Michelle York+FollowThousands of octopuses found nesting off CaliforniaImagine diving deep off the California coast and stumbling upon a shimmering underwater nursery packed with thousands of octopus moms. That’s exactly what researchers discovered at the Davidson Seamount—over 6,000 octopuses gathered in what’s now called the “Octopus Garden.” The real surprise? The warmth from volcanic vents helps these octopus mothers hatch their eggs in less than two years, instead of the usual five to eight. This natural wonder is not just a spectacle—it’s a reminder of how much we still have to learn about our oceans. What do you think this means for ocean conservation? #Science #CaliforniaCoast #OctopusGarden20Share
