"the females accidentally bite bits off of the males during mating"

So, evidence is emerging that giant squid may not be carnivorous after all, despite the discovery of parts of one giant squid in the stomach of another. Says ABC:

But New Zealand based marine biologist Steve O'Shea believes that was the result of some bizarre mating methods.

He says the creatures do not mean to eat each other but the females accidentally bite bits off of the males during mating.

Ouch.
