Octopuses: The Throwing Rejectors

Octopuses literally throw objects at each other when they're annoyed, just like humans

having a tantrum. Marine biologists discovered this after watching underwater footage where octopuses

would grab shells, rocks, and even fish to hurl at neighbors who invaded their

space. The throwing technique is surprisingly accurate too, with some octopuses

hitting their targets from several feet away. But here's the twist that shocked researchers:

female octopuses are actually better throwers than males and use this skill during mating season

to reject unwanted suitors by pelting them with debris until they swim away defeated.
