Animals wait for their whole life to be 'one night' ... and die

In the animal world, some species have only one mating and reproductive life. Among them, there are animals that will mate continuously until . die.

Mouse Antechinus

Antechinus rats are regularly reported recently for reasons of "playing adult games" continuously until death. This is not a degradation in evolution, but a substance that is unique to the species.

A male Anutechinus mouse spends half of their life having sex for up to 14 hours a day. And that is not the gentle, emotional clouds, but the "fast beating fast" sex style . This type of mating is so fast that it exceeds the body's ability to supply sperm and makes them completely exhausted. They will shed their hair, bleed and die before meeting their first birthday.

And in honor of the tragic departure of the Anutechinus, this article will provide you with some of the other species on this Earth that live only for reproduction . and die. There is a scientific name for these species that is semelparous animals. These animals have only one chance to mate and reproduce in life, but sometimes they mate constantly until death.

The semelparous species will certainly die after mating season, but they do not bother about having to survive. Therefore, males will put all their strength into finding partners and "fighting". However, quite a few mammals and vertebrates choose this type of reproduction.

Drone

Male bees were born only to mate with queen bees.

This is a typical example. Unlike females, male bees are born only to mate with queen bees. Occasionally they will use wings to cool the hives if they are too hot, or they will just lie there and wait for the breeding season. Some will successfully mate with queen bees and all will die later. What a wonderful life, right?

Pacific Salmon

Salmon looks more scary than you think

Salmon is known for swimming up the river to lay eggs, jumping over small falls and swimming to breeding grounds. Females will almost die immediately after laying eggs, while males live longer, enough to protect eggs. And then, they will also die from not eating anything since entering the freshwater area. They live on energy reserves from burning fat to move, once these energies are exhausted, they will die.

Deep sea octopus

Graneledone boreopacifica octopus.

Children of the Graneledone boreopacifica octopus live thousands of meters on the seabed and spend a lifetime living in hunger to death to protect their eggs. A research team has discovered this octopus looks after its eggs for 53 consecutive months. During that time, the Graneledone boreopacifica octopus did not eat anything or do anything, except to lie on its unborn children. After that, the children will die. The male is more likely to die immediately after mating. This shows that even smart creatures can throw away their reason for a good night.

Parasites of the spiral wings

True to its name, these parasites live a very "twisted" life. The female will parasite into another insect, like a bee or a mound, revealing only "sensitive" parts (basically its butt). Males will fly, mate and fly elsewhere. The male will die after that, his life only lasts for a few hours after hatching. And the female will hatch her eggs and her baby will eat her own mother inside and out. What a motherly love.

Chameleon

No, it doesn't change color to disguise

Every year, the number of global chameleon will increase and then decrease. They live only 4 to 5 months, from November to February or March of the following year, during this time they will grow, mate, lay eggs and eventually die. They only live on an island in Madagascar in a very small area of ​​the forest. Most of their lifespan is in the egg. So even though they still exist, they don't bring much impression. Not every story about evolution has attraction.
