I came here for porn, but I must admit I do have a scientific fascination with this method of reproduction. Technically, the timberwolf didn't ejaculate "sperm" cells so much as "specialized retro virus" cells. You know what's weird? That actually makes sense from wild survival stand point: why spend energy reproducing yourself when you can force other creatures to do it for you? Being able to redirect that energy into other functions could certainly help an organism survive, at least in theory. In fact, I now can't help but wonder if there are animals that do that in real life, perhaps in some obscure habitat. (There is still much we don't know about organisms in the oceans, so who knows?)

Then again, this would mean that an organism's survival depends entirely on the existence of other animals that happen to have compatible sperm and/or DNA: if a timberwolf pack can't get access to such a creature, than without a biological "Plan B", that entire pack is out of luck, which could effectively be an evolutionary trap, which - in the worse case scenario - could eventually lead to extinction.

Oooohhh, I like it when something I write just happens to actually make some scientific sense! Heh, and it all started when I got a dumb derpibooru post stuck in my head...

I like to think that this specific wolfpack is 'special', since it has the big mare wolf as leader and the wolf-stallion as well, and I'm thinking that he might be an example of what happens if the virus goes too far, yeah?

I dunno, I'm tempted to write another wolf thing, either something where the wolf mare hunts Tinker down for more or something where the pack manages to snatch a mare one night...
