you like to know the plan rather than be spontaneous

Octopus are very planned and definitely not spontaneous, especially when it comes to their young. An octopus mother plans the spot where she will rear her eggs and then stays with them protecting them and continuously moving water over them to make sure they have enough oxygen. In shallow water species this process lasts 1-3 months. It was recently discovered and recorded a deep water species which mothered her eggs for over 4 years!
