Animal life-Crazy ways animals reproduce and have sex...

I found this very interesting animal life discovery on some weird and crazy ways animals reproduce, its kinda hilarious but very educative. How the heck do other animals reproduce? This is something most people do not know about, they may have a deep, hidden interest on how some animals mate with each other, but never bother to get their questions answered. Whether they think other people will think they are stupid, or they are just too embarrassed to ask, they usually never find out. How and why do birds lay eggs? Seriously, do they have sex at all? How about bees? Fish? Snails? If you find yourself asking these questions, the answers are all right here on this page!
 
Birds - If you have ever wondered, or are still wondering about how birds mate, yes they do have sex, and yes there actually are male and female birds. Instead of the human body parts, you know, the birds of both genders have a small sexual reproductive organ called a cloaca. Cloacas are the small holes on the back of birds, you might see them as their butt. Not only do they have sex with these holes, they also pee and poop from them as well.

During mating season, the male's testes enlarge to produce sperm while the female's ovaries enlarge to produce ovum. They breed by having a female standing on the ground and having a male fly onto her back and have their cloacas have contact with each other, transferring sperm into the ovum. This is interesting, because the transfer actually takes less than a second to complete, but some birds sit around there, having sex for hours!

Snails - Snails are weird breeders. Before they mate, they have a mating ritual in which they communicate with each other for an average of twelve hours. Snails are hermaphrodites, which means they have both the male reproductive organ and the female reproductive organ, there is no gender for snails. During sex, the snails occassionally stab each other's genital region with what are called snail "love darts." This prevents the other snail from digesting most of a snail's sperm. After sex, both snails are impregnated and later lay eggs underground, continuing the existence of these weird breeding creatures.

Praying Mantises - This is an example of a species in which being a male means getting the worse end of the bargain. They have sex normally like how other normal animals have sex, with the male humping the heck out of the female. So all the male has to do to continue his species' pitiful existence is to breed with a female, except breeding would also mean losing his life, in a violent way. During sex, the male's brain prevents him from releasing the sperm, so what is the only solution to this problem? The female has to bite his head off. This has to happen in order for the sperm to be transferred, so not only does the male lose his life in this sadistic act of cannibalism, but he won't even get to see his kids. The female, after biting off her mate's head, usually can't stop herself from eating the whole upper half of his body.

Spiders - Male spiders have no reproductive organs. So what does he do? When he feels like his time to breed has come, he squeezes the sperm out from his belly and onto his web. Then he picks the sperm up with his antennae before looking for a female partner to breed with. They also have to be careful during sex, because if they aren't, the female, just like the female praying mantis, would bite off her mate's head.



Snakes - During the female snake's mating cycle, she doesn't have sex with a single partner, but rather many different partners. They have sex similar to how birds have sex and like the birds, both male and female have a cloaca. It is near the end of their tail, and it looks like a tiny slit inbetween their scales. In one theory, the reason why they have sex with more than one partner is because the females are able to store sperm for up to several months and during this time, the sperm have a contest in which only the healthiest will survive.
 
Bees - As you may have already known, there is only one queen bee in a single bee hive. The queen bee is not the only female bee in the hive however, rather, she is the bee with the most reproductive capabilities in the whole hive, the other female bees are called worker bees. This is perhaps the most gruesome, most bloody and gorey mating method ever devised by mother nature. As you may have already known as well, all the bees in the hive have a certain role to fulfill. The saddest role of them all however, is the drone bee. They serve absolutely no purpose, literally, other than to have sex with the queen. So they go about living their sacrificial lives until their judgement day arrives, the day they have to have sex with the queen. They have sex in mid-air, which lasts for about two seconds. Before intercourse the drone bee will have an extended penis, properly called the endophallus, in which the only way to let the sperm out is have sex with the queen. The penis is plunged into the queen's sting chamber, creating an explosive ejaculation that ruptures the penis and propels some of the semen into the queen's oviduct. The male bee dies minutes after his violent eruption.
