With a nod to Valentine's day I found a few interesting mating rituals. Hyenas make it difficult to determine their sex since the females are not only bigger and meaner than the males they also have a pseudo penis,but wait,that isn't the weirdest part. When it's time to mate the male has to get his penis into the female's fake penis then when it is time for birth the female has to deliver through the fake penis!
When honeybees aerially mate the drone looses not only his genitals in the process but also his life. The genitals explode forcing the sperm deep inside of the queen and his phallus prevents any other drone from mating with her.
Clown fish are all born male and live in groups with one breeding male and female. When the female dies the largest male then changes his sex to female.
Here I thought humans had some weird rituals!
