Apparently, octopus' love lives are more complicated than we thought. They flirt, hold hands, get jealous.
Male octopuses guard the den of their mates to ward off rivals, and strangle them if they get to close.
Small males sneak in the dens by swimming low and pretending to be female.
Size matters, males go for the biggest females because they produce the most eggs.
Drama! I thought people love was hard, imagine being strangled when you try to pick up someone else's lady. "Whatcha man got to do with me," won't cut it, I would run away lest I get strangled.

It is relaxing to think about something other than politic of the moment!
I used to love science, reading and music and can't wait to get back to the point when I enjoy them again. - 4 years ago
