There’s enough of these stories for a separate “squid sex” category. This one from Germany:
The giant squid is not especially choosy when it comes to sex and will mate blind without checking if the object of its affections is male or female, a German researcher said.
…
“Until now, it was thought males injected themselves with sperm by accident during mating. But that is definitely not the case here: the sperm was clearly injected by another giant squid.”There is another possibility that cannot be totally excluded, Miske added, which is that the infusion of sperm happened during group sex.
Right now, giant squid may be having group sex in the ocean – and you’re swimming in it!
