Penis Fencing

Posted Feb 2nd, 2006 at 8:12 pm in Nature

Tuck the little ones away, turn off your internet filters, and head on over for the brutally violent and shockingly graphic video of flatworm courtship behavior.

In a sexual encounter that can last for over hour, the two flatworms duel it out with dual penises. That’s right, two dagger like penises. The loser gets stabbed (it looks aweful) somewhere in its body, the sperm of the winner is injected, and then the loser ends up getting pregnant by absorbing the sperm.

Folks, if you think When Animals Attack is extreme nature entertainment, it’s Bambi compared to this!
