I had Squid on my mind the other day. So I found myself researching Squid. Some pretty interesting facts came to light. Did you know that they are basically eating and mating machines.......also there was this.............................The relatively long terminal organ (penis) of a mature male is almost the length of its mantle, from which it projects freely, through the funnel, for a considerable portion of the organ's length. Species with such long organs presumably use them directly to implant spermatophores hydraulically into the female, and as a rule lack modification of either ventral arm (hectocotylus) for spermatophore transfer. Architeuthis lacks a hectocotylus.
His metre+-long penis presumably injects numerous spermatophores directly into the female's arms (Fig. 4, left). The two animals then separate, the male swimming away,
anywhoie I have this friend that has a Calamari Crib. think I just migfht ask him about this info for his akas is squid and if this was why he picked his name. THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMM
