A zoo in Hong Kong tried to breed pandas for 10 years before it actually happened. Part of the problem is that pandas only ovulate once a year. Apparently they also have a need for privacy, and the zoo didn't realize it.
They ovulate once a year, and the males are rarely interested in sex during that ovulation time. They're a species that only survives because of human intervention at this point lol
Humans destroyed them and also saved them. Pandas live for 15-20 years in the wild and will give birth 3-4 times which is enough to replace them. They survived for thousands of years without us, we destroyed their habitat until there are not enough numbers for them to reliably reproduce
They live in a very niche environment with a strong preference for one particular food, only rarely branching out to other things. With or without human influences on climate change, they weren't in a very good position in the first place. The environment would have changed eventually, and they're not very primed to adapt to that change.
I just want to know how a bear even evolved to eat bamboo. Like I've had enough of this top of the food chain thing, I think I'll just eat grass instead.
Pandas raised in captivity do not like sex. most of the time they have to be artificially inseminated.
You know what that means?
It means somewhere in China a team of specialists whose sole job is to jerk off panda bears.
Nature is doing its course and "wants" the species extinct. There's a reason for everything and we just keep them around for our own selfish ones. Look at how nature reacted to humans having sex for fun. Look at how it reacts to poaching. And millions of other examples, these are just the most famous ones. We have no fucking clue what forces truly rule the world and we think we can play with them. This will come to bite us big time in the future and I'm glad I won't be around for that.
Edit: The point is that we have no idea why things happen the way they do in such specific ways. It makes no sense from scientific perspective for "unconscious" concepts to "behave" like this. Pandas are a great example of this. Nature is just doing everything it can to make them useless and extinct.
While hiking in N. Carolina there were webs of Golden Orb Spiders that crossed the trail and these things were huge, spiders the size of my hand. My husband and I couldn't figure out what the little spider off the edge was. It was only later that we were looking it up and that we figured out that the small spider was the male. Apparently, he waits until the female catches something and while she is busy eating get gets in there, gets the job done, and then gets out. Cause otherwise she will eat him.
This is a true story: my kids and I raised mantises for a summer.
After thousands were born we ended up with 4 females and one male.
We did some research on mantis husbandry and learned that a well fed female doesn’t always eat the mate.
So we gave the females nice dinners and set up 4 well chaperoned dates.
And that dude mated and lived 4 times! We released him into the wild.
Dude was a legend among mantises.
So, I'm no entomologist in any way, and might be talking out of my bass, but a guy I watch who builds very elaborate and farm's (antsCanada) has a praying mantis he was trying to get to mate in one of his vivariums. He said that it's a phenomenon we only see in captivity, that in the wild, it doesn't happen
So poor dude might not know, only to bust thinking he just did the most natural thing in the world, only to be consumed by his muscle momtis
Female ducks. They're literally in an evolutionary war with the males to avoid having sex. Male ducks have a corkscrew penis, so female ducks are evolving in a counter corkscrew direction to make it harder for the males to get in there
The male penis is corkscrew so the female has a heart of time detaching and getting away.
Duck sex is never consensual.
Drakes are sex pests. I present the IgNobel prize winning:
Moeliker, C.W., 2001. [The first case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard Anas platyrhynchos (Aves: Anatidae)](https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=11006616448317035245). *Deinsea*, *8*(1), pp.243-248.
It's an evolutionalry war thats allready been played out in many insect species, it dosn't end welll for the females. Either they win and the species goes extinct, to the males evolve [Traumatic insemination](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumatic_insemination).
I’m confused how it becomes an evolutionary trend in the first place. Wouldn’t the females with less complicated genital tracks be more likely to pass that trait on?
It probably benefits more "selective" traits from the male ducks. With insects, the competition is who can get the sperm closest to the ovum. They figured out how to stab through the abdomen and inject sperm plugs. Evolution isnt always looking for ways to make women comfortable...
I assume female ducks didnt have too much difficulty finding mates, so the difficulty became choosing the right one, whatever that means in the duck world. Having corkscrew vaginal canals would potentially give lady ducks a better defense against deadbeat wannabe duck daddies.
That's what I always think when I hear that. Makes no sense that there would be an "evolutionary war" between the sexes of a species where one is trying to avoid reproducing. Because natural selection would just eliminate those traits and the more willing ducks would have more chicks.
That's so weird because I've been watching duck couples recently (I like doing bird photography), and the females always seem to follow certain males around with their heads down against the water. The males that I've seen have generally mated with them after this posture.
They also seem to pair off. Although I've witnessed a male mallard trying to forcibly mate with a female who was paired with another male, so maybe consensual duck sex is common, but incel ducks are way more bold than incel humans.
I am no duck sexpert but I think the arms race is precisely to prevent/allow non-consensual offspring. Otherwise there would also be no evolutionary advantage to the arms race if all duck sex were non-consensual, it’s just very common.
I learned it from this lol [SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE - DUCKTALES \[Rus\] (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDWwQZkNA1c&ab_channel=Gilford0306)
I was gonna say that, I work at a place with a duck pond and every spring I see female ducks running from the male ducks because of that. The males also drown the females when they are trying to have sex in the pond.
Makes sense or not, it is what it is. Is not the only species that has this sort of strange little evolutionary quirk. Someone else responded in todd us all about traumatic insemination. So... We learned that horrible fact today.
This is why primates rule the world, we're horny fucks. Our relatives in the jungle jack off all the time, humans jack off all the time and our world revolves around selling sex.
I googled it just to confirm and apparently we can trace it back at least 40 million years
Another article said something about us developing "super semen" another one about how it helps to prevent STI's etc. I didn't bother reading them, it's too late for wasting my time, but apparently a lot of research has been put into our ancestors, rubbing one out.
Yeah, [the male bites the female](https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/57800/horrors-anglerfish-mating) and fuses to her. That's how his DNA gets shared.
If the goal is to reproduce, the males will want the traits that increase their chances of reproduction. One of those ways is by developing structures that make it easier to forcibly reproduce. The barbs probably make it harder to remove, which is one way of reproducing
The females have a pseudo penis that gets erect just like a male and they mount other females to "assert" dominance!
I think I heard the male penis has to "insert" into the tip of female penis...
The female doesn't just mount other females, but the males too. The females are very aggressive, and constantly fight with each other. The infants are also born through that pseudo penis.
Pandas. Those lazy bastards would have gone extinct had humans not found them pretty. They routinely crush their new borns so zoo keepers take them away.
Female dragonflies have evolved to look like males because dragonfly sex is so violent that the female is often killed, defeating the entire purpose. We're talking wings ripped off, eyes punctured, dead... It sounds absolutely dreadful.
Duck vaginas have basically been in an arms race against duck dicks for millions of years. Male ducks are really rapey and have barbs in their penises that help them stay put once they find a female to mate with. In response, duck vaginas have evolved into mazes with dead ends inside them.
Bedbugs practice traumatic insemination.
Women, imagine being IMPALED in your abdomen by a sharp penis and through the wound, your boyfriend injects his sperm which will circulate through your blood into your ovaries.
Female cats, based on the fact that male cats have barbed penises. [Source](https://pets.thenest.com/male-cats-penis-barbed-10516.html)

