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.

The male typically dies a few months afterward, while the female dies shortly after her eggs hatch. 🐙🌊 #octopus #love #underwaterphotography #tentacles #m
