An octopus is a mollusk that lives in the ocean. The size of octopus is not certain, because octopus itself has many species, and there are about 600 species of octopus distributed all over the world. Although these different species belong to the octopus category, but specifically the difference between them is still relatively large, such as body size, the difference between them is relatively large.
There are some species of octopus whose size itself is not very certain. For example, "arboreal octopus" species, there will be smaller individuals, their adult body length is only 5 centimeters; Of course, there will be slightly larger individuals, but generally not very large. Some species of octopus can be very large, such as "Pacific octopus", once a record of a very large Pacific octopus, their tentacles in full extension, its radius can reach 7.8 meters; Their weight is also very heavy, reaching more than 50 kilograms. Thus, how long an octopus can grow is affected by genes.
As mentioned above, there are many different species of octopus, and the reproductive characteristics of different species of octopus are not quite the same. Generally speaking, when they are adults, they can reproduce. When octopuses reach the right age, they will breed in the right breeding season. Generally speaking, their breeding season is in spring and autumn, that is, when the water temperature is moderate. Some researchers have studied the reproductive process of octopuses and found that some octopuses may only reproduce once in their lifetime, and then they will die.
