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.
