You think we have it bad???? Read this!!

[eenybeeny]

You know how marsupials are at a disadvantage because they have to finish gestating outside the womb - in the pouch thingy? So half way through their pregnancy they have to climb up into their Mama's pouch and stay there the rest of the time.

Well listen to this

"The young mouse like opossums which live in the American tropics early life is even more precarious because their mothers do not have well developed pouches. This means that until their FEET have developed the ability to cling these tiny marsupials hang from their mothers TEATS BY THEIR MOUTHS their legs dangling in the air"

Taken from D&K's ANIMAL book.

eeny out

eek!

Get the lansinoh at the ready!

erm thsts pretty much what my 1yo ds has been doing for the last 48 hours
think his feet have finished developing tho

i thought it would ring a bell with a few of us!

Another one

The quoll has a large litter - up to 24 babies!!!! But only 6 nipples. So loads of them just die!

oohh thats awful

I know! they look really cute but you wouldnt want them as pets you'd have to watch their babies die all the time!

more:

the proboscis monkey starts out as a baby with a blue face. Really cute!! As it gets older it gets paler, bigger and admittedly uglier.

The adult male defends his group by:

honking loudly
baring his teeth
and waving his ERECT PENIS

at any aggressors

not just humans then is it!

did yuou see my post about the barnacles eeny? They have HUGE penises and if a human male had one in the same proportions it would be as long as Nelsons column!!

Also, theres a type of bee, that explodes after copulation (the male one only!) and leaves his penis inside the female as a chastity belt type arrangement, so only his sperm can fertilise the eggs!!

OH MY GOD

we are looking it up in the book now!! Do you know the name of the type of bee? I did not see the post about barnacles - where is it? nelsons column eh?

cant remember! i got it (and loads more) from the book "Dr Tatianas Guide to Sex for All Creation" or something like that. I used to bribe my sixthformers to do their homework with a little paragraph as a reward!

ooh why didnt I have teachers like you? I might not have gone down my wayward path!
