Extraordinary footage of a mother squid carrying her eggs

Thanks for saving us from the clickbait. Maybe you could edit the post title to include that?

[–] RegularJoe@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's literally the article's title. I added the extra because it was click-baity. A lot of communities require verbatim article titles. In the future I'll try to keep that in mind.

No you’re fine. If they wanted it that way, it should be in the community’s rules.

SOI has an archive of all their live streams on YouTube. I think this guy cut the portion of it they are referring to in the article.

That is mesmerizing. Is some of the particulate in the video eggs (or hatchlings) that are becoming dislodged? Or is that all other debris in the water?

marine snow probably, im pretty sure there some mucus like material that glues them to the tentacles. theres an octupus that is similar too.

Down voted for clickbate title.

We don't do that here.

It's not OP's fault that the actual article title is click bait. They were kind enough to give the actual lede.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago

Wut. They posted it. It's definitely their fault.

They could either not post it. Or fix the title.
