The video explores the fascinating phenomenon of squid egg masses, which are large, jelly-like structures filled with millions of eggs. These masses are created by the mother squid using a special jelly that expands by absorbing water. The jelly protects the eggs from infection and predators while allowing oxygen to circulate. Despite their size, these egg masses are rarely seen due to their transient nature, lasting only a few days before the eggs hatch and the structure disintegrates.
