http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architeuthis Little is known regarding the reproductive cycle of the giant squid, but what has been learned is that the male of the species has a prehensile spermatophore-depositing tube, or penis, of over 3 ft (90 cm) in length, which extends from inside the animal's mantle and apparently is used to inject sperm-containing packets into the female squid's arms — the means by which the sperm is transferred to the egg mass is a matter of much debate, but a recovery in Tasmania of a female specimen with a small subsidiary tendril attached to the base of each of its eight arms could be a vital clue to resolving the question. The giant squid lacks the hectocotylus used for reproduction in many other cephalopods. May 19 07, 12:57 PM
