    Ducks are a ridiculous evolution of rape and counter rape traits. It is stunning once you dig into it.

      I would like to subscribe to duck reproductive facts!

        Did you know: Female ducks have evolved a complex vagina with several dead-end pockets and tunnels in order to confuse unwanted mates and prevent fertilisation from the wrong male

          How does the male duck know which passage is the correct one? And can the female guide him or is it always rapey?

            That’s the neat part, they don’t! They do however, have barbed penises which are designed to scrape out the semen of any other duck who happened to rape her before he got a chance to.

                Thanks, but that sounds expensive and time consuming. I’ll just be over here.

                  Being well doesn’t have to be either expensive or time-consuming, just maintain a healthy diet and get in a bit of exercise a few times a week.
