But these days live a quieter life – albeit, it is rained by the desires of farewell and love from the beloved fans.

The ghost dies. The octopus is in its last stage of her life, known as aging, which sponsors the eggs that she laid last week. The average age of this octopus is about three to five years.

“We have removed her from her habitats,” said Nate Garros, Vice President of Animal Care at Aquarium. As it happens Host Nil Köksal. “I have gone to a special contract area behind her exhibition, where she gets more peace and calm for this stage of her life.”

Garros says that most of the octopus live only between a month and three months after the start of that stage.

“The octopus reproduce only once,” said Garros. (Female) spend the rest of their lives, care for eggs and ensure that they have the best opportunity for poverty and the best opportunity to survive. ”

During this period, octopus may neglect their basic needs, such as eating, in favor of protecting their eggs and ventilating them to fight bacteria or other harmful factors. But Garros says that the octopus does not provide any mother’s care after hating.

“He is very wild. They have up to 100,000 eggs, which is incredible,” he said. “Only about one percent or less of these furnishings will already survive.”

However, Ghost’s eggs are not manufactured, and will never hatch.

In the waters of British Columbia, where there is a ghost, the octopus of the giant Pacific Ocean lives alone and only collects in reproduction. Garros says male and female octopus do not coexist naturally; They do not go.

“They are at risk of aggression or even death,” he said.

Despite its solitary inclinations, Ghost is not without friends – at least of the type of mammals. When I arrived in the aquarium in May 2024, Seifalbod with a third of the then took a third and quickly arrested the hearts of its “brave” treatments, “issued”, says Garros.