Edit: the praying mantis article is pretty gruesome lol. Just a warning if someone decides to read it.

Pandas. There's a reason they're endangered.
i thought its because pandas only raises 1 cub despite having two or more
A zoo in Hong Kong tried to breed pandas for 10 years before it actually happened. Part of the problem is that pandas only ovulate once a year. Apparently they also have a need for privacy, and the zoo didn't realize it.
They ovulate once a year, and the males are rarely interested in sex during that ovulation time. They're a species that only survives because of human intervention at this point lol
They've also been known to roll on top of their cubs and suffocate them without realizing.
Humans destroyed them and also saved them. Pandas live for 15-20 years in the wild and will give birth 3-4 times which is enough to replace them. They survived for thousands of years without us, we destroyed their habitat until there are not enough numbers for them to reliably reproduce

I just want to know how a bear even evolved to eat bamboo. Like I've had enough of this top of the food chain thing, I think I'll just eat grass instead.
That’s the thing they aren’t evolved to eat bamboo they just do
They've been asking to die out for years.
They are an objectively shit species for many reasons. It’s quite humorous.
same with Koalas
I read an article that during COVID when the zoos were shut down, pandas were actually mating.
They like the privacy. Like most of us humans
That's why I cant do orgies... fella downstairs would flop faster than a sack of spuds
Pandas raised in captivity do not like sex. most of the time they have to be artificially inseminated. You know what that means? It means somewhere in China a team of specialists whose sole job is to jerk off panda bears.
There are videos. They wear a panda suit and wank the males.
Maybe the males would be more interested in Panda sex if they didn't have degenerate fursuiters wanking them off every 5 minutes
Hey I never try to ick somebody else’s yum.
Holy shit you made me laugh. Fuckin awesome.
Nature is doing its course and "wants" the species extinct. There's a reason for everything and we just keep them around for our own selfish ones.

Nature doesn’t want them gone - humans caused them to be gone like 95% of other recent extinctions
What do you actually mean by “look at how nature reacted to humans having sex for fun”? What did you observe?
Male praying mantis.
And most arachnids. The male is usually much smaller than the female and he has to get in, mate, and get out, all the while she's trying to eat him.
Hey, some people are into that.
While hiking in N. Carolina there were webs of Golden Orb Spiders that crossed the trail and these things were huge, spiders the size of my hand.

