For zoologist Mark Elgar of the University of Melbourne, Australia, an expert on invertebrate mating behaviour, the actions of the female octopuses make sense, given their eight-pronged anatomy. âThe specific method by which the female octopus captures and kills her mate â constricting him with her many legs â is novel, but only because this can be done only by an octopus,â says Elgar. Huffard agrees. Octopuses are a type of mollusc known as a cephalopod, a group that also includes squid.
