Baby Squid, Born Like Stars

When Brad Seibel's 2000 paper suggested squids brood, it was called "erroneous." Years later, with the help of Steve Haddock, Seibel had the opportunity to take a submersible 7,000 feet below the sea where he captured this footage confirming his hypothesis. Take that, cephalopod traditionalists!

Mother Squids have to be good at coming up with names.

Reminds me of the Courage the Cowardly Dog episode "The Last of the Starmakers." I remember watching it as a child and being heartbroken every time.

its funny that we as humans often think of only mammals typically as animals capable of maternal qualities towards their offspring, but some squid as seen in this video and just abotu every spider species in existence show very large tendencies to care for their offspring, i know people typically hate spiders, but mother spiders are some of the oddest examples of animals displaying maternal instincts, they care for their young, feed and give them a home till their old enough to brave the world

ahhh the sky armys worst nightmare

[Daniel Brown]

Oh my god me too. That was one of the saddest, most beautiful things I have ever seen. I miss Courage the Cowardly Dog. It was able to be both terrifying and uncompromisingly 'human' at the same time. It really formed my future tastes.

Absolutely AMAZING! Thank you Poster. I get the strangest feeling that this planet really belongs to the sea creatures & we're just smelly, destructive, unwanted tourists...
