00:00She hasn't eaten in months. She's not going to start now, even though it's killing her.
00:05For months, she does nothing but protect and oxygenate these eggs, refusing to leave even to hunt,
00:12slowly starving as her body consumes itself.
00:15The moment her last egg hatches, her job is finished, and so is her life.
00:21A mother that gives everything, down to the very last breath.
