The first baby squid was born at approximately 2:30pm on Saturday 8th December 2012.
Weight: unknown
Estimated weight: 15g/0.5oz
Length: approximately 6mm
Colour: dark brown with black spots
The squid eggs were rapidly transported to the laboratory that is to be their new home. Approximately 20 more baby squid escaped from their capsules during the trip, making them possibly the first squid ever to be born in the back of a car.
Nearby, Auckland's Christmas in the Park festivities were just beginning. If we were at all religious, we'd worship this miracle. Instead we're counting our lucky stars.
