Left to her own desires, a female macaque mates about 1.5 times an hour, but that rate jumps to 3.5 times an hour when the male partner first provided grooming services, the study found.How the heck do these macaques find any time to eat anything? They've got to keep up their strength somehow.
Well, according to National Geographic Television, the males eat the fleas and lice they groom off the female. That must be ^some^ kind of sustenenace, eh?
What a friggin existence....scarfing down lice and getting busy sun-up to sun-down. With the occasional avoidance of predators, drinks of water, eating more solid food and toilitries.
Maybe slapping around the kids occasionally.
