Bug Sex (part 1)
Have you ever wondered how insects have sex?  Well wonder no further, as my next two blogs are aimed at the unravelling the mystery of the bees and the bees. Starting with the ladies … Female insects, some molluscs and worms have a spermathecae, a sex organ designed to receive and store sperm until use. They vary a lot between species; some being simple pockets and others complex coiled...

The Blowjob Babies
You may have noticed by now that this blog strives to glorify the more unusual animals that share planet Earth, quite often focusing on their sex lives. This time we are taking it up a level. Allow me to introduce the Cichlid (pronounced sick-lid) fish of Lake Malawi in Africa. Whilst these cheery fish may look fairly pleasant, come the mating season they reveal a much kinkier nature. Most...

The DIY Bat
The tent-making bats (Uroderma bilobatum) really lives upto their name. These small bats, which live in the forests of Panama and Costa Rica, are amongst the few species of bat known to construct their own roost. These bats spend the night forage on fruits, but just before dawn breaks they must retreat back to a safe place to spend the daylight hours. Instead of wasting valuable time finding a...

The Marsupial Whore
Whenever somebody says Kangaroo I automatically get the Skippy theme tune playing in my head (yes I’m weird). If you wish to keep this family friendly version of our favourite marsupial in your head, stop reading now.   Firstly Kangaroos get around, with some species extending their range out of Australia. Tree Kangaroos are found in New Guinea and the surrounding islands. The Red Kangaroo...

The Slimy Flasher
Scientists working on the bioluminescent snail Hinea brasiliana have recently published papers describing how the shell of this creature amplifies the glow and creates a beacon used to scare/distract predators. It is also thought to act in defence, attract bigger predators to deal with the snails bullies. The scientists found that the shell is colour specific, only amplifying the colour specific...

The Farting Punk
There lives a bird in the swamps of the Amazon Rainforest that is unlike any other you may have seen … or smelled. The Hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin) is a pheasant-sized bird that wouldn’t look out of place in Jurassic Park. Historically the Hoatzin has been placed in the game bird, waterfowl and cuckoo families, recent studies place it in the dove family. Hoatzin chicks have unusual claws on...

The Laughing Transvestite
Hyenas have suffered a lot of bad press. For thousands of years they have been associated with evil spirits and witchcraft (and the evil henchmen of psycho lions – thanks Disney!!). Well it is time to set the record straight, so this post is dedicated to one of my favourite mammals. Despite their appearance Hyenas are NOT dogs nor are they even closely related. They are actually the cousins of...

The OAP Tree
I thought I’d start with my favourite species of tree … that didn’t sound as geeky in my head!! Ginkgo biloba (a.k.a the Ginkgo tree or Maidenhair tree). There are many reasons that make this tree so unique, but perhaps its biggest claim to fame is that it is the oldest living species of tree on the planet. The Gingko family can be traced back to the Permian era; around 270...
