Description

Parenthood doesn’t sound joyful for an octopus: Mother octopuses don’t eat while taking care of her eggs, and neither male nor female octopuses live long after they have babies. Still, this fascinating life cycle gives readers a look at one of the many ways animals reproduce and thrive—strange as it may seem.
