“Sorry I am unavailable to send photos of my enlarged proximal suckers”

;)

It is very possible! The squid dick is still inside the mantle but this random arm modification could actually have a very similar method (God I hope not), depending on the females proximal suckers.

This is also a very rare squid so it could be awhile til we see one on video.

I love science. I’m having so much fun.

Giant Pacific Octopus... tsk tsk generic as heck haha! But excellent illustrations as always!!

Only had one animal go somewhat into my mouth through accident... a small gray tree frog 😂never spit something out so fast in my entire life LOL

That’s probably better for the better @autsquidsquad.bsky.social , I actually have not yet touched a colossal squid! Hopefully soon!! But my assumption is they harden up just a little bit.

No problem :) thanks for asking the question ^_^

Footage and collecting of this genus is very scarce. So any bit of geographic data can be very informative. There’s estimations of 3-4 undescribed species of Sandalops.

Well Kat gave the text message, I just gave the youtube message 😂. But we can give Jeff some credit for his squid spotting abilities!!

Best of luck!!

There was the one with the octo in the background and the super dark one haha should both be in Falkortoo chat

The two squid that come after as Slosarczykovia

That one is Gonatus antarcticus

Woo!!

Here I am :)
