They also can extremely clingy to their feeders in captivity. Like they will climb up on your arms with their tentacles and just hold it.

(For them it means they are “tasting” you because they taste with tentacles).

Oh and they also squirt water at people sometimes! Some say it’s because they don’t like those people but I haven’t seen much suggesting that is true. It might actually be getting their feeder’s attention or just a sign of boredom.

If we could figure out a way to make it so they didn't die when they had sex, they'd probably rule the ocean.

It’s all that rage and hatred they have towards other fish driving them to an early grave.

True. Anger and stress usually lead to a lower life expectancy.

Like Orcas - still not seeing their sea cities though, but they pass on knowledge and grandma stays around teaching, although she can't produce offspring anymore
