TIL Marine biologists are claiming there is a rare instance of non-human warfare happening between octopuses in the waters off the coast of Australia. The octopuses are fighting in large groups over territory and even using projectiles such as seashells to spit at enemies.

Octopi are intense

I prefer octopedes

“Animals don’t go to war because they’re cinnamon rolls unlike ebil humans uwu” Check-fucking-mate Linda, cephalopods are having trench warfare in the ocean.

They’re literally in the shell age

So…they’re shelling each other? 

*takes a long drag on a shitty cigarette* war is shell

Why isn’t anyone even bothering to mention the countless wounded soldiers of this cephalopod war? Many come back missing tentacles and eyes! Some even return home with a bad case of…shellshock

Blanket Octopus Spotted in The Gulf of Mexico

This creature of the see is pretty rad. It is immune to the stings of the Man O’ War jellyfish and actually rips off the jelly fish’s tentacles and uses them as a whip. The males have a specially modified third right arm which stores sperm, known as a hectocotylus. During mating, the male octopus will detach his arm place into the mantle of the female to fertilize her eggs. The male dies shortly after mating.
