Damn nature, you nasty! Just look at what you’ve made these sick snakes do:
The red-sided garter snake has one of the craziest sex lives of any creature out there. These snakes get together once a year in Manitoba, Canada, when the female emerges from hibernation, and release a pheromone that attracts hundreds of the male snakes in her vicinity to come by for a good time – all at the same time. These “mating balls†have been known to get huge, sometimes incorporating over 30,000 snakes.
