    In order to uncover this secret, scientists conducted comparative studies on different kinds of octopuses and conducted a large number of anatomical experiments. It turned out that the mystery was on a pair of glands behind the octopus' eye socket. The glands will secrete a chemical substance at a certain time, causing the octopus to die. Biologists call this chemical "death hormone".
