um... i don't really know what to say...
Moeliker, C.W. (2001) The first case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard Anas platyrhynchos (Aves: Anatidae) Deinsea 8(243-247)
On 5 June 1995 an adult male mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) collided with the glass façade of the Natuurmuseum Rotterdam and died. Another drake mallard raped the corpse almost continuously for 75 minutes. Then the author disturbed the scene and secured the dead duck. Dissection showed that the rape-victim indeed was of the male sex. It is concluded that the mallards were engaged in an ‘Attempted Rape Flight’ that resulted in the first described case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard.
honestly! i'm not kidding, here's a link to the paper, and to the journal which published it
I'm somewhat disturbed now.
