The female octopus, Hillary, caught the male, let’s call him Bill, depositing his tentacle in another lady octopus.

Considering that female octopuses die shortly after their eggs hatch, there is an incentive to be very picky about choosing the father of one’s children.

They've been around a lot longer than man, they have 4X as many limbs, and yet they have no underwater cities or transportation devices.
But we better stop eating them cuz they can throw shells at each other.
Are there underwater equivalents to crickets that we should eat instead?

Apparently he wasn’t her type.
