Kinky duck sex and photosynthetic slugs

It's not just my ducks that were kinky as heck. No really, it's all of them. Here's a fascinating article about the weird sexual proclivities of ducks. There's video.

"There comes a time in every science writer’s career when one must write about glass duck vaginas and explosive duck penises."

Sadly, none of mine survived the winter's raccoon predations, but when the storms stop, I am going to build a bigger and more secure coop in which everyone can be more easily locked up nightly. At that point I'll probably add another chicken hen and perhaps three more duck hens. Even though their penises are in fact fascinating, I'm declining to keep another drake at the moment.

Of course, this just begs the issue of furry porn. Donald, we never knew.

And if that wasn't enough weird biology for one morning, have some solar powered slugs.

oooh puppyspam

So kynekh_amagire has this really really adorable 10 week old rough collie puppy, who we picked up at the airport two weeks ago. You may have seen him at Furcon!

Little Rooster has grown since. Yesterday we packed _all_ of our collective collies in my truck...there are now five of them, a matched set of each color in the collie palette save for white and sable merle...and took them to the beach. It was a happy day.
