Green Porno!

Biology is Fun, people. If you need convincing, Go Here.
The engine of evolution, reproduction, is even stranger and more wonderous than you might imagine, as Isabella Rosellini illustrates using gigantic origami sculptures, limpet hats, naughty puppet whales...

Warning, many reproductive strategies represented, most of which can't be tried at home, not to mention that you may be forced to hear the phrase "sequential hermaphrodites."

I love green porno! My favorite my far is the snail. "Sadomasochism exites me..." XD.

In college, my friend and I had a contest to see who could find the most bizarre animal mating rituals. I think the banana slug won.

Slime molds! They (well, one family) are separate (if slimy) animals during non-mating season, but then when they mate crawl together to make a mass slug-like critter, that itself crawls to a warm spot. The critter then produces a flowering stem which releases spores that make new baby slime molds.
