Laying eggs of the Humboldt squid is like a giant transparent sphere floating in the water. They are quite large (about a meter in diameter). It's balls of clear mucus, which weighed up to a hundred thousand eggs. Masonry 99.99% water and float like soap bubbles.

This sealed sphere protects the eggs from germs and can "accommodate" up to two million individuals growing.

Such "balls" are very rare because squid live at very great depths, where people rarely look. In addition, the short incubation period of eggs (about three days) makes the first meeting even less likely.
