[QUOTE]There is such a thing as fatal attraction, especially if you're a small mammal in Australia.
Researchers have discovered "suicidally-sexed marsupials" that mate so frequently and constantly that they die, according to research released Monday from the Queensland University of Technology in Australia.
"The breeding period is basically two to three weeks of speed-mating, with testosterone-fueled males coupling with as many females as possible, for up to 14 hours at a time," Andrew Baker, a professor at Queensland who lead the research, said in a statement.
The increase of testosterone triggers a malfunction in the animal's stress hormone shut-off switch, Baker said.
"The resulting rise in stress hormones causes the males' immune systems to collapse and they all drop dead before the females give birth to a single baby," according to Baker.
The group of marsupials are called "Dusky Antechinus"[/QUOTE]
