| | | Bush Cricket is a record-breaker
A species of bush cricket has the biggest testicles in relation to its' size than any other known animal on Earth. This is believed to allow it to mate with more females. Very interesting article on the BBC news website. BBC News - Cricket testicle size clue to promiscuous mating

I saw this and didn't dare start a thread They take up most of it's abdomen, but make them very fertile it seems.
( I showed the article in the paper to my friend and he guffawed - I told him it would be taken very seriously on WAB)
