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

Have you ever seen octopuses mating? Did you know that one of the arms is a sex organ!? 🐙 Octopuses mate using a specialized arm called the hectocotylus, which transfers sperm packets into the female. Here you can see the male reaching out with that specialized arm - which it inserts into the female’s mantle cavity, where it transfers sperm packets via a groove in the arm. I set the camera down and observed from a distance - no pulling the octopus out of the reef or throwing them into the water
