I was told that an Octopus has 3 hearts, this seemed interesting. As I started to ponder Octopus I wonderd how they breed, are they egg laying or fry or what?
Also I can find very little information on them, does anyone know more?
There you go...
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
How do octopuses reproduce?
The male has a modified arm called a hectocotylus that he stretches out to the female and inserts into her mantle cavity. The arm transfers spermatophores from a storage sac into her mantle cavity near the oviduct where the eggs are fertilized. Shortly after the eggs hatch, the female dies.
So in brief they have 7 arms/legs and one todger that has uther uses.
Just smutty I know but honestly it's fasinating stuff
