Two Octopus mating (not what you think)

Octopus are unusual animals in that they live to mate one time. Both males and females will bred only once in their life and both of these individuals will die from this event. The female will starve to death protecting her 10s of thousands of eggs and the male will also starve to death several months later. Not what you would have expected from one of the most intelligent animals on earth. These animals (octopi) are a lot smarter than dogs or cats.