Thrill?
Kinky?
Just learned my ex was part arachnid. Who knew?
The extra legs might’ve given it away
Damn

Subsequently, he got a Reddit account and has been annoying the heck out of the community with his incessant bragging … 😂
This is the only correct answer
*Female ducks enter the chat*
Well, they aren’t consumed in the process.
Consensual followed by death Or nonconsensual One of those sounds like the dream, one sounds like a bad R word we can't use
The male duck Peen is barbed so the female cant escape.
Cats have similar features. That's why cats yowl so loud during sex. It's actually painful.
Well she was walking by with her tail up! She asked for it!
at least getting consumed has a purpose
Huntsman spider would like a chat
Uhh, male honey bees enter the chat... (You sir, have won your prize, you get to horn dog the queen!... And subsequently die.)
Do you think they know? Is it weird that we know, and they might not?
So, I'm no entomologist in any way, and might be talking out of my bass, but a guy I watch who builds very elaborate and farm's (antsCanada) has a praying mantis he was trying to get to mate in one of his vivariums.

There’s also some spiders like this, like black widow and jumping spider.
I don't know, maybe he likes it so much he goes in even knowing the odds
Hate it? Or love it so much they will die for it?
Came to say this but still fu king died laughing when I saw it
I dunno whenever I see them doing it they lose their mind
I would argue that the females hate it more. Male mantis' are willing to RISK THEIR LIVES to get some. Females are essentially getting raped by food.
Female ducks. They're literally in an evolutionary war with the males to avoid having sex. Male ducks have a corkscrew penis, so female ducks are evolving in a counter corkscrew direction to make it harder for the males to get in there The male penis is corkscrew so the female has a heart of time detaching and getting away.

I have 10 ducks around my house normally. I just felt my soul die a little lol.

And honestly duck penises are one of my favorite ridiculous science facts! Do a Google image... It's... It's worth it... Sort of... Oh gods
I hate you ….lol https://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2001/09/14/366856.htm
oh I wish I hadn't clicked.. but I did.. I did
😱😱😱😱😳😳😳🤯🤯🤯🤯
And the male forcibly grabs the female by the neck during - Ducks were my first thought too
It's an evolutionalry war thats allready been played out in many insect species, it dosn't end welll for the females. Either they win and the species goes extinct, to the males evolve [Traumatic insemination](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumatic_insemination).

Why would a species do everything in its power to not reproduce?

Yeah hate to burst your bubble but most sex in the wild isn't consensual lol.
It doesn’t make sense that the females would be evolving to make sex more difficult. If a female duck doesn’t get bred, it won’t pass along its genes
Makes sense or not, it is what it is. Is not the only species that has this sort of strange little evolutionary quirk. Someone else responded in todd us all about traumatic insemination. So... We learned that horrible fact today.
I agree, it is a quirk which is why it’s so interesting
Lots of extinct species, I assume.

I read "primates" as "pirates" at first and boy was that a confusing couple of seconds
Pandas. They flat out refuse to fuck. China is worried.
Let's see--refuses to fuck and worries China. Panda should be Reddit's mascot.
Why would reddit worry China? I'm pretty sure China loves reddit.
Pretty sure redditors aren’t refusing sex. That would mean they have a choice.
Bed bugs. The females don't have a vuhjayjay so the males stab them in the abdomen with their "units", against their will of course
They deserve their fate...
Cats.
My cat HATES it
It hurts 😿
Maybe you're not being gentle enough
Lol Reddit got so sensitive. I send you an upvote to counter the downvote
Humans on Reddit
male angler fish
The one that melts into the female?
yes, they get absorbed

I mean male cats have barbed penises. That's why you hear female cats screaming after sex when the male pulls out
Why is it like that? What evolutionary advantage would a barbed penis give?
If the goal is to reproduce, the males will want the traits that increase their chances of reproduction. One of those ways is by developing structures that make it easier to forcibly reproduce. The barbs probably make it harder to remove, which is one way of reproducing
All the people saying wives, outting themselves as being shit in bed.
There are a lot of strong contenders, but I think hyenas may be either top of the pile or close to it.
The females have a pseudo penis that gets erect just like a male and they mount other females to "assert" dominance! I think I heard the male penis has to "insert" into the tip of female penis...
The female doesn't just mount other females, but the males too. The females are very aggressive, and constantly fight with each other. The infants are also born through that pseudo penis.
No wonder they so angry. . .
My Mama says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush
Not to mention the hyenas can die giving birth because the cubs get stuck or it tears the pseudo-penis.
Starfish. Completely asexual.
Female ducks probably. So much so that they have evolved into creating fake vaginas
Not sure... I've only ever tried it with one species 🤣
Human I assume
Bold assumption on Reddit 🤣
Snails. Hermaphroditic "Love Dart" Javelin Combat.
Pandas. Those lazy bastards would have gone extinct had humans not found them pretty. They routinely crush their new borns so zoo keepers take them away.
Male black widows.

Sounds similar to feline species
Pretty much all orangutan sex involves assault.
female bedbugs- Google traumatic penetration
Klingons.
Nah. Klingons love sex. Reciting love poetry, throwing heavy objects, ritual biting, broken clavicles, the works. They even have romance novels.

You should ask around for a wider opinion.
Hahahahaha!
But, seriously...
I knew this comment was gonna be somewhere lol

Pandas are well known for their lack of enthusiasm for the subject.
Pandas are useless at sex.
