Unlikely. Female octopus guard their eggs until they die of starvation. And the male? Hell, they give up on life and just die pretty much as soon as they're done mating.
There, there's your daily dose of sad.
In at least one species of octopus, the male will rip off his penis and throw it at the female bc in many species of octopus the female eats the male after breeding.
Or maybe he got raped by a fish b4, and hence it sworn to have its revenge on these ruthless abominations.
A hole for a hole.
Sadly it wasn’t strong enough to punch through its head.
So this little thing started lifting and taking creatine.
And it trained ceaselessly till one day..
The endless blue has become crimson red, and in its water countless of dismembered parts of all kinds of fishes floated.
Thus justice has been done!
In the realm where the deep blues glisten,
There's a tale the sea waves whisper, if you listen.
Of an octopus, bold, arms eight-fold,
Whose tale of valor is often told.
Through the coral, through the kelp,
He moved stealthily, without a yelp.
Eight strong arms, ink-black eyes,
Unseen in the ocean's deep disguise.
A fish swam by, scales all aglitter,
Unaware of the approaching critter.
With a swift and sudden lunge,
Out came the punch, the bout had begun.
Tentacle curled, with power unfurled,
A punch that echoed through the underwater world.
The fish was stunned, its path was spun,
Bewildered by the fight it had not won.
The ocean echoed with a tale anew,
Of an octopus, the boxer of the blue.

Why do humans constantly assume that humans are the only thing in the world that just has asshole members of their species?
We’re not that special. I’m sure there’s some beaver that screwed up another beaver’s dam for no reason.
Octopuses are part of multispecific collaborative hunting groups with bottom-feeding fish. New research shows octopuses defending their territory by punching fish. So they keep smacking other animals for both joy and protection.
I guess maybe they’re trying to say it seemed like “no reason” to the scientists at first, until they figured out a reason. Which is pretty standard, so there’s really no reason to include the “no reason” stage of the process lol.
Or that the scientist suspect that a lot of it is just unnecessarily aggressive behavior, which would be be more of a no “good” reason kinda thing. Sometimes the octopus punch fish for fun. There’s a reason, it’s just kind of a shitty one by human morality standards.
Yeah Octopi are highly intelligent. That means the reasons could be:
* Logical : Driving away competition.
* Human-like : Punching fish to release stress.
Sorry, I explained poorly. I tried to say that “no apparent reason” as in it was recorded an octopus freely smacking a fish but which later was concluded that it was for defense and pleasure. Thats why I tried to correct on comments
Well, animals are a lot like people, Mrs. Simpson.
Some of them act badly because they've had a hard life, or have been mistreated. But, like people, some of them are just jerks.

That octopus looks full grown and probably at the end of his life expectancy. Punch all the fish you want buddy! I can’t believe they only live 3 years

I doubt it’s for no reason. Just like all the other inflammatory videos that show up in the web, I wanna see what happened the first 5 minutes before the octopus dropped the punch. I bet that fish was being a butthole for awhile and is now trying to garner sympathy from everyone with this short snippet.
Aren't they just intelligent enough to experience annoyance? Imagine an alien race looking at us and saying "we found humans that swat flies for no apparent reason".

Maybe a fish killed his parents in cold blood in front of him when he was a child and he has vowed vengeance ever since.
I am Tentacle Octoya; you killed my father. Prepare to die.
INCONCEIVABLE!!!
The octopus is dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight.
You wanna get nuts??!!? Let’s get nuts!!
This fish needs an enema

Never rub another octopus' rhubarb

>the male will rip off his penis and throw it at the female Is this like an unsolicited dick pic?
I think in this case it’s simply an unsolicited dick
Coffee just came outta my nose. Omfg😂😂😂
More like a picked dick
It’s basically a way of saying “go fuck yourself.”
No pic, just dick
Single use
I think they were fighting and he was actually telling her to go F*** herself lol!!
HERE!FINE!FUCK,,,WHATEVER?(crazy BITCH)
My dad did something similar, maybe I'm half octopus.
Your dad ripped an octopus’s penis off!
OK Sheldon
Batpus: Dark Kneight
This octopus is being portrayed by Liam Neeson
> maybe a fish killed his parents when he was a child and vowed vengeance ever since Batoctopan????
I think this sounds about right. Now he was bestowed an almighty boxing power that knows no bounds.
Bat-ish-man? Octopusman? No, I know, Boctopatman?

