Best Answer

Female Octopuses lay approximately 100 000 eggs and tends to them for six months. During that time the female octopuses don't leave their den, Not once, so she doesn't hunt for food which holds vital energy for her survival. This sacrifice I think makes female octopuses one of the most devoted mothers in nature.
