Squid Mating in Monterey Bay

On the sandy bottom of Monterey Bay, squid are busily perpetuating their species. Sacs of eggs, anchored in the sand by the females, wave in the current. The males' tentacles blush a bright red during mating. One male can be seen slipping a packet of spermatozoa into the female's body around :42. After securing the last of the eggs in the sand, all the squid die.

not sure why i looked up "squids mating" but now im scared...

[lindamermaid]

@AmberSanAndreas Scared? Of what, the squid? These are only about 6 inches long. They are very curious and will sometimes approach divers - except when they are busy laying eggs.

@lindamermaid dont they hurt people?

[lindamermaid]

@AmberSanAndreas I've never heard of anyone being hurt by a squid. They don't have teeth, they have a tiny beak in the middle of their tentacles but they probably couldn't bite you even if you stuck your finger in their mouth. Plus they swim off if you get too close. These squid ignored me completely.

The regulator and your breathing makes this sound like some kind of weird fishy voyeurism.
