◎ Editor's Recommendation

★ Wang Dake, a doctor of zoology from Oxford University, will show you the colorful sex and love in the animal world! Subverting common sense and giving you a refreshing experience!

The penis of a male duck is in the shape of a counter-spiral, while the vagina of a female duck is in the shape of a clockwise spiral; Bonobos are keen on sexual diplomacy and do not need a reason to have sex; the wealthy sea slugs in the penis world only use each penis once and throw it away after use; the ruffed sandpiper is a peculiar water bird, some males of which love to dress up as women and take the opportunity to have an affair...

Monogamy, polygamy, polyandry, homosexuality, asexuality...the world of love is so rich and colorful.

Loyalty and infidelity, honesty and cheating, gentleness and cruelty; beauty and ugliness, class, the underworld, palace fighting, selflessness, empathy... The animal world is no different from the human world, and even worse.

★ It integrates classic and cutting-edge research results into vivid descriptions. The writing style is very vivid. It is recommended not to read it while eating, as it is easy to spit out your food.

Although the poses are funny, the views are very hardcore, which will make you feel full of smiles and laughter.

Is human menstruation a bug? Is there a scientific reason for being a "mama's boy"? Choose an "uncle" or a "young man"? Does sexual selection affect the evolution of IQ? Monogamy or polygamy, which form has a higher IQ?
