If you’ve ever asked yourself, "How does an octopus mate?" or "How can you tell a female cephalopod from a male?" then you’ve scrolled upon the right reel! The talented ROV pilots on R/V Falkor (too) captured this spectacular zoom during a recent #ChileMargin24 dive. At around 13 seconds, you can clearly see one of this fellow’s tentacles, and the suckers don’t go all the way to the tip (which is why we’re confident saying he). A female’s suckers extend all the way up all eight arms. Male octopu

How Long Do Octopus Live? Life Expectancy, Mating, and Deep-Sea Survivors

Octopus mating is a fascinating process. Octopuses mate through direct copulation. The male octopus inserts his specialized arm, called a hectocotylus, into the female’s mantle cavity. This arm deposits spermatophores (containing the male’s sperm) into the female’s oviduct. Interestingly, both male and female octopuses die soon after mating. The male typically dies a few months afterward, while the female dies shortly after her eggs hatch. 🐙🌊 #octopus #love #underwaterphotography #tentacles #m

Octopus Mating Sequence Captured by Australian Diver

In a fascinating glimpse into octopus behavior, researchers have documented female gloomy octopuses (Octopus tetricus) engaging in what appears to be deliberate projectile throwing — targeting other octopuses with shells, silt, and algae propelled by jets of water from their siphons. A peer-reviewed 2022 study in PLOS ONE analyzed around 21 hours of underwater footage from Jervis Bay, Australia (2015–2016), revealing dozens of these “throws,” especially during social encounters such as fights, a

some female octopuses exhibit this brutal behavior, especially when they are not interested in mating or are particularly hungry. The male octopus uses a specialized arm called a hectocotylus to transfer spermatophores (sperm packets) to the female. However, if the female is not in the mood or is hungry, she may allow the male to begin mating, then suddenly attack, strangle, and kill him. The female then drags his body back to her den, where she feeds on his remains for several days. This behavi
