Typically deep-sea squid lay thousands of small eggs, but a new species was found cradling only 30-40 unusually large eggs, suggesting different reproductive strategies. 'Giant size of the eggs' was deemed 'unprecedented.'
The new squid's behavior of protecting larger eggs challenges the traditional bet-hedging strategy observed in deep-sea squids, prompting researchers to explore evolutionary reasons for this unique reproductive approach.
