The female duck has a complex body. While males show dominance by forcefully mating with her, she chooses which male will father her ducklings by rejecting and redirecting the seed that doesn't suit her.

Male cuttle fish play the field and often sneak into harems posing as females. Once infiltration is complete, the male liberally sows his seed leaving several members of the harem pregnant.
