Mommie Deepest

Marine biologists have discovered that contrary to their earlier assumptions, some species of squid are actually careful and attentive mothers. Sorry, but I saw "mommie deepest" in the photo caption and had to use it.

What strikes me is how beautiful this creature is. I once saw a micro-movie of a human ovum approaching the beckoning end of the fallopian tube, and the feel was quite similar. The ovum had "veils" and the end of the tube looked like a carnation with petals. The pink color was similar. But this sea creatures looks pearled with her brood.
