‘Birds do it, bees do it, Even educated fleas do it . . . ‘ wrote Cole Porter in 1928.
‘Let’s Do It, Let’s Fall In Love’ is the inspiration for Bruce’s A-Z guide to the sexual predilections of animals from aardvarks to zebras – including Homo sapiens. He includes how shy camels arrange secret love trysts, female chameleons whose skin darkens when they’re no longer in the mood, giraffes who swing their hips and swish their tails when they’re feeling frisky and oysters that can change sex pretty much at will.
This is a wide-ranging, light-hearted but well-researched look at the world of animal love and lust.
