Do squid give birth to live young?
No they don't... I am doing some research at the moment on a school based assignment which requires me to look at how mating in squid's work. Here's how it goes...
A male squid runs into a female squid, there is a struggle (almost like rape) for the male to inject his sperm into the female. This happens and the sperm is injected into the females arm, this increases the rate of maturity which then causes the body to detect the sperm and produce eggs, these eggs are covered in a jelly - like substance and pushed out through the females funnel. She then grabs on to it with her arms. The jelly - like substance releases a chemical which causes the sperm to swim up and break the barrier of her arm and eventually the egg. This egg is fertilised and the female releases it to drift of into the distance. I think the average young is 1-2

How does squid protect itself from enemies?
Squids excrete a black ink which darkens and clouds the water, making it difficult for predators to see them. Then they use their arms and siphon to push themselves away danger.
Squid have eight arms surrounding their head. Each arm is equipped with suckers. They also have two tentacles, which are longer than the arms. These tentacles have wide, leaf-shaped spatulas at their tips that are are covered in four rows of suckers. Each suction cup is surrounded by hooks. These two tentacles are the squid's main defence as well as for catching prey. Squid also produce sepia, an ink-like substance that is released through the animal's anus.
How did the vampire squid get its name?
-- Vampyroteuthis infernalis, "the vampire squid from hell," got its name from its most obvious characteristics. It is typically a deep red, but some have been found which are nearly black. Its arms are lined with hooks instead of suckers. Its arms are attached, much like an octopus, and when its arms are outstretched this resembles a cape (much like Vampires are said to wear). It can throw this cape over it's body so it is just a mass of arm hooks, frightening off potential predators. --
