 | | However, reproduction is a cause of death: males can only live for a few months after mating, and females die shortly after their eggs hatch, for they neglect to eat during the (roughly) one month period spent taking care of their unhatched eggs. |
 | | Some octopuses, such as the mimic octopus, will move their arms in ways that emulate the movements of other sea creatures. |
 | | Octopi derives from the mistaken notion that octopus is a second declension Latin noun, which it is not. |
