The Animal Kingdom

I was looking up som random facts about animals mating. Yeah, I've been kinda curious ever since Bakhu told me about snails and I told the Orchie group about it.

I landed on sexual cannibalism and that lead me to sexual dimorphism.

"Some species of anglerfish also display extreme sexual dimorphism. Females are the more recognized "representatives" of the species with illicium for bait, while males are small larvae fish with no digestive systems. The males must find a female and fuse with it and live off her body while producing sperm."
