The British scientific publication Royal Society Journal Biology Letters has published new research showing that female red squirrels have sex with up to 14 males a day because the male squirrels are “usually willing and available.”

Promiscuity also encourages harassment from male squirrels trying to coerce them into having sex.”
Happy Holidays!
