@rootxxdeep: She guarded her eggs for 4.5 years - and never ate once. In 2007, a robot found a single octopus a mile beneath the Pacific, wrapped around her eggs. Scientists returned 18 times over 53 months and every time, she was still there. She never left. She never ate. She starved herself on purpose, pushing clean water over her eggs so her babies could breathe, while her body slowly consumed itself: purple skin fading to grey, then white; eyes turning cloudy. It's the longest any mother on Earth has ever guarded her young. When they came back one last time, only empty shells remained. She never saw a single face.
