Animal Mating: Butterflies (12:02)

Tags:

Bernie Wides, The Naturalist, Carol A. Butler, animal mating, some animals don't bother with any kind of courtship ritual, bats hibernate and mate at random when they wake, butterflies, harsh climate, some males plug the females genitals after mating so she can't mate again, what does pupate mean?, the female lays an egg, it matures, a caterpillar emerges from the egg, snakes don't have an exoskeleton, butterflies go through four instars, butterflies have ultraviolet vision, some courting males engage in dances, if the female is unwilling to mate she can fly away, spiral path, some males are territorial, they can dart threateningly at other males, some males can make sounds, sex specific volatile compounds, pupate is complete metamorphosis, males are sometimes mistakenly approached by other males,

Bee Sex: Queens & Drones (11:15)

Tags:

bees, Fairway Market, honey bees live in a colony, the queen is the only bee that mates, mating flight, some males are called drones, their only function is to mate with the queen, the workers are all female, he ejaculates as a result from the body pressure of his abdomen, the severed genitals of the drone act as a vaginal plug, this keeps other drones away from her, the Queen receives millions of sperm from this orgy, there are genetic benefits of having multiple partners,

Bat Genitals & Fellatio (10:15)

Tags:

Carol A. Butler, bat genitals, testes size, the size is related to the amount of sperm they need to produce, bat species that mate with multiple partners have the largest genitals, in some species the female stores the sperm for a while, brain power and sperm cells require a lot of metabolic energy to maintain, fellatio in bats, new research in South China on fruit bats, they used infrared recording to monitor the pairs of bats mating, in 14 of 20 matings the females performed fellatio on males, after the male mounts the females from behind she then bends over forward and began licking the shaft of his penis, the longer the female licked the longer the copulation lasted, when there is no licking the mating might be forced, what is the evolutionary purpose of this?, it seems to help maintain the male erection and increases lubrication, prolonged intercourse helps sperm transport, saliva has antibacterial properties, licking can be protective, there is very little documentation of oral genital contact outside of humans, some scientists are uncomfortable speaking about this, female participation can increase the likelihood of fertilization,
