The picture of this lion and its mate went viral for reasons which will rapidly become apparent.

It’s a fact you might now know about that mating habits of lions (and lionesses) and it proved so popular because the look on the lion’s face was sheer perfection.

finding out that lionesses have sex 20-40 times in a day when they're in heat and if her man can't keep up with her she demands to mate by biting his balls has been the highlight of my day pic.twitter.com/Z8j8vdTc3A

Although …

this actually isn’t true!! he can detach the penis but he will die afterwards. there’s also a 50/50 chance the female octopus will eat him before he gets a chance to have sex with her. every live male octopus is a virgin (and an orphan)
