Lobocraspis griseifusa does not wait for an animal's eyes to moisten - it sweeps its proboscis across the eye of its host, irritating the eyeball, encouraging it to produce tears.GIVE ME BLOOD, AND MAKE IT FRESHDracula ants (Adetomyrma venatrix) suck the blood of their young. It uses 22 pink fleshy tentacles that adorn its face, each highly sensitive to touch.DON'T SWIM AND EATEuropean eels (Anguilla anguilla) will not eat at all during their long migration to the Sargasso Sea.SUPERSIZE MEA female hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibious) can eat more food relative to its body size than any other ruminant. Queen Dracula ants live in Madagascar, cut holes in their own larvae and feed upon the haemolymph, or insect blood, that oozes out.TASTED GOOD, I THINKThe star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata) is the fastest-eating mammal in the world, capable of wolfing down a snack of worms in 227 milliseconds. Around one in seven are heavy drinkers who like their spirits neat, while most are moderate drinkers who prefer to wash down their alcohol with a little fruit juice. Just one in seven decide not to drink at all.BACH IS BESTJava sparrows (Padda oryzivora) appear to prefer the music of some composers.

Sparrows will listen longer to music by Bach than by Schoenberg, and prefer Vivaldi to Elliott Carter.MAKE ME CRYThere are moths that drink the tears of elephants Tears contain salt, water and trace levels of protein. The first male will deposit sperm in the female, then a second will arrive and use its spiny genitalia to scrape out his competitor's sperm, before mating itself. Much of the sperm of the first male is carried unwittingly by the second male on its genitalia. One in eight females are fertilised by proxy.

HOW WAS THAT FOR YOU?Female brown trout (Salmo trutta) fake orgasms to encourage males to ejaculate prematurely.

By doing so, they dupe their partner into thinking it has successfully mated, before the female fish moves on to find a better male with which to do the real thing.MONKEYS MIX THEIR DRINKSGiven the choice of whether to have an alcoholic beverage, or something alcohol free, around in one in 20 vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) become instant binge drinkers, gulping down so much booze that they eventually pass out. I have a couple of things that I'm looking at but it will probably be something ultimately that I write Just do it small Ben just did it this year and he loved it It's like having kids, you know. In five years, you'll wanna do it, man!"I've been working with all these guys [directors], hen-pecking them with questions, trying to get my bearings and see if I can take a shot at it. I wrote the Good Will Hunting script when I was 22 - and it's still the most fulfilling thing because we had control of it for so long. It existed because we'd made it up and that feeling is really deep and nothing else has quite compared to that yet So I can imagine that directing is like that.
