Jet powered dumplings you need to meet, not eat

- If dumbo and a hovercraft made out, this is what you’d get. We admit we have a pretty warped sense of humour. But when you sit back and look at it, the Dumpling Squid does kinda look like a potential 'love-child' of the two don't you think?
Now before you get all excited, unlike some of it’s other relatives this is not the type of dumpling squid you would see served up at yum cha. Bummer we know… It’s only 7cm long, so even if you found them at an all you could eat buffet, they still wouldn’t fill you up.
They’re a type of bobtail squid that you find at night along the cooler southern shores of Australia, typically in sandy habitats and seagrass areas. The bonus is, their cuteness can also be found in their cousins that live all around the world.
They move around using two forms of locomotion. The hilarious body fins on the side of their heads, which they flap like wings and jet propulsion. They achieve this by contracting their mantle or body which squeezes water out past their head through a siphon.
As you can imagine these squid are tasty little delicacies in the sea for a range of animals, so they have a number of ways to avoid being eaten.
They can produce ink which acts as a decoy and allows them to escape. They can play hide’n’seek by hiding under a sandy cloak, using mucus glands to glue the sand on (which it can also shed as a decoy) and if all else fails they can bury themselves in the sand.
When they’re not being scaredy-cats and hiding you’ll find then hunting at night where they feed on shrimps. A set of the retractable tentacles makes sure that no shrimp gets away.
When it comes to making more dumpling squid…. A male will hold onto their female with four of his arms where he gives her his love (in the form of a sperm packet) and they can spend about 3 hours in a squid embrace. They're so tired after this they go into what scientists describe as a ‘squid sex coma’ where they can’t swim and need to rest for up to 30mins, usually hiding in the sand to avoid predators. - Наука та технологія
Post-sex squid coma... never thought I'd ever hear that phrase!
Kirk Bümmer hentai inspired

Awesome video! Thank you for making it and sharing it.

Those things are so iddy biddy and cute i just wanna eat em up! But I won't, because I shouldn't. But come on they are adorable!
Another wonderful video.
Video seems to be rendered at the wrong resolution.
Thanks Carl, our mermaid is tech challenged and she will look into it.
Cool video nevertheless.

Thanks Carl, our mermaid is tech challenged and she will look into it.

Okay okay. So you've totally gotta take me diving if I ever come for a meet and greet :P
Soooo cuute
I think someone made a mistake with the editing. The video has been rendered in the wrong resolution I believe.
Thanks Carl, our mermaid is tech challenged and she will look into it.
lol, not everyone is named Carl :)
You heard it, I am Carl now.
so cuute
Why don't they always bury themselves when resting/relaxing instead of sometimes only covering themselves in some sand? It seems like a it would only take slightly longer time but decrease their visibility and safety drastically if they buried instead.
Perhaps it's harder to flee when buried. Maybe they weigh the risk or react different depending on what predators are around? Just a guess.
Why does Australia and Oceania get all the cool things? Nothing to see in Canada :(
you have seals & bears & wolves & wolverines

Great episode, way too short!
Do you do these to attract students?
Anyway: yes! It certainly is THE CUTEST THING! I want to see it hunting and hatching and sleeping and escaping and … everything!
Is it legal to keep them
awwwwwwwww
I wish I could get these awesome videos more often!
It looks like a fairy
Where's my boy Jamie? still a good video though :)
behind the camera this time my friend. I'll be back soon though!

I don't think the way of reference is going to be good way of thinking. Squid are not the same as us. Saying that they "have a stomach in their head" can't be right? Right?
I mean, if humans all had 10 arms attached to their torso and moved their eyes/brain/mouth to their torso, would we call our torso our head?
Where's Jamie?😭
he was behind the camera in this one. Thought it was only fair the resident mermaid gets some air play :-)
