XXX Hot Necrophiliac Lesbian Bdelloids XXX

Zooillogix is finally living up to the 'x' in our namesake. We have discovered a microscopic animal that engages in lesbian sex with its dead female friends in order to obtain DNA and thus survive to reproduce.

Bdelloid rotifers are tiny creatures that live in moss and small pools of water. Every single bdelloid is a female, and they reproduce exculsively by cloning themselves. When their watery habitats dry up, however, so do they, where they remain for days, months, even years in form of dehydrated stasis until the water returns.

This is my friend, Shari. She just came over to use the shower.

The drying up process leaves the bdelloids with no metobolic activity and causes their cells to rupture and their DNA to fragment. For almost any other creature in this world, this would spell disaster. The bdelloids, though, have a way of reconstructing themselves: They take in fragments of DNA that float around them in the water, whether they come from plants, fungi or even other dead female bdelloids (hence the necrophilial lesbian sex with other bdelloids.) Though it is not nearly as spicy as the title of this piece suggests, labeling bdelloids as lesbian necrophiliacs is extremely useful when trying to get someone to read an article that you wrote on the topic whether it's here on Zooillogix, Discover Magazine or in the nature journal Science.

NVDH does it again...

Bdelloid rotifers are one of the strangest of all animals. Uniquely, these small, freshwater invertebrates reproduce entirely asexually and have avoided sex for some 80 million years.

When our lives are in danger, some humans go on the run, seeking refuge in other countries far away from the threats of home. Animals too migrate to escape danger but one group - the pond-living bdelloid rotifers - have taken this game of hide-and-seek to an extreme. If they are threatened by…

This article is reposted from the old Wordpress incarnation of Not Exactly Rocket Science. The blog is on holiday until the start of October, when I'll return with fresh material. Sex is, on the whole, a good thing. I know it, you know it, and natural selection knows it. But try telling it to…

I'm not so sure the folks at Nature could be counted upon to adapt your little trick to boost their readership... ;^)

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

The things are so freaking cool. O_O
Crazy weird survival stuff.

BWAH HA HA HA HA HA!

Wait till Swank gets a hold of this information. I sense a new genre of porn emerging!

Wait, who am I kidding? Lesbian necrophiliac porn surely already exists.

Shari is quite lovely, but I wonder which end is up?

Good Lord these replies are all stunningly funny.

I keep trying to tell people that all 'females' come from the planet 'know' and the males come from planet 'why' but no one listens to me.
Humans have only just cloned a sheep and good old Betty Bdelloid has been cloning for over 100 billion years.
