Is It Eating Its Own Fat?
The beaks of an octopus are usually capable of devouring these organisms in a matter of seconds if they are present. According to a submersible, crabs and shrimps were spotted swimming around the creature. The Octopus fought hard to protect its most valued belongings with its small size. However, the vehicle continued to show no traces of involvement in the accident despite this. Alternatively, it was willing to die for the sake of protecting these unusual artifacts.
In other words, this Octopus was starving itself to protect these items. Given that this octopod had been without food for an estimated 38 days, the lack of interest in surrounding food was unusual. After that, researchers had a better idea of what they were dealing with.
