The video of the octopus escapes the egg bag causing fever in the online community

Videos posted by the Oceanic Science and Oceanography Center in Virginia quickly became the focus of the online community.

According to Washingtonpost, more than 600,000 people "rushed" to watch videos of the baby octopus of the Caribean breed born on the Twitter page of the Virginia Ocean Science and Oceanography Center.

Julie Levans, a senior expert on fish and at the center, said there were about 15-20 newly hatched octopuses in the past few days.

Octopus eggs are about to hatch.

Matthew Klepeisz, communications director of Virginia Center for Oceanography and Science, said: "A part of the center's mission is to educate and educate people about marine conservation. By sharing these The amazing thing that few people have the opportunity to admire in nature, we hope people raise their interest in nature conservation ".

A lot of comments expressed interest, surprised when watching the video. They think the baby octopus is cute. However, many people still question the reason for octopus's color change.

When escaping from the egg bag, the octopus suddenly changes from translucent white to normal brown.

Matthew Klepeisz said that octopus from white to brown may be due to the stress during labor that causes them to secrete cells containing platinum or may be related to natural instincts to disguise protection. .

He said: "It was a great moment. We decided to share them with the masses."

Although not much hope for all the octopus born can survive, but the center staff insists on trying to take care of and improve their lifespan.
