This is a forum-contribution of mine,
I am afraid only retro-mac owners will understand
Interesting photo. It is rare
to see a mating-mount of three different
species, also known as a hybrid-sandwich. The LC II is the female in a
typical position. The male Classic II on top obviously got attracted by
the "II" in the name of the LC, attacking anything female due to lack
of conspecific mating partners. Note the excited expression on his
screen and the tongue sticking out of his slot!!
BTW, one hypothesis why the lineage of Cube-shaped species is at the
brink of extinction: mating got increasingly hazardous with height of
the shell. Other authors have suggested that derived lineages, such as
the Performa 250, may actually be descendants of these rare
interbreeding processes (see also Hanselman & Hirschhorn, 1998:
Ever since the SE. Darwin Press, London) |
