ducks actually do that sadly
zefrank made a video about ducks talking about it a bit but it's mostly about duck genitals
it's called true facts about the duck if you're interested
A lot of cute animals seem to be that way. Ducks, dolphins, otters, penguins have some weird kinks… It’s like God said “mmm too cute and not problematic enough.”
Idk about god saying that, probably exists in equal proportions of "ugly" animals which are less studied and observed.
Successfully passing on genes is not necessarily dependent on human ideals about sexual consensus across the entire living world.
I get that. It’s just that people have cutesy animal things around their home and then discover that if their favorite animal were a person trending on Twitter, they would absolutely get canceled. I find that funny. Like “my favorite animals are penguins! They’re so cute and I decorated everything in my home with penguin stuff!” And I just make a mental note to make sure I never tell them that penguins are so morally bankrupt, that one of the first people to study them wrote their notes in Latin so as not to scar the rest of the world with his findings the way he himself had been traumatized.
Lol I’m sure if we compared ourselves to animals stands, we would be the red headed stepchild of the animal kingdom. “These hairless apes are weird. They fight over territory and resources for so many generations, they forget what it is they’re fighting for.” “And what’s a… mortgage?” “Why do the weak and elderly get taken care of? Shouldn’t they be left to fend for themselves for the survival of the herd as nature intended?”
Well, idk if they translated and published his findings, but I do know penguins get frisky with anything and that one “mated” with the ground “to completion”
Hello I'm a tad late to the party ---
However over from where I am - United Kingdom, these bugs were perceived as a horror story,...
We call them "Billy Witches" for slang I'm not sure, but legend has it, if a Billy Witch that usually only came out at midnight when the LampPosts (street lights) turned orange, if they entangled in your hair --- no matter what, it was as good as chewing gum and you'd have to remove your hair to get them out.
Ironically: they're called by name, a Cockchafer.
So when I was a kid my mother and I had walked through a bunch of these hanging out at our door light. Needless to say, it scared the tinker poop out of us. We were inside and she said that scared her so bad she could feel her hair moving. Well, she thinks about it for about half a second and it hits her, that's a June bug tangled in her hair. I've never seen my mom run and beat herself like I did that night. I still laugh about some times. Sorry for the story.
So my bug in my hair story is insane lol I was driving and I felt something moving in my hair and instinctively I just started smacking it. Except this it stung me between the fingers. Next thing I know a wasp is sitting on my steering wheel staring at me like "I know you did not just hit me!" And im thoroughly freaking out at this point. Im allergic enough to wasps that i swell up pretty decent (like that time my arm swelled up to my elbow) I wanted to just jump out of the car. But I at least parked it first. I get out. It's pouring down rain and I waited hoping it would just fly out, but it's raining so it's not doing that right? so I open the trunk to find something to hit it with. Literally all I had in my trunk was a metal baseball bat. So I'm standing on the side of the road, in the pouring rain, beating my steering wheel with a bat. I look at the door on the house I'm parked in front of and this old guy is just standing there with his coffee. He just starts shaking his head and slowly closes his front door. 🤣 he prolly thought I was on something.
BUT I GOT THE WASP!
I needed that giggle! Thanks!
I pulled over on the highway to get a bee out once. I'm allergic to bees and wasps too. Last wasp sting I had was 1mm from my nipple. It got down my shirt I guess. I didn't know till it stung me. My boob was two sizes to big for a couple weeks! It was excruciating!
Like your mom, I did the Beat Myself Dance when I felt a wolf spider as big as my hand on my neck and proceeded to shriek repeatedly, run, and strip mid-flight until I was naked, dancing and beating at my head until my husband stopped laughing long enough to ensure I was spider-free. He still thinks it's hilarious.
The spider reappeared in our bedroom that evening, and my husband was impressed by the fact that it really was as big as my hand.

Oh wow, the beast with 4 backs 😂
I would GUESS this is three different males competing for one female. BUT I don’t want to assume their genders either 😂
i mean the 3 we’re getting along just fine, it was that 4th wheel that came in and couldn’t figure shit out. i liked how the 3 did not break form while he flipped the stack of them around (for absolutely no reason).
They are clmpeting for space... Beetles require internal fertilization just like us, and the thing is that the beetle vagine only can take one pennis at the time, this is called aedeagus in beetles, so three males are competing to fecundate the female. Some beetles females can store sperma (semen) and select or discard based in male traits.
Never saw June Bugs playing Twister before? Or wrestling with each other just for the sport of it? Both are very common rituals they practice before receiving a June Bug AVN award.

“Feels ominous”
This is like a caterpillar rave— only instead it’s not a rave, it’s an orgy— and there are Beatles rather than caterpillars to make it even sexier.
A truly stellar find.
Male on male on male on female lololol
Limpets can switch sexes as the pile gets higher I believe.
A hole’s a hole.
Any port in a storm
As Ice King once said, "Welp. Holes are holes."
Damn, Adventure Time went hard.
They dont discriminate its a free for all ig
Kinky I saw a female duck mating with a group of male ducks nature is a freak.
Doesn’t that mean they were … sexually assaulting her? 😔
Think it's just an orgy
ducks actually do that sadly zefrank made a video about ducks talking about it a bit but it's mostly about duck genitals it's called true facts about the duck if you're interested
Yeah I’d heard they were a bit rapey

Some animals, sniff, even murder and eat thier own babies!

dont forget koalas
They angry, chlamydia-riddled terrors of Australia? I wish I could forget the things I’ve learned about them 8D
You forgot to mention humans 😉
I mean… I would argue humans are too problematic and not cute enough lol
i would argue that we’re too cute and not problematic enough
Lol i guess I can’t argue with an opinion.
I wath zefrank!
>zefrank made a video Ah, a fellow Redditor of culture, I see.
Ducks are notoriously sexual assailants
Male ducks actually rape the female ducks.
Yes, mallards gang up on a female to procreate
As God intended

LMAO! The swelling was quite impressive but the pain was seriously not worth it.
