Hmmm, I think Newsbot is looking up dodgy things again...
 
My favourite paragraph is this bit,

"Bombay night frogs (Nyctibatrachus humayuni) mate by having the male straddle the female without grasping her, and releasing sperm over her back. The female then lays her eggs, allowing the sperm to run down her back and fertilize the eggs. "

Where has the romance gone?:rolleyes::oops:
