Predator Press [LOBO] Alright. I don't usually weigh in on political matters -well, on any sides anyways- but I must say the announcement of McCain's Vice Presidential running mate Sarah Palin surprised me. -And not entirely in an unpleasant way, like how sick I got when Ethan bet I couldn't drink all the old windshield squeegee fluid at that Amoco in Buffalo, Wyoming. I was more su

by *ahermin marita Artist’s Comments When breeding season arrives breeding wolves begin to get more affectionate with each other. This occurs in anticipation of the female’s ovulation cycle. When the female finally goes into a period called ‘estrus’, the alpha male and alpha female wolves spend a lot of time together usually in seclusion. Pheromones in the females [...]

The local bookstore had this huge display with a sign advertising, "Newly Translated From the Original French: 37 Mating Positions."The book was already wrapped in plain brown wrapper and I just had to buy one.Once safely at home and alone, I opened it and found that I had just purchased an expensive book about chess.

Betta fish Care Mating For breeding 10-gallon tanks are suitable. Sometimes even smaller tanks are utilized. The betta fish should be fed properly before breeding with live food.The temperature of the water should be around 80 degrees F as these betta fish are of tropical in habitate. They do not need special equipment.The betta fish in bubble nests. The male builds his floating nest of saliva coated air bubble called bubble nest when he is ready to breed. Hiding places should be provided to the female as the male betta fish tend to be agressive when mating. Under the bubble nest the male and female will begin circling with display of bright colors. The male will embrace the upturned female. As the female betta fish releases the eggs,they get fertilize and sink. The male picks

Throughout history, humans have referred to exotic cars as "beasts" and "sexy machines". But for all the sexiness these cars possess, mating happens on very rare occasion. When it does they put on quite a show. Exotic cars held in captivity in museums and garages around the world have all failed to breed successfully. Scientists have long puzzled over how these vehicles mate in the wild.Now for the first time, they are beginning to get an idea. Thanks to amazing images captured by amateur photographers, scientists are getting their first glimpse of how these automobiles attract and mate with other vehicles.Here we present photos documenting the mating rituals of exotic cars in the wild.Viewer discretion is strongly advised.Scientists discovered exotic cars go into heat before they begin ma

The cat, if you but singe her tabby skin, The chimney keeps, and sits content within; But once grown sleek, will from her corner run, Sport with her tail and wanton in the sun; She licks her fair round face, and frisks abroad To show her fur, and to be catterwaw’d Pope, The Wife of Bath (Prologue)Initial contact between tom and queen.Choosing a studIf you plan to breed from your pedigree queen, you will, unless you also have a similarly blue-blooded tom, have to find a reputable breeder. Make enquiries at a cat club, cat show or your veterinarian’s office. A first-class breeder of the kind you must seek, will have spacious, secure, hygienic and warm accommodation for the tom and queen.

A man takes his wife to the live stock show. They start heading down the alley that houses all the bulls. The sign on the first bull's stall states: "This bull mated 50 times last year." The wife turns to her husband and says, "He mated 50 times in a year, isn't that nice!"They proceed to the next bull and his sign stated: "This bull mated 65 times last year."The wife turns to her husband and says, "This one mated 65 times last year. That is over 5 times a month. You could learn from this one!" They proceeded to the last bull and his sign said: "This bull mated 365 times last year." the wife's mouth drops open and says, "WOW! He mated 365 times last year.That is ONCE A DAY!!! You could really learn from this one."The fed up man turns to his wife and says, "Go up and inquire if it was the same old cow every day."

Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on July 16th, 2007. Click picture for larger view. In this picture I believe you can see some five-spot burnets (Zygaena trifolii) mating, but it could also be the similar six-spot burnet (Zygaena filipendulae) because the spots can be merged. If anyone is an expert on this please let me know by leaving a comment. I would also like to know what the flowers are called. Anyways. It looks like the insects are having a really good time Check out my other insect photos.

Dear Useless Men, In light of how insightful you were when answering my last question (#351)--and since following your advice, I've found myself 8 lbs. lighter and far more comfortable cutting off senseless email contact with the "'little' brain"--I would like to ask a new question that I'm completely without an answer to: I recently attended a casual dinner party at a male friend's house with many of his female and male friends. After many drinks and lots of fun, the party disbanded and I was one of the last ones out the door. My friend offered his bed since I was far from home--and he made it clear he would stay on the sofa--but I opted to take a taxi back. After my friend walked me downstairs to a taxi and I was about to hop in, he pulled out his wallet and asked if I had enough cash and started to offer me money. Do purely platonic friends make that kind of gesture? (None of my other cheapass friends have ever behaved that way!) I got a bit of a vibe of interest from him earl

This is a horror story from my garden! I was walking around enjoying the nice weather and then I noticed some weird looking large flies. After closer inspection it wasn’t just one fly, it was three! Two dance flies were mating and consuming a fly. So I had to document it with my camera and show it to you. View the photos large to see more details of natures wonders.

Dance flies (Empididae) is a family of flies with over 3000 species. This is possibly Empis tesselata. They are hunters that capture their prey with the sharp snout as you can see on the pictures. The males swarm in small groups (thats how they got the name) and each male holds a fly. If a female should fly by, the males offer their prey to her. She chooses the best prey and mates with the male while sucking the fly dry. Information about th

On our program this week, we will tell about an animal that can reproduce without mating. We also will tell about a Swedish man who developed a naming system for all living things. And, we answer a listener's question about weight loss.(MUSIC)VOICE ONE:File photo of a hammerhead shark, the kind involved in the first known case of asexual reproduction in sharks.The birth of a shark in the United States has been confirmed as the first case of a female shark reproducing without a male shark. Scientists from Florida, Nebraska and Northern Ireland studied genetic material taken from a baby hammerhead shark. The baby shark was born six years ago at a zoo in Omaha, Nebraska. At the time, its mother had been living without male sharks for three years.Another fish was said to have killed the baby shark shortly after it was born. Recently, tests showed the baby had n

To describe the copulative behavior of a ladybird, or a coccinellidae as it is called among scientists, is actually quite hard due to the fact that the category contains at least 5000 different species (I wonder if they can tell the difference between us and say a gorilla). The account that I will give here will no doubt be oversimplified and perhaps only applies to a fraction of the 5000 different species, but it is nevertheless a fascinating type behavior.So imagine that you are a female ladybird. Because you are already four days old you feel it is really about time that you get a hold of yourself and cease to live your life in an aimless fashion. You feel that it is time to get pregnant. While wandering about on your green plant reflecting on where your life has gone you suddenly look up and see an attractive male about 2 cm ahead (which is about how far a ladybird can see). You feel really flattered when this handsome stud mounts you, but then, when he is just about to insert his

Every proton and neutron is made of three quarks. But all three quarks together account for less than 2 percent of the total mass of any proton or neutron. So where does the rest of the mass come from? Physicists ***theorize**** that each quark in every atomic nucleus is surrounded by countless 'virtual particles' that constantly emerge from the vacuum and then almost instantaneously subside into nothingness again.
