    Do you know those animals like bees and some fish that copulate once for life?

    It’s heavily implied that the tribbles do it once in several generations. So I imagine they do it when they get luck to be thrown together.

      So they either evolved to be parasitic by nature, or they rely on being pushed along by the growing pile of tribbles or they originate from a very windy world, where they move like tumbleweed.
