The concept is simple: Is this close-up picture of an animal butt or an animal face? Turn the page to see the full photo and learn some fun facts about the beast! Okapis are related to giraffes! Male peacock spiders dance for their mates and pounce on their prey—no web action here! Fun and colorful and silly!

Yeah, it’s a book about wieners and mating behaviors of animals in the wild. Or, well, in labs. You would not believe how many people study insect intercourse. There’s a lot in here about cultural perceptions about how “penis equals power,” and gender bias and rape culture, which is fine—I always love a good feminist rant—but I’m mostly here for the weird facts. Are ya ready?
The blue whale has an 8-foot-long schlong, but the barnacle has the biggest wiener in proportion to their size—up to nine times as large! You’re welcome.

My favorite kind of science book blends humor in with the weirdness of the topic at hand, and Oné Pagán nailed it with Drunk Flies and Stoned Dolphins. Pick this up if you want to hear about the romantic lives of cicadas—sometimes they get so stoned that they boink like maniacs until their abdomens fall off. And then they die. Or perhaps you prefer insects getting revenge on the scientists who study them, like the bees who were provided booze and became so filled with rage that they swarmed inside the lab and stung any human they could find. Fun!
