"Rare Footage Captures Deep-Sea Squid Brooding Thousands of Eggs"

Incredible footage captured by the Schmidt Ocean Institute shows a black-eyed squid, also known as the clawed arm squid, brooding thousands of eggs in the deep sea, a behavior rarely observed due to the species' habitat at around 1,900 meters below the ocean's surface. The squid uses special hooks inside its arms to transport and care for the eggs, a process that may last 6-9 months during which the mother does not feed. This unique reproductive behavior sheds light on the little-known habits of deep-sea squids and their parental care.
