Didn’t know this about octopus

The male dies soon after mating, but the female has to live on to lay the eggs, which aren't ready immediately. Death comes because the octopus has used up all of his body's energy in growing, then in mating


Damn the bad luck

One deep dwelling octopus was observed guarding her eggs for 4 and a half years. Which is amazing since most species of Octopus only live 1 or 2 years.

Same thing happens to male humans after marriage.

If yall are ever in Savannah, get the Char-Grilled octopus at Vic's On The River. It's absolutely delicious. They don't make an entree out of it, unfortunately, but as an appetizer on the lunch menu, combined with a sensible salad, and a couple hundred calories of a good beer, it's the perfect lunch.

They discovered a six legged octopus a few years ago. Not a squid, a previously undiscovered octopus. Since octopus literally means eight legs, and that is the most known differentiator between it and a squid, it's kind of a problem
