Sex and the single garter snake: amazing courtship rituals among Manitoba's randy reptiles
Article Abstract:
Every spring scientists visit Manitoba, Canada to observe the fascinating mating rituals of the red-sided garter snake population. Thousands of small male snakes compete for the limited number of large females and sometimes outnumber the females 100 to one. The females emit an attractant called pheromone which signal the males to follow and mate. As only one male will be allowed to copulate, they sometimes resort to sneaky antics in their competition.
