Animal breeding Discover dancing scorpions, courting birds that give trinkets as gifts, mice that mate themselves to death and a mantis that eats its partner. This exploration of strange behaviour reveals nature s bizarre breeding rituals. Meet frogs that rear their young under their skin, fish that leap from the water to lay eggs on leaves and a bullfrog father that becomes lifeguard to his offspring. There are fish that change sex, others that bubblewrap their young, male hamsters that act as midwives, and even a male that becomes pregnant. And, in this weird world, there is even a shrew that creates a living daisy chain of its own young.
