Amazon Primal: Weird Ways Sperm Gets Delivered

"If humans had babies like marsupials do, tiny and kept in a pouch, I'd have had ten kids," I heard myself saying during a speech the other day. It's not really true - one gets carried away with a good audience. But alternative delivery methods are always a good thing to have.  Improving ways to get stuff where it needs to go is why the world loves Amazon and and hates air travel.


The human way of delivering sperm has been fine with us so far but the animal world has come up with some crazily inventive ways getting the little swimmers to the beach. Through the tops of their heads, via gift bundle (like this squid) and even literally falling apart to make this delivery. Now that's a work ethic.

And here's 5 Gross and Amazing Ways Animals Delivery Sperm on NatGeo. Hope those ladies tip.
