SQUID MATING DANCE - ©trevor_boyd Squid have sex all day long, for two weeks Squid are a large, diverse group of marine cephalopods. They begin mating with a circling nuptial dance, revolving around across a ‘spawning bed’ (200 metres, in diameter). At daybreak, they begin having sex and continue all day long — they only take a break so the female can drive down and deposit eggs. When she returns to the circle, the two go at it again. As twilight falls, the pair go offshore to eat and rest. At the first sign of sunlight, they return to their spot and do it all over again. —- Fact Source: http://www.2spare.com/item_55014.aspx

Squid have sex all day long, for two weeks

Squid are a large, diverse group of marine cephalopods. They begin mating with a circling nuptial dance, revolving around across a ‘spawning bed’ (200 metres, in diameter). At daybreak, they begin having sex and continue all day long — they only take a break so the female can drive down and deposit eggs. When she returns to the circle, the two go at it again.

As twilight falls, the pair go offshore to eat and rest.

At the first sign of sunlight, they return to their spot and do it all over again.
