As you are probably aware-unless you're in the dog house for not buying your sweetie chocolates and flowers- mammals spend large amounts of time and energy in hopes of a chance at reproduction. This courtship behavior can involve touching, singing, dancing, and displays of beauty or strength.
Here are just a few remarkable animal's mating behaviors:
1. The bonobo monkey: Share the Love. Bonobo monkeys don't see a reason to get jealous and confine themselves to one mate, or even one sex when it comes to making whoopy. And they're kinky too! They are one of the only mammals besides humans to engage in face-to-face genital sex, tongue kissing, and oral sex, and are often found to move from one partner to the next.
2. Lions: Love hurts. During a mating period, lions will have sex on average 30+ times a day, and often forget altogether about eating. It may sound enjoyable, but the repeated copulations are to encourage the female to ovulate, which may occur when the spines of the male's penis rake the walls of the lioness' vagina. Not so fun.
She doesn't look too happy.
3. Elephants: Big Love. Due to their large mass and the fact that bulls are much larger than females (a phenomenon given the term "sexual dimorphism"), elephant mating can be a little tricky. After the nuzzling and trunk-play,
elephants deal with this size issue by having a prehensile penis, which means it can move separately from the rest of his body.
Unfortunately, if you're a human male, you won't be able to use that feature to seduce the ladies, but I wish you all luck in your quest for love.
