Parents, you might want to have the kids leave the room for this one. What you're about to watch is a little bit steamy, a little bit naughty. It's "PawNation After Dark." But it's educational! We're going to take a trip to the Gulf of Mexico to observe squids mating. That's right; even squids make ... well, it doesn't seem like love, exactly. Let's just call it "making the biological imperative." Frankly, it doesn't look like much. We hope you're not too disappointed. We hope the squids aren't too disappointed, either. But we will give credit where credit is due: Squids may not experience the most joyful mating act in the world, but, boy, can they perpetuate the species!
