Homosexual necrophilia in the mallard duck

The first observed case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) occurred on 1995-06-05 in Rotterdam, Netherlands[1]. Apparently (this part was not observed), two mallards were pursuing each other, or one mallard was pursuing another mallard. One flew straight into a window, dying instantly. The other mallard proceeded to have sex with the corpse of the dead mallard for 75 minutes until it was shooed away so that the corpse could be recovered. Inspection of the dead mallard revealed that it was male, thus making this the first observed case of homosexual necrophilia in mallards.

Hot.
