Kinky duck sex and photosynthetic slugs

[summer_jackel]

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.

I always like it when the clockwise-duck-penis vs. widdershins-duck-oviduct (or possibly the other way around) thing is referred to as an "evolutionary arms race". Hee hee.

Solar powered slugs are, possibly, the best thing ever.

Yeah, the arms don't look to be the part that are racing...
