Some animals are known to die shortly after giving birth. Here are a few examples:
-
Octopus: Some octopus species, especially the mother octopus, invest heavily in protecting their eggs. They stop eating and focus solely on guarding them, ultimately dying after the eggs hatch due to starvation and exhaustion.
-
Scorpions: In some scorpion species, the mother may die after giving birth. This can occur due to the physical strain of the birthing process or a self-sacrificing act where the mother allows her young to consume her body as their first meal.
It's important to note that the phenomenon of dying after giving birth is not widespread across all species within these animal groups, but it's documented in specific cases.
