Amazing. I remember the first time I saw that last year, just took my breath away. It looks like more footage of a brooding
Gonatus onyx. Was this the first species of squid to be confirmed as giving parental care to young? What I'm amazed with after watching this video (among other things) is how a squid which is so keenly adapted for a horizontal swimming position is able to maintain what appears to be a vertical position with seeming ease. Lovely!
Theres a bit more information on this behaviour at
TolWeb.
Theres something about this footage that is very peaceful and calming. (*inserts ying-yang face, which appears to be missing from TONMO now*) Great find!
Cheers!
