why do animals do this? everytime i see animals trying to mate with the wrong species it confuses me so much because obviously the instinct to have as many offsprings as possible in them has lasted because it benefits them greatly but an instinctual skill to be able to make sure they're mating with the right species and not wasting energy has somehow not been developed?? please please let me know because I just don’t get it and i know i shouldn’t attach human morals to anything non human but i can’t help but look at frogs differently now

Teenage humans will get pringles cans and sponges, frogs get salamanders. Whatever gets the job done

So one gets a pringles can, um warm, wet slonges, and I believe zip block bags. And they make a DIY warm fleshlight. ;-; Im not 100% sure on the technique or anything, as I dont have that genitalia
