Deep-Sea Squid Mate and Run
sciencehabit writes with a piece about deep sea squid in Science. Quoting the article: "Like actors in a scene from a bawdy farce, many squid don't know whom to woo when the lights go down. Deep in California's Monterey Bay, small squid belonging to the species Octopoteuthis deletron suffer from frequent cases of mistaken identity, a new study suggests. Males commonly try to mate with males as well as females, hinting that in the dark, these invertebrates may settle for whatever squid passes by. But their indiscriminate attention might improve the odds that they are occasionally successful."
to know where this is going.
So, you are saying that the Japanese were right?
No wonder that calamari is off Leviticus' menu....unnatural fin-less fish. They obviously choose to mate with their own sex, these squid make bad lifestyle choices, they are ruining traditional marriage.
