Yes, its been a long day of youtube-ing. Found this one for Jack.
This is the woman I love
Returning the favor and making it perfectly clear. This is the woman I love dearly and deeply. She has been my best friend for over two years and is the most unique person I have ever known. I could very easily see this being the person I grow old with.
Secret Sex Life of Jackie’s
No, that is not Jackie. She is considerably more beautiful. You can find pictures of her, if you look hard enough. So, here’s an interesting experiment. Take this article about the secret sex life of wombats and replace the word wombat with the name of your lover. Or boss. Its funny either way, and in my case, surprisingly accurate.
~~”With absolute precision, details of the jackie’s sex life were recorded and, surprisingly, it seemed anything but modest,” he says.
“It appeared to be a physically demanding process, complete with chasing, biting, grunting and loads of heavy breathing.”
Then in 1990, Mr Marks filmed the first common jackie courtship and mating in captivity in Australia, at Tonimbuk Farm in south-eastern Victoria.
“The female, after a prolonged period of copulation in the same position, broke away and began to trot in a pattern of circles and figures of eight.
“The male chased her, following closely behind, and then bit her on the rump,” he says.
“She immediately stopped just long enough to permit him to roll her on her side and begin copulating again.
“If the male was slow to mount, she would kick back aggressively and not let him roll her on her side again until she had run round in more circles and figures of eight. This happened seven times.”
Space seems to be the key. Mr Marks says without the “hard to get” figure eight dance, the female will not allow the male to mount.
But zoo keepers are catching on. Mr Marks says biologist Catriona MacCallum at the Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo has had spectacular jackie breeding success.
“Joining and modifying the pen systems to permit a chase, she not only found that jackie breeding was possible in captivity, but she found herself with the first recorded case of jackie twins.”
