That’s not really a controversial opinion. It would be controversial to say: “don’t judge an entire species that acts out evolved behaviors and instincts based on human concepts!” People often justify hunting a species to extinction based on having anthropomorphized them first and identified a “character flaw”. They are wild animals, literally and officially dinosaurs. It’s your own fault for seeing them as cute little disney characters in the first place. I mean, many species (including humans) literally kill babies of other animals and eat them raw. I don’t do that and don’t eat meat, but I can still appreciate cats, who do.
I witnessed this once at a lake in New Zealand, when a bunch of ducks were gang raping this one female. My girlfriend at the time demanded that I go into the lake and try and break it up.
Yeah nah, that’s their hood. I ain’t getting involved.
Dragonfly mating is a competitive “contact sport” where a male identifies a female, subdues her in flight, and then links to her so they form a wheel formation to mate. Because females may mate with multiple partners, males may also scoop out or remove earlier sperm and guard the female afterward.
The first step in the mating process is for the male dragonfly to subdue the female. The typical scenario looks like this. While in flight, the male approaches the female from behind, grabs hold of her thorax with his legs, and sometimes bites her in an effort to quickly subdue her. Pulling his abdomen forward, he uses his anal appendages (cerci) to hold her by the neck while continuing to fly with her in a formation referred to as tandem linkage.
The corkscrew penis is wild because I’m under the impression that it evolved that way so that it would be harder for the female ducks to escape, that is so fucked up.
It’s weirder and more depraved than that: their penis explodes out of them in what is called explosive eversion and they have to regrow them every year. This is so they can find their way down the maze of duck vaginas
Where do you get the need to regrow them part? I didn’t see anything about that in the linked article. And the “explosive” part just means they erect them really fast.
I was shocked when I learned that male ducks have corkscrew penises and that ducks mostly reproduce through gangrape 😳
These facts changed my opinion of ducks

Yep doesn’t get more fucked up than this one, it’s up there with dragonflies.
What’s up with dragonflies?
Their mating ritual is brutal

“he uses his anal appendages (cerci) to hold her by the neck” is certainly a collection of words.
Yah there was a deliberate choice made when using that vernacular lol.
god damn
Thats an expected response lol

What the duck?
Nature is so wierd. A strange force where persistence and randomness intersect in all sorts of ways.
