The dumbo octopus, belonging to the genus Grimpoteuthis, has a fascinating life cycle that begins with the female laying thousands of eggs in deep ocean waters. After fertilization, the eggs are attached to a substrate and can take several months to hatch, depending on the environmental conditions. Once hatched, the juvenile dumbo octopuses are planktonic and drift in the ocean before settling to the sea floor as they mature. As they grow, they develop their characteristic ear-like fins and adapt to their deep-sea habitat.