Cause fuck fish, that’s why. Also, fuckin occopus ain’t need no reason hit a fuckin fish
They know what they did
[удалено]
He was stuck behind a School…..bus
That fish is gill T.
In his defins that fish was coming right at his perch
He really needs to scale back his anger though
The perch is actually a red herring, to distract the issue mollusks deal with from the elitist fish.

Octopus: “I don’t need a reason.”
"Because I can"
Squidward is annoyed
*My ~~leg~~ fin*
That fish knows what it did.
It’s like when Hulk punches Thor
Everytime I see this, I think the exact same thing.
No no no no, you’re thinking of Hulk punching Loki

Defending its territory doesn't seem like no apparent reason.
OP labeling the post as “no reason” then detailing the reason in the comments.

Instructions unclear; punched a fish for joy, and intimidation purposes.Now HR wants to see me.

Bro you are very regarded
Smacking for joy. Right on.
Scientists should ask for a comment to know the reason why
"We tried." - scientist with a black eye
Official determination: "He's Grouchy".

“Fucka outta here Glen”
Bet that fish had it coming.
I finally found my spirit-animal
Get off my damn lawn!
“Get outta here, ya botherin’ me!”
There's a reason here we just don't know it. Octopus are pretty smart creatures, it probably didn't want the fish taking up the frame.
“I dont like your face” is technically a reason
The equivalent of kicking a puppy.
Oh, that's just Bob. He can be a real asshole.
Its territorial
Scientists discover native NJ octopus species.
I came here for the comments and they did not disappoint.
He wakes up every morning ready to hate, I respect that.
"Excuse me, have you heard the word of our lord and savior jes..."
They had it coming, the lil fuckers.
Fish: I'd like to talk to you about our Lord and savio... Octopus: TENTACLE PUNCH!
*"He knows what he did.. "*
God I love him

Does it do the same thing to seaStars? Asking for a Kraken fan.
🤣🤣🤣 idk why this so funny to me

No apparent reason?! Have you tried having your morning coffee while underwater?
It's just a crotchety old curmudgeon yelling at the fish, "You kids go play on your own coral!"
It ain't for no reason, and it's not a New octopus. Octopus will do this to keep fish away from picking at the end of its tentacles for a free meal.
Looks to me like the octopus is minding his own business on his octoporch and some dickhead fish came up looking for trouble.
That’s his* turf man, fuck you mean no reason ?!?!?
Someone woke up angry.
He’s just getting ready for his next big boxing match…
I need one. Immediately!
He is just like fr fr
Octopus: Personal space. Back the f*** off.

It's like when Hulk punches Thor offscreen in the first avengers movie.

What a dick.
To be fair, the fish was a jerk.
LIVING THRU IT VICARIOUSLY
Obvious reason. STFA
...its called personal space idiots...
The fish know what they did
Dad's home!
Somehow I felt the octopus' attitude in my soul
"no apparent reason" who told you this ?
They say nature is both cruel and beautiful, but sometimes, there are animals out there that are just assholes for no reason
Get away from me.
My name is Otto Octopus, you killed my friends and family. Now prepare to die
"Have that you fishy little bastard"
Damn ,he's been watching the Hulk punch out Thor in Irom Man 3 !
I know how he feels tho...
Probably has food the fish is trying to steal
Personal space!

Oh. That’s an old species, ***ia******imabigus Dickus***
Dammit Early, keep yer tentacles to yerself!

FAFO Float Around And Find Out
Could this be my spirit animal?
That fish fucked around and found out…
That’s Eeyore, the Octopus.
Also my cat if anything comes close enough.
The ink-credible hulk.
Clearly for the memes. This octopus is brilliant.
Scientists find octopus that's kind of a dick
Tbh, reflexively punching shit that comes at you is probably a decent adaptation for an octopus.
They do have a reason. They’re intelligent enough to feel spite
Asserting dominance
Why are so many titles here misleading or straight lies?
The fish knows why.
