Which animal has the strongest sexual ability? Hot topics and scientific analysis across the Internet
Recently, discussions about the sexual abilities of animals have sparked heated discussions on social media and popular science platforms. Combining the hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days, we compiled a structured data to reveal the "King of Sexual Performance" in nature from the perspectives of fecundity, mating duration, reproductive strategies, etc.
1. Ranking of popular animal sexual abilities (based on scientific data)
| animal name | sexual performance characteristics | Data performance |
|---|---|---|
| broad-footed marsupial shrew | The longest duration of mating | Mate continuously for 14 hours until they die of semen exhaustion |
| bonobo | Highest frequency of sexual intercourse | An average of more than 10 matings per day, used for socializing |
| Aplysia | Gender is the most flexible | Can play both male and female roles at the same time |
| Lemmings | The most fertile | One pair can produce up to 1,000 offspring per year. |
| bee (queen bee) | Sperm storage capacity is the largest | Sperm stored in one mating can be used for 5 years |
2. Recent hot topics on the Internet
1.Discussion on “Animal Sexuality and Human Health”: Medical researchers pointed out that animal reproductive strategies (such as the extreme mating of marsupial shrews) are of reference value for studying human reproductive aging. The relevant paper has been forwarded more than 20,000 times on Twitter.
2.Bonobos’ “sexual sociality” model: A video of bonobos using sexual behavior to resolve conflicts posted by popular science blogger @bioticqitan has been viewed more than 5 million times on station B, and the comment section is hotly debated about "primitive human behavior."
3.Aplysia's androgyny raises gender issues: The Zhihu topic "Does the gender fluidity of Aplysia subvert traditional cognition?" has been read 1.2 million times and is on the scientific hot list.
3. Dimensions of sexual ability assessment from a scientific perspective
| Assessment Dimensions | champion species | key data |
|---|---|---|
| mating duration | broad-footed marsupial shrew | Up to 14 hours at a time (accounting for 1/10 of the life span) |
| sperm competitiveness | fruit fly | Sperm length reaches 5.8cm (20 times body length) |
| Number of offspring | Lemmings | Annual output reaches 1,000 offspring |
| diversity of sexual behaviors | dolphin | Record same-sex, cross-species, etc. behaviors |
4. Controversies and trivia
1.Is it reasonable to "die from exhaustion"?: The extreme mating behavior of the marsupial shrew is actually the result of genetic selection. Reddit users debated "Is this an evolutionary advantage or a flaw" and received 14,000 likes.
2.Humankind’s Ranking in the Animal Kingdom: Biological research shows that the comprehensive score of human sexual ability is only in the middle, but the activity of the cerebral cortex makes sexual behavior the most complex.
3.The hidden champion of the insect world: The sperm of water bugs can "swim" into the female body on its own, and TikTok-related experimental videos have been viewed more than 8 million times.
Conclusion
The diversity of animal sexual abilities reflects the wonders of natural selection. From socialized sexual behavior to reproductive suicide strategies, these phenomena not only satisfy the curiosity of the mind, but also provide valuable samples for biological research. For further data, please refer to the latest research in 2024 in the journal "Nature Ecology and Evolution".
