They are majestic, smart and caring and cunning creatures. They’re my favorite animal in the animal kingdom. I’ll never forget the clip I saw of David Attenborough narrating how a female octopus holed up in a save cavern rarely sleeping and slowly dying to ensure that her young were birthed safely only to die as they were born. It was so sad yet so humbling. I also love hearing about times when they escape from aquariums or fishers’ ships. Also isn’t the plural Octopi not as it is in the title? |

Octopuses is the standard English pluralization, while Octopi and Octopodes are acceptable variants.
