Tuesday, February 8 on France 2, a new documentary on the secrets of love relationships between animals and insects is broadcast at 9:10 p.m. Le 13 Heures presents some excerpts from “Animal Planet”.

Demonstration of force, fight to the death, courtship… Among animals and insects, there are multiple means of seduction. For most of them, the woman is the queen and must be conquered. The male aquatic birds, which must be flamboyant, seduce for example thanks to the dance.

In whales, it is rather strength that takes precedence. The 30-ton behemoths race and try to force their way to catch up with the female in the lead. In this tumult, the first to arrive is the chosen one. Male kangaroos, on the other hand, fight to the death for the favors of the female. In the praying mantis, the roles are reversed: it attracts the male into its trap thanks to seduction pheromones. Find all these methods of seduction in the documentary “Animal Planet”, broadcast Tuesday February 8 at 9:10 p.m. on France 2.
