Worst (or perhaps best) use of a second brain ever.

the male actually doesnt need to be eaten. it could just brick and walk away. its just that they seem programmed to offer themselves up for a feast.

That's not what the narrator on Animal Planet said. The males sacrifice also ensures that the female has a good dose of food to help gestate the eggs... now that's a father!

That's my favorite channel, though I find myself Internet searching things when I hear something that doesn't quite sound right.
