At Listverse statistics page, they once shared to give us a list of interesting animal sexual trends, but the deeper we dig, the more experts realize that what we already know is not even touched. to the surface, are there bizarre species? Have you ever wondered how scorpions or puffer fish are even squid (an indispensable dish in seafood parties)? We explore the "romantic aspect" of animal sex life.

The mating style of the scorpion is quite similar to the flamingos, they look for mates by "dancing" to attract females, even if they are the only duo of the area they live in. The duo's "roam" often happens on moonless nights, after the male scorpion spends 20 minutes "dancing" around the female, when the right time, the male scorpion quickly approaches and captures Take the scorpion's scab, then the scorpion duo "wrestle" together like a Sumo match that researchers often say is "tango dance of arthropods" , and "wrestling". flipped " can last all day. During the jump, the male scorpion placed a packet of sperm on the ground and then skillfully controlled the female's head to that position so that the female could pull it into her body.

During the time when the scorpion duo jumped together to look quite romantic, the pincer of the male holding the female does not seem like a cuddly bracelet, because it must work to keep "the female predator " to the position of the sperm pack.

9. Bowerbird (Australian Blue Bird)

In the world of the Blue Bird, the chance to have luck depends on the style as its "wandering artists" . Green patties only accept mating with males that build a beautiful and perfect nest.

Australian green patties build "love houses" on the ground with branches, leaves, stones and "flowery" things they can earn. But the main part of the nest is the decoration of the colorful, weak nest. In nature, Australian green patties are known as the Casanova guy with a way of seducing children with romance. They can pick up the things we leave, colorful things to decorate the nest, then they invite their children to see the nest. If the children match their eyes, they will enter the house and then, the male will try to seduce the children by spreading their wings, waving and gliding around and shouting.

However, it is not always successful, when children do not like the colorful nest, they will leave and then, the male must build another nest to invite difficult girls.

8. Flamingos (Pink Flamingos)

While many other animals change color or dance to attract the attention of their offspring during the mating season, the flamingos have a different way to a higher level, before pairing, all. individuals in flamingos line up in line and perform actions to attract their partners. They straightened their heads, marched, ruffled their hair and turned their heads back and forth while walking evenly, looking quite like a parade.

Like artists, flamingos understand the power of makeup. So during mating season, flamingos are all over the body, an oil that is secreted at the tail-end to make them pink and more attractive in the eyes of their partners. Red Flamingos are naturally pink thanks to eating crustaceans, but the oils they secrete (often used to protect water-repellent hair) contain a substance called Carotenoids that enhances color even more. .

7. Quoll (Cat bag)

Bag cats are popular marsupials in Australia, New Guinea and Tasmania, although they look quite cute, with "innocent innocent" faces, but this animal is quite aggressive during mating season. The mating ritual ritual has a certain order: first the male finds the female by following the "seductive" scent from the child's urine, then slowly proceeding to the children until the children recognize its presence. As for the female cat, sometimes they raise their feet to let the male smell the smell to suggest that it is also ready for mating.

And after that foreplay, things happen in a more violent way. When mating, the male jumps on the female's back and intercourse by holding the female's neck. The mating time can be up to 24 hours and after finishing mating, males sometimes offend their offspring and kill their partner. And if the children do not agree to mate with the male, they may also be killed by the male immediately.

However, male pocket cats also often exhausted their power to die in frantic pursuits to be mated as many times as possible. During the mating season, male bag cats consume quite a lot of hormone Testosterone and fight with other males, and they spend very little time eating and sleeping. It is not surprising that at the end of the year, the majority of cat bags are female and their offspring.

6. Puffer Fish (Puffer Fish)

While cat bags use force to rape, male puffer fish know how to flirt with fish girls. In fact, some puffer fish species design and build nests for laying eggs. Puffer fish is usually only about 12cm long, but the nests can be up to 2m long, wide and decorated with shells and corals.

The male takes about 10 days to build the nest, and if the female considers it worthy, it will lay eggs right in the middle of the nest.

5. Praire Vole (hamster)

Most rodents are famous for promiscuous behavior, but the habit of pairing a husband and wife is quite unique. While they reproduce regularly (children can reproduce 2 to 4 litters a year), they usually mate with their mates, and couples pair up to the end of their lives. However, hamsters are not necessarily immune to temptation, 1 in 2 spouses will often have sex with other children. However, although not faithful, hamster couples are still together, sharing nests and feeding each other.

Unlike other rats, hamsters secrete hormones Oxytocin and Vasopressin (boosting hormones that attract and bind to each other) they tend to mate for a lifetime with their partners (which can be understood to be addictive for the opponent) ). Scientists are studying hamsters and their hormones to better understand human pairing to understand why, some couples break up but others don't.

4. Seahorse

Similar to humans, seahorses like to start the mating process by dating each other, lasting for several days before having sex. A pair of love-loving seahorses will dance together every morning, when they are next to each other, weave their tails together and swim gracefully in sync. Unlike scorpions, the seahorse dance is actually quite romantic, and witnessing that dance can make those who are affectionate in the affair blushing.

And then in the last dance, the female seahorse will lay its eggs in the male's bag (the male will become pregnant) so that it will fertilize. And after the male birth, he left to prepare to meet another female child for the new mating season.

3. Albatross (Hai Au Bird)

The love life of seagulls has many levels. To begin with, they will be a couple that both males and females take care of together (very rare in the animal world). After that, they had a pretty "stupid" and funny mating ritual described by biology researchers as a dance, but for many people, it looked like birds were fencing with their beaks.

Seagulls have a lifespan of up to 50 years, and every year when they reach adulthood, seagulls gather at one place with their mates and breed. When a pair of seagulls pair together, they will begin the "swordfight" ritual, which seeks to "capture" the other and create a different "clack clack clack" . While the seagulls do not yet have pairs, they will constantly make "clack" sounds until they find a partner, and they only choose a partner to make a sound like it. However, when a pair of seagulls have been together for too long, they will not mate again - something that cannot be avoided even for humans.

2. Water Strider (Water Spider)

Water spiders are the only spiders capable of walking on water. When it comes to mating season, males do not perform traditional flirting but simply jump into females and ask for mating. If children refuse, it will create ripples that attract predators. When children surrender and agree to its request, it will stop creating ripples, so they can mate in peace (preferably peace because crawling on a lake full of hungry fish in below).

Unfortunately, female water spiders do not need to mate, because they can fertilize their eggs for the rest of their life, requiring only one mating. However, if you do not want the situation to be dangerous, even more dangerous, they must let the male satisfy.

1. Cuttlefish (Cuttlefish)

Cuttlefish is a mollusk known for its camouflage ability. While changing colors in 1 second is useful for evading enemies, cuttlefish also find skills to flirt and earn a mate.

In most cuttlefish populations, males predominantly outnumber females (sometimes 10/1), meaning males are constantly fighting for a mate. With such high competition, it seems that smaller males will not have a chance to mate. However, in this struggle, muscles do not always win. Smart cuttlefish can disguise themselves as females by changing their colors, hiding their extra "arms" (males have an extra arm to produce sperm - it can be said to be a set of and pretend to be holding an egg bag. When the disguise is complete, it can sneak through all the other males fighting and entice the children to flee.

In some cases, those who mischievous make up half of the pants, luckily, they can find the right female partner, and vice versa, the possibility of having a partner become a competitor.
