Octopuses are known for their very long tentacles -- and you know what means. Cannibalism.
A scheduled mating session for a pair of cephalopods at the Seattle Aquarium was canceled after museum biologists raised concerns about the size of one of the creatures involved.
The octopus, known as Kong (HELLO, KONG), was supposed to mate with a female octopus at a museum show that takes place every Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, there were no female octopuses large enough for Kong. At 70 pounds, museum officials were concerned that Kong might take things a little far and eat his female companion.
The female octopus available was just half Kong's size. Still, abstinence might be the best choice for the creatures anyway. Soon after mating, many octopuses die.
