here are four very crazy, weirdways that animals have sex. number one, cichlid fishoften reproduce by mouth. the female begins by layingeggs in the sand for a male to inseminate. she then quickly stores themin her mouth for safekeeping,

the male then inseminatesinside her mouth, ensuring that any remainingunfertilized eggs become fertilized. number two, bedbugs mateby traumatic insemination, which is as traumaticand painful as it sounds. male bedbugs will stabthe female's abdomen with their needle-like penisand insert sperm into the wound. the female may be targeted anaverage of five times this way, sometimes bydifferent males, which
can leave scars and cuther life short by 30%. number three, theright sided garter snakes mate in ballsof hundreds of snakes. a female is found tobe more attractive when multiple males are courtingher at once rather than when she's alone. as soon as she hasmated, she quickly loses her attraction andthe rest of the male snakes begin to look foranother female to court.
sound familiar? number four, themacaque monkeys mate based on supply and demand. if there are only a fewfemales to mate with, the male will payfor sex with her by the currency of grooming. however, if more femalesare present at the time, it brings down the priceof sex, and the males will spend a muchshorter amount of time
grooming than theywould otherwise.
