Find out which animals engage in dance competitions, cannibalism, and intercourse that lasts for six months. Discover why lady weevils have a really hard time of it. And why the female Mormon cricket isn't offended when her partner insists on weighing her first.

In the world of animal sex there are apparently few traits or behaviors nature has deemed too bizarre to evolve.How Animals Have Sexis hilariously informative, filled with breathtaking facts and astonishing color photographs.
