Small, Sneaky Squid Produce Big Sperm
Let me interpret this figure for you.
“Awww, shit, sup girl? I know you with that big tough-guy consort squid, all mating and all, but lemme just sneak in and pop this packet of super-sperm up near ya mouth while he ain’t looking so I can get my genetic material all replicated … circle of life and shit.”
That’s essentially what’s happening here, down to the sneaking of extra-large sperm near a female’s “sperm-storage organ” near the mouth. Squid are some diabolical little cockblockers, aren’t they? Nature’s infinite mating strategies will never cease to amaze me.
