If I were an animal!

Having lots of time on my hands at the moment, I've been trawling the internet for random stuff. I stumbled across this video- the female praying mantis eating the head of her male partner just moments after mating. It got me thinking... what a wonderful talent! Or, how lucky she is. Think about the potential uses for this in the human world: bad lover... eat his head; he makes you sleep in the wet patch after doing the deed... eat his head; comes stumbling in drunk hours after he promised to be home... eat his head! I guess, the only problem is finding a suitable replacement. It gives a whole new meaning to the term "man eater" though, doesn't it!

What other weird and wonderful exploits (sexploits?!) do our animal friends get up to? Or, what can our male counterparts learn from them?

- The female pig has orgasms that last for half an hour (lucky thing)

- Male seahorses carry their young and give birth to them (all men can learn from that!)

- Hyenas live in a female dominated society. Female Hyenas "the most masculinized females in the animal kingdom ". They have very high levels of hormones that are usually found in males. (wouldn't the world be wonderful if it was run by women?!)

- Snakes can see through their eyelids (handy for when you're pretending to be asleep)!

- Spare a thought for mice though- their average time doing it is only 5 secs! (might give some men a run for their money though!)

- An oyster changes sex several times during its life (handy for when you're at a gig and the queue to the men's is non-existent whilst the ladies' queue is 20 m long)

Mind you, when I read that a shark can give birth to as many as 70 baby sharks in a litter, maybe we don't have it that bad after all?
