He'e Makoko Hawaiian Octopuses Are Like Five-0's He Waha Kou O Ka He'e

Summary: He'e makoko octopuses approach their metaphorical scariness of Hawaii Five-0's He Waha Kou O Ka He'e Feb. 7, 2020, only defensively and nocturnally.

He'e makoko Hawaiian octopuses accomplish for species sustainability what Hawaii Five-0 action police procedural television series episode He Waha Kou O Ka He'e Feb. 7, 2020, alludes to as self-promoting, treacherous self-aggrandizement.

Tenth-season 15th-episode director Ian Anthony Dale and writers Chi McBride and Matt Wheeler bare as English-equivalent 'ōlelo ao (proverb) Yours is the mouth of an octopus. The series' 233rd episode overall concentrates upon undersided mouths whose parrot-like beaks and salivary glands configure prey captured by sucker-studded arms into paralyzed, softened, swallow-sized meat. The locally designated he'e makoko (red), he'e puloa (night) white-striped octopus only devours cowrie snails, crabs, lobsters, other octopuses and shrimp deemed necessary for species sustainability.

Big, dark, sharp-eyed, brown-red-bodied, sensory-savvy he'e makoko Hawaiian octopuses elude each other and enemies by surface-celled chromatophores (from χρῶμα, "color" and -φόρος, "bearing") and ink-clouded emissions.

Male he'e makoko Hawaiian octopuses finish their life cycles after fitting spermatophores (from Greek σπέρμα, "sperm" and φόρος, "bearing") into mantle cavities of female he'e makoko.

He'e makoko Hawaiian octopuses, grouped scientifically as Callistoctopus ornatus (from Greek Καλλιστώ, "beautiful [nymph]," ὀκτώ, "eight" and πους, "foot" and Latin ōrnātus, "adorned") generate once-only broods. No broken-shell prey leftovers heap outside hoardless homes of starving mothers-to-be heading into death after hanging and hastening oxygenated, six-week hatching of 32,000 0.079-inch (2-millimeter) eggs. Hatched planktonic (from Greek πλαγκτός, "drifter") stages itinerate by ocean currents until physically and sexually mature stages as gravel-bottom, sand-bottom predators of crustacean and mollusc prey.

The 'ōlelo ao Pua ke kō, kui ma ke he'e (When the sugarcane flowers, the octopus appears) judges November as peak month for high-profile octopus journeys.

He'e makoko Hawaiian octopuses, known scientifically since Augustus Gould (April 23, 1805-Sept. 15, 1866), keep five, lengthwise, white-striped mantles and white-spotted arms six times body length.

He'e makoko Hawaiian octopuses lodge 1.5-inch (3.81-centimeter) sac-mouth and 2.5-inch (6.35-centimeter) back-umbrella breadths on bodies one-twelfth longer than broad, one-third longer and twice broader than heads. They manifest 2-inch (5.08-centimeter) above-mouth and 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) below-mouth breadths; 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) neck breadths; 1.75-inch (4.44-centimeter) sac breadths; and 3-inch (7.62-centimeter) breadths umbrella side to side. They net 20-inch (50.8-centimeter-), 24-inch (60.96-centimeter-), 20-inch (50.8-centimeter-) and 21-inch (53.34-centimeter-) long first, second, third and fourth paired, white-spotted arms with rows of double, sensory-receptor suckers.

He'e makoko Hawaiian octopuses observe 6.61 to 8.82-pound (3 to 4-kilogram) mature maximum body weights and 4.72 to 5.12-inch (12 to 13-centimeter) mature maximum mantle lengths.

He'e makoko Hawaiian octopuses daily put together as day-sealed doors to their coral-reef, deep-hole, small-entry dens coral-reef rubble that they pull apart nightly for foraging forays.

He'e makoko Hawaiian octopuses queue up in the uppermost 32.81 feet (10 meters) of offshore, shallow subtropical and tropical waters for night-time forages from coral reefs. They range through shallower waters along the 68-degree Fahrenheit (20-degree Celsius) isotherm, where Maui and O'ahu populations rendered several specimens for the Gould taxonomy in 1852. They survive in IndoPacific Ocean waters from Hawaii through Easter Island; off Durban, South Africa; and from northern New South Wales, Australia, through Perth, West Australia.

He'e makoko Hawaiian octopuses, unlike symbolic counterparts that threaten Hawaii Five-0 Task Force tactics, take only prey that turn habitat niches into stable, sustainable food chains.
