Scientists Discover World’s Largest Underwater Garden Home to 20,000 Octopuses
Scientists are baffled by the number of octopuses gathered at an underwater garden off the coast of California. This octopus garden is a major breeding ground where octopuses collect shiny objects, stones, shells, and discarded human items on the ocean floor to craft their dens. First spotted in 2018 and studied extensively by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), it is the largest known deep-sea octopus congregation on Earth.
