Animals that have the most extreme sex and sexual life in the animal kingdom
1. The male brown antechinus mates with as many females as possible for up to 14 hours at a time. Unfortunately, the effort usually crashes his immune system and ultimately kills him.

2. Honey Bee: His primary job? Mate with the Queen. But sadly for him, he only gets to mate once because during the act, his reproductive organs are ripped off and his testicles explode. In the process, his semen shoots through her oviduct, where she stores it for later use.
3. The Angerfish: The male bites into the female, fusing his body with hers and living off the nutrients in her blood. In the process, his body shrivels up, loses his eyes, fins, and most internal organs, until, ultimately, he becomes just a portable sperm bank for the female.
4. Short-baked echidna: They have a headed penis so during sex, the male alternates, swapping out spent pairs as each fires its semen. And that semHundreds of sperm glom together into bundles, which can swim faster than individual sperm, increasing their chance of fertilization.
5. Barnacle: They have the longest penis of any animal on earth spanning up to 10 times his body size. That's like a human's reaching the length of a bowling lane. He can't move around very easily. So he casts out his giant penis like a fishing line to find a mate.
