Squid Moms

According to a study recently published in the journal, Nature, mother squids of the Gonatus onyx species were found to carry pouches of new eggs in their tentacles for up to 6-9 months.

I hope this disproves the long-held theory that female squids simply abandoned new offspring on the ocean floor.

Let's hear it for the good squid moms.

The media has treated squid moms badly in the past. I'm very passionate about their cause.
