When it comes to getting their freak on, the animal kingdom has a number of ways in which the male and female prepare for the most intimate of acts. Some are quite impressive, with a funky dance showing off bright feathers, but other acts are just downright strange.

Take the giraffe as a prime example. Now, most people struggle to work out how they are able to get things going in the giraffe bedroom department, but that is not what we are talking about. Instead, it is part of the mating ritual that is the strange point.

As they attempt to get each other in the mood, the male giraffe will come up to the female and rub up against her rather high-up bum. But that is still not the strange part.

He will keep on doing that until the female giraffe pees. But wait, that is still not it.

You see, the female doesn’t just pee anywhere. Oh no, she pees into the mouth of the male giraffe. After that, it is action stations, as there is nothing that will get a male giraffe going than a female giraffe peeing in his mouth. Who needs Viagra in the giraffe world when you have that on tap?
