Nature's Cruelest Jokes

[trekkiedane]

Ugly, bizarre, misshapen -- to the human eye, some animals look like the result of a cruel joke of nature. But our sense of beauty is only a result of evolution -- just like the appearance of animals. Take SPIEGEL's strange creatures quiz and help us find out how the heck this could happen.

I got 10 out of 10 -but I did have to do two of the questions twice!

I only got two. Those were some ugly animals!

True, the picture I posted definitely was the 'cutest' of the batch!

Question 5 of 10

Is this furry friend to be pitied or admired? The testicles of the Egyptian fruit bat can constitute up to 2.5 percent of its body weight -- heavier than its brain. How could this happen?

# It's the women's fault again: Disloyal females, who are constantly changing mates, have forced the males into brutal competition. The result stands before your eyes.

Correct! As the females regularly swap partners, the males of that species end up with more between their legs and less between their ears. Conversely, in the species of bat with monogamous females, the males have disproportionately large brains.

So when we men are thinking with our manhood, we can always say it's the women's fault because they screw around so much? Nice, I'm gonna keep that one.

OT: I got 8 out of 10.

Well, now there's scientific documentation....

By the same argument - if you want us to stay with you (like the monogamous bats) you've got to be smart.

Now that's not fair!

Women, always using their brains and outsmarting us. It's really not fair.

Well, I'm all set then.
