🐙 We often get asked if we’re trying to ‘save the octopus.’ Our reply? The octopus doesn’t need saving—we do. Octopuses have stood the test of time. Human civilizations? Well… 😅

Imagine life 30 football fields deep in total darkness! At 2,650+ meters, Vulcanoctopus thrive near hydrothermal vents, where water superheats above 100°C under crushing pressure. 🥵 They hide in tubeworm colonies or cracks, calling the rocky, alien-like seabed home sweet home! 🐙✨
