The Schmidt Ocean Institute: A New Discovery of a Deep Sea Octopus

The former CEO of Google Eric Schmidt and his wife Wendy are funded a bunch of research. They announced the discovery in July 2023 of a giant breeding group of a deep sea octopus species called mus octopus near Costa Rica. Each successive generation would leave behind burrows or piles of shells and then the next generation would use those to build their own homes and burrows. It's vaguely social vaguely urban in a way we didn't think octopus did I mean it's interesting because when you look at social species of terrestrial animals a lot of time it is limited resources that draws them together.
