10 Horrifying Animal Facts You Really Don't Want To Know

4. Ducks Commit Gang Rape

Typically, ducks only have one mating partner per season. Sometimes, however, all the females will pair up and there will still be several males left to mate. So what do they do? Often the males will join ranks and force the females to have sex with them... violently. It's so common that female ducks have evolved a complex vaginal defence mechanism which prevents male ducks from getting their penis in so easily. If that wasn't bad enough, ducks also commit homosexual necrophilia. Seriously, some dude watched a mallard mount and forcibly copulate with another duck's corpse. That's the last time we feed those filthy horrors bread.
