## Caption

Fitzgerald the octopus has begun laying eggs and hunkering in her nest, which she will do until her last days.

She’s named after the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, a Great Lakes freighter that sank in 1975. The greatlakesaquarium expects to care for Fitz for another six months to a year as she completes her lifecycle.
