Here is the kingdom of animals, so where is love? It manifests itself in quite odd and ridiculous ways. Prepare yourself for a world tour in the unorthodox embraces of erotic interactions where greetings and social grins are exchanged for the behaviors of copulating beasts.

15: Bonobo Maki

Indeed in the bonobo universe, being friendly is not as basic as a handshake or a smile. Oh no, for these monkeys it was all about using the female monkey for a fight or third it was a party to literally celebrate the discovery of food for the day. Gone, gone, gone the lifeless handshakes of humans!

14: Bananas Lok

Have a look at the slimy slugs that reproduce the most disgusting ways your grandma has ever heard of. Picture this: Love tool as long as the entire body had male slugs. Talk about overcompensating! But if the fit does not quite suit her then the female is not afraid of getting out her ruler/stitch and iron and altering it.

13: Brown Enter Kindness

What these little guys adore most in bed is sex and therefore they tire themselves to the topmost extent and drop dead as they roll over. Brown and OCONUS are described to be the sex masters of the animal kingdom and they nuzzle for an impressive 12 hours making love daily. Who requires food, a good healthy immune system, or a lifetime free from ulcers, do we know all those people?

12: Snails

Get ready for a hurl and get ready to discover all about snails, the hermaphrodite kisser. They also have some form of intercourse in which they fire a love dart made from a very strange calcified spike through the head of the other. Oh, how people come up with ideas and ideas for the sake of a few moments of passion!

11: Hippos

Finally, male hippos have a special technique for seducing females: they urinate and dump on themselves. Yep, you heard that right. Stink fest… I have never heard more convincing words of assurance ‘You are the one I want’ has any girl ever said huh? Of course, it appears the ladies just cannot resist the smell of it. The joy men go through just to get the love of their women must challenge běžaně, creating aches.

10: Flat Worms

Hello folks, now forget about the fencing series because here are flatworms fighting again in what has to be called penis fencing! These frisky animals pull out their penises and bicycle it like crazy in search of a flatworm, which is selected to be the male. Love is indeed a battlefield!

9: Ear Weeks

Gentle ear wig sides who would have thought? Due to the fact that they have two penises located at both the right and left sides of their body, capable of changing the position anytime it wants, the right ready or left ready. Talk about versatility!

8: Right-Sided Garter Snake

All slime welcome to the snake party of the century. In this case, the languages switch the casual three or four at a time and flood the community with thirty thousand. The females also get involved and the formation of the mating group commonly referred to as the mating ball, can reach 100 female mouths. Talk about a slithery soirée!

7: Barrel Births

Discovering the bowerbirds, particularly the male ones, the outstanding home decorators of the birding universe. They cultivate flowers and constructions called Bowers where they attract their potential partners. Away with flowers and chocolates; these guys paint or draw on anything from seashells to rifle shells. But it is kind of like MTV Cribs but for birds.

6: Water Striders

Members of the insect order, water striders spice their dating with danger. Male water striders have to drum their legs on water to attract the fish which may try to prey on them – the experience is thrilling during mating. What can be thrilling for lovers like a little risk to perfect performing romantic moments!

5: Red-Capped Mannequin

Michael Jackson is no longer the only King of Pop and dance, he has got competition. Once again the red-capped mannequin dances around the ladies enticing them with sweet dance performances. That is why people now have the so-called “Manakin Shuffle,” instead of the more famous “moonwalk.”

4: Bedbugs

Let’s move on to the horrors of mating, specifically, the bedbugs. These sneaky insects pierce a random hole into their mate and then inject them with sperm. Who needs a candle-lit dinner when you can eat lamps and go for a stab and insemination?

3: Bees

About the drones: these are the playboys of the bees' kingdom. Their purpose in life? Mating with the queen. But then still, they are a suicide team. The successful bee dies during copulation, and the bee’s figures are left on the ground, thus marking the completion of a transaction with the queen.

2: Destroy Each Mites

However, in the scheme of things in the mite world, it must run in the family. Male mites are sexually mature at birth and within 30 min of the birth of a female, they mate her. It will be fair to say that the [Slifkin] affair was indeed a very ‘family affair’.

1: Anglerfish

And lastly, we have the much despised anglerfish and as you will see the theme of love is taken to a very macabre level. The male anglerfish bites the female, thus enfolding them as one through the flesh till death do them apart. Born out of the female, he fertilizes a nest whenever the female is ready to lay eggs. That has to go down as the longest lasted relationship yet!

Thanks to the laughter-provoking and weird scenarios let me underline that when it comes to love, no one can beat animals!
