Bizarre Breeding

Season 1 Episode 3 of 6

Unusual breeding in the animal kingdom, including the habits of Australian marsupial mouse the antechinus, which has the dubious distinction of mating itself to death. These antipodean sex maniacs indulge in bouts of love-making that may last up to 12 hours with as many as 16 partners, leaving males little time to eat, sleep or drink

Weird Nature airs on National Geographic WILD HD at 3:00 AM, Monday 31 August.
