Great video. Thanks for posting.

The males die too, shortly after mating ... the species is only designed to live about five years ...

Now I'm even more glad that I am not an octo!!

Not all octo species or individuals within a species die after mating based on what I remember from what I've read. Some will survive into another breeding season, at least down here. Of course ours are not GPOs.
