1.Hippopotomi (Xrated)
Nobody would accuse hippos of being overly romantic. In fact, their sex is so X-rated we can’t even fully embed a video of it here.
Their courtship begins with the male hippo defecating and urinating at the same time, then whipping his tail around furiously in order to send the mess flying through the air.
Should this pique the interest of a nearby female — and it often does, for reasons we may never understand — she’ll return the favor by turning around and emptying her bowels onto him, a move scientists refer to as “submissive defecation.”
- Antechinus rat (Fuck to death)
The antechinus is an adorable, mouse-like marsupial, but their mating practices are anything but adorable.
Once they’re a little less than a year old, male antechinuses suddenly stop producing sperm, and begin frantically mating with any and all females they can find.
These sessions can last up to 14 hours straight, and are often extremely high-energy affairs. After one to three weeks of this, all of the male antechinus abruptly drop dead, poisoned to death by their own surging hormones.
- Giraffes
When a male giraffe is interested in a female, he’ll nudge her butt with his head. If she’s receptive to his advances, she’ll urinate into his mouth so that he can smell her pheromones. If he likes what he smells, he’ll start following her around as she walks away from him.
This will continue for several days until eventually, the female giraffe finally stops walking long enough for the male to mount her. He’ll ejaculate within seconds, and the two will then part ways forever.
