Reality isn't as ~demonic as it seems. This is the fluorescent armor-studded fish skeleton of the Pacific spiny lumpsucker (Eumicrotremus orbis)! Clearing and staining techniques allowed researcher Leo Smith to visualize the neat tubercles of this cool fish.

Peahens will often select a male based on the choices of others. If a male can deceive a female into believing that he's been chosen, by making vocalizations to give the impression he's copulating in the bushes, it can have the effect of drawing more females in for a visit.

The notion of "normal" when it comes to sex is completely impossible to define. There is really no regular way that sex can/should happen. If we label "natural" as all the things that happen in nature, it's natural to stab one's partner in the forehead with a razor-sharp penis!
