The female knot-tying weaverbird will refuse to mate with a
male who has built a shoddy nest. If spurned, the male must
take the nest apart and completely rebuild it in order to win
the affections of the female. |
The male Darwin frog, found in Chile, swallows his mates eggs
and keeps them in a sac under his chin. When the tadpoles are
big enough he opens his mouth and lets them out. |
The female bedbug has no sexual opening. To get around this
small problem, the male uses his curved penis to drill a vagina
into the female. |
The female Praying Mantis eats her mate after sex. During the
act the female will hook her large arms around to hold him
in place and start nibbling away. The sex drive is so strong
in the male that he can continue to copulate even if his partner
gets a little peckish before he's finished. |
The male tick doesn't have a penis. Instead, he uses his nose
to sniff out the females vagina. Once he's made it large enough
by poking his nose around, he turns round and deposits his
seamen. To finish the job off, he then turns round again and
pushes the seamen inside with his trusty nose. |
The oyster is usually ambisexual. It begins life as a male,
then becomes a female, then changes back to being a male, then
back to being female. It may go back and forth many times. |
So, you've heard the phrase, "going at it like rabbits".
Well, the desert rat makes the rabbit look a little useless
in the Don Juan stakes. The desert rat can have sex up to 120
times an hour.
