00:00For most octopus moms, brooding eggs is the last thing she'll ever do. As her eggs get close to
00:13hatching, an octopus mother will self-destruct. She stops eating. She may tear at her own skin,
00:19bang her body against rocks, or even eat her own arms. Now researchers know why. When an octopus
00:27mom lays eggs, a set of glands near her eyes called the optic glands start amping up their
00:32production of certain components of cholesterol. These molecules seem to act as signals that kick
00:38off a fetal frenzy. The findings could help explain why an intelligent creature like the
00:46octopus lives for merely a year.
00:57So, first of all, I'm gonna do something for you to just want to find something
01:01that is in a human life.
01:02And so, how long do you get an egg?
01:03I'm gonna leave you at the end of a piece of the sand in a little bit.
01:05And so, it's a cool thing I'd love to do.
01:06I'm gonna forget to subscribe to my channel for another episode.
01:08I'm gonna do something you would like to keep me being able to,
01:10keep me wrong, keep me moving like, keep meìš´, please.
01:13So, I'm gonna wait to see you next time.
01:15I can help you get a little bit wrong.
01:17I'll see you next time.
01:21I'll see you next time.
01:22I'll see you next time.
