Squids have sex all day long, for two weeks

Squids are a large, diverse group of marine cephalopods. They begin mating with a circling nuptial dance, revolving around across a 'spawning bed' (200 metres, in diameter). At daybreak, they begin having sex and continue all day long - they only take a break so the female can drive down and deposit eggs.
