A newly discovered species of the antechinus genus of marsupial are perhaps coming close to wiping themselves out by breeding too enthusiastically.

This little guy will have sex until it literally begins to disintegrate in an attempt to inseminate as many females as possible. The males mature very rapidly towards the ends of their lives, and a testosterone fueled red haze descends over them as they neglect all else for a bit of lady-antechinus action. This causes them to completely neglect their bodies, leaving them open to infection and disease, until their fur falls out, their bones crumble and they suffer internal bleeding.

And you thought Tinder was bad.
