These creatures spend their entire lives holding up to have intercourse, and afterward incredible
Existing just to have intercourse is a strong developmental methodology.

The humble antechinus, pre-sex.
Patrick Kavanagh
The humble antechinus has been in the news as of late in light of the fact that, well, it has so much sex that it passes on. This isn't a transformative blemish. It is, indeed, an element of the animal types.
Male antechinuses (antechinii? antechinae?) spend a large portion of their lives engaging in sexual relations for 14 hours per day. What's more, it's not relaxed, cherishing sex. It's frenzied gracious my-god-I-must-discharge as-fast as-conceivable sort of sex. The sort of sex that quickly exhausts their constrained supply of sperm and makes their bodies truly go into disrepair. They lose their hide. They drain inside. They pass on before they hit their first birthday celebration.
Thus out of appreciation for the antechinus' lamentable passing, we give you a little testing of the numerous animals that exist on this Planet just to imitate and pass on. There's really a specialized name for them: semelparous creatures. They have only one opportunity to recreate—normally meaning one mating season, however once in a while meaning one demonstration of sex—at that point they kick the bucket.
