The readers of this news group will have to excuse my ignorance on
this subject.  I have some basic questions about the mechanics of
sex among large animals.

In what position do a cow and a bull, for example, have sex?  I have
trouble imagining the bull mounting the cow from behind without breaking
her back.  How about elephants?  Rhinoceri?  Does the technique vary
between different large mammals?
