Exotic octopus species detachable ... penis

The Argonaut octopus instead of mating directly with each other, the male simply cuts off the "arm" that contains sperm and lets it swim to fertilize the female egg.

The octopus has the most bizarre penis in the ocean

The Argonaut octopus , a mollusk that lives in a shell made by itself, is the only marine species to swim through jet thrust. They use a healthy nozzle to spray water through a funnel in the thrust shell.

Male octopus is usually a few centimeters long, only about 10% of the size of the female. Because of the size difference between these two sexes so much, this marine creature has posed a conundrum for scientists: How can they reproduce when the male is only a small part? compared to the size of the female?

According to Iflscience, scientists have found an extremely interesting explanation of the mating of this species. Although researchers have never observed male octopus individuals living in the wild, they have gained knowledge about their reproduction through a dead male card and a female individual. alive.

Male individuals will develop a mutable tentacle in a small holster under the eyes. At the appropriate time, they would burst out of the cavity and swim through the female, attached to its shell with a straw and they would move in their own way inside.

To make it easier to understand, instead of mating directly with each other, the male simply cuts off the " arm" that contains the sperm and lets it swim to fertilize the female egg. This is the species with the most bizarre penis. The Argonaut octopus will separate the penis so it can swim to find the female genitals .

Males will die immediately after throwing their tentacles into female females. This is an unusual phenomenon in mollusks , the females will not die and continue to grow and reproduce.
