I'm not making this up, either!
Here are some highlights from the article, and yesterday:
-
"The female kangaroo has three vaginas," [...] "She'll be using two for reproduction and having fun with the third. She is often called 'the slut of the animal kingdom.' "
-
At two inches, gorillas are not quite so well-endowed as you would think.
-
Male snakes have two penises. There have been cases where they've used them on different females at the same time.
-
A female frog, for example, will summon up to 25 males who tap their feet in a sort of slimy "line dance" to get her attention.
-
Male tortoises, often depicted as shy creatures, are in fact extremely aggressive, biting females about the head and neck in the amorous effort.
-
[...] female kangaroos, whose promiscuous lifestyle caused such a stir, come equipped with an incredible method of birth control: If they already have a joey in the pouch, a kangaroo's body can freeze the development of newly fertilized eggs at 100 cells until the pouch is free.
-
Pigs have penises that are shaped like screws. This is where the term "screwing" comes from.
-
"But it was the elephants that left the most lasting impression for some. Weighing 20,000 pounds makes intimacy a dangerous proposition, and at times a male elephant will have all four feet off the ground."
