If You're Going to Mate Only Once, Better Make it Count


That seems to be the view of octopuses, whether large or small, not matter what species, according to this Berkeley Study.

Give this story a good read, and watch the videos with it. Octopi intrigue, from strangling rivals, to pretending to be females, to holding hands and long embraces.

Next time I find one in a Coke bottle or under a rock, as I did last summer on Des Moines beach, I'm going to look at this amazing creature with new respect.
