Flatworms mate by dueling 🤺🤺 They’re hermaphrodites and both want to be the father, so they fence with their two penises until one of them lands a hit. They can stab anywhere on the body! The sperm is injected straight through the skin and eventually reaches the eggs inside. The moment it gets in, the “loser” is locked in and can’t inseminate the other anymore. The winner leaves with zero responsibilities. The loser carries the eggs and becomes the mom. Nature really went off with this one 🤯
