Seabird-eating 'monster' crabs are chatty during sex
Enormous and powerful coconut crabs are known for their extreme size. They also have an unexpectedly diverse "vocabulary."
From an evolutionary and biological perspective, animals are driven to have sex in order to procreate. But there is a lot more to sexual relations between animals. Animal sex is at least as strange and varied as human sex. A male might copulate with many females. And female animals of many species can be choosy, too. Homosexuality is common. Monogamy is rare. And the animal kingdom is full of swingers. In short, with animals, sex can be wild.
