Mother Squid Cares for Eggs

This video may be preceded by a short advertisement. Ads help keep our video free of charge.

The female squid in this video is carrying in its beak an egg sac. The mother will stay at these dark mid-ocean depths until the eggs hatch. Then, she will likely die from starvation, since the egg sac does not allow her to feed.
