That nature just does it's own thing and doesn't follow our weird puritanical rules, no matter how many times religious people say something "goes against nature"

Its strange though when one species drinks the titty juice of another species. Imagine if humans did it...

What does it even mean for something to go against nature? Biology is absolutely wild, and as long as something is physically possible, it will happen somewhere. You could say this and that about a specific group of animals, but there are always crazy exceptions to whatever rule you can come up with. Who knows, maybe there’s a species that depends on virtual particles, superpositions, quantum tunneling, teleportation or entanglement. Sure, those things are really weird, but they are still possible, so why not. Biology seems to be all about this “why not” style of thinking.
