Mating Rituals

Fri, Mar 14, 2014

When it comes to mating rituals, the animal kingdom has it all. Humans, it turns out, are not that different in displaying sex-related behaviors - and we conduct the experiments to prove it! In examining courtship rituals, we find that seahorses intertwine their tails just as humans play footsie, and humans' eyes dilate like tigers' when sitting opposite someone they like. Grab a seat and play along while our experts break down the links between us and the animals.
