Maybe Bean can help us-- i think--as recall-- the differences between arms and tenticles has some thing to do ith use-- a male (both octopus and squid) have at least one specialize tenticle-- with which they pass a sperm sack to the the female so that she can fertilize her eggs-- cuttle fish/squid have two tenticles for holding onto each other (male/ female) bonding and passing the sperm packet. for a creature with 8 or more arms, the whole thing seems so polite, and un touchy! and again, as i recall, female squids are a bit less receptive than octopus-- so squids tend to hold on, while transfer is going on... or maybe Jazz knows.. he's safe enough..

it impressive that i know so much about mating habit of animals.. i don't even like them that much-- not that i dislike..


my other obsession
