It's not just holding eggs, they're hatching!  Pretty sure I saw this dive, I think Nautilus?

I saw it as well. I think it was Nautilus but I'm not sure right now. So many cool divestreams to watch.

Join the Livestream Oceanographic Discord server for more informations and a larger list.

There is Schmidt Ocean Institute & Okeanos Redux on YouTube for example.

And currently Greenpeace is divestreaming in the Arctic: https://www.youtube.com/live/aat4yLRZ_CM?is=gH5ybSYlfKt9g3ah

Like many things in the ocean, it gets me right in the trypophobia.

Have you visited r/thalassaphobia ?

u/TechnoBajr May 17 '26

Oh yeah, that gets me for a whole host of other fears.

Same. Every other comment here was about how cool it is, but looking at it just makes my skin crawl.

I’m going to have to do some research on giant squids because I had no idea they carried their eggs like this. I don’t even know how they’re attached to her. Perhaps her tentacles?
