Some interesting facts about the sexual lives of certain sea creatures...
When whales (not sure if it's a certain type or all of them) mate, only 10% of the semen from the male makes it inside the female. And you wnoder why the sea is salty...
Angler fish are also...umm...interesting. The females are HUGE compared to the males (these are those fish taht live waaaay down deep and have a luminescent orb thing that hangs in front of their face, like in Finding Nemo), who are dinky little things. In order to mate, they kind of attach onto the female and then sort of dissolve, until eventually there's only this pair of teeny little umm...angler-fish-balls...hanging off the female, who can build up quite a collection from multiple males.
Out of interest, does anyone here watch QI? It's on BBC2 on Fridays at 10pm followed by the following week's episode on BBC4 straight after. Is very good, very funny, and...well...Quite Interesting .

If I would have said that, Beo would surely tell me off. Welcome to my barrel Ameena.Ameena wrote: When whales (not sure if it's a certain type or all of them) mate, only 10% of the semen from the male makes it inside the female. And you wnoder why the sea is salty...
About those "appendages" in human disguise: I agree that many male human beings are probably just masked appendages, but it also seems that many females will gladly accept it. Seems some humans haven't left the sea too long ago...
