New York, Feb 13 (IBNS): Netizens are enjoying watching another miracle of nature in a video posted on the official Facebook page of the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center.

In the video, an octopus hatching from its egg could be spotted.

The video has left several Facebook users amazed.

The video was posted on Feb 7.

It has already been viewed  2.5 million times.

The post shared along with the video read: "Here’s your daily squee! Our octopus laid eggs and we had several hatch!

While we are cautiously optimistic, it is common for octopuses to lay over one hundred eggs in its clutch to ensure at least one makes it to adulthood. Thankfully, these little critters are going to receive the best possible chance from our incredible animal care team."

A  baby octopus could be seen in the video hatching from its egg and swimming off.
