In tiny Amazon frogs, males observed extracting oocytes from females killed in mating
Sex is a risky business for many animals. Those who take part in 'explosive breeding' -- where many males gather and compete for a small number of females over a few days -- have it particularly tough. Males can become exhausted from the competition and search for a scarce mate, or from trying to dislodge other males from receptive females. The females themselves can be unintentionally crushed, drowned or simply exhausted under the weight of their many suitors.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/scien...~4/lgm1URwVYvI
