she had been in captivity. When he saw the octopus win against the maze he kept his promise and released the octopus into their natural habitat!

@julioxstaticv3782Starfish shaking down the locals
@kal-el5535Wow. That octopus mother has like no pause at all… do they ever leave the hatching place? Do they eat? How long does it take until the babies hatch?
@lilirutkai8654Patrick, go away!
@willpoundstone71What is that white thing the mom is using to store her eggs?
@jonnyjonny2467Patrick and squidward
@Uttvm6723I now understand why the mother have to guard her eggs! Didn't know that starfish eats them! Those other little fish too. Poor mother too stressed bet she's dead now. Well she'll die eventually after hatching but have you tried feeding mother octopus while guarding her eggs? Will she eat tho? No? Even if she eat, will she live or still die?
