She throws rocks at you. Hard.
(Capuchin monkey)
She wants to raise your babies on a pile of excrement.
(Fly)
She kills you after copulating, not before.
(Praying mantis)
Your tears turn her on.
(Mouse)
She kills all your friends’ babies.
(Meerkat)
She steals your food.
(Orangutan)
She’s fine with you throwing up in her mouth.
(Parrot)
She glows fluorescent green.
(Shiny jumping spider)
She walks toward you backward.
(Japanese macaque)
She lays an egg with a really big yolk.
(Canary)
