Larger octopods can take 4 1/2 years, yes, years, to hatch. Meanwhile the mother stays with them, not eating. If these take just as long they should have hatched by now, but I did a little googling and couldn't find anything.

Maybe adding try "pressure" to the eggs? Since its a deep sea creature, and the eggs fall to the bottom, maybe depth pressure will trigger some hormone and begin development?? High pressure may be a more suitable environment.

That's an amazingly long time from eggs being laid to being hatched. Thankfully the little guys aren't considered a profitable commercial fish or much like the orange roughy, they'd be nearly extinct in next to no time at all. Luckily, many people end not to enjoy eating such cute little animals so let's hope they will continue to live long and happy lives in the deep dark and cold waters in the depths of the ocean.

The name dumbo octopuses refers to a group of octopus species which share certain characteristics, like the fins above the eyes, the very short arms and the webs that join the arms. They all live in the deep ocean. The little guy featured in this video is one of the species in this group.

What a cutie...they are so tiny. Cool video and very educational.

Always interesting in how scientist (who i have the greatest respect for) always say in order to understand this eco system and make/keep it healthy we need to understand how it works. I say we all need to understand that were polluting all eco systems period. We need to investigate ourselves and come up with a solution for that! Great work though keep it up!
