A unique Animal Mating Habits

Animal Mating Rituals

Sexual behaviors of animals have many different ways of attaining sexual arousal and a unique range of practices. These animals beat all our human ways of wining and feeding. Some animals go to the extreme method of mating. Most of us have seen a dog or cat breeding. This scenario is often seen and basically normal for us.

What I want to point here is that not all animals breed the way which is most well known method, there are many of these species have different ways of mating habits. Some of the animals clone themselves or urinate on their partners to attract them. These mating rituals are really amazing and wonderful. It ensures that each of their own species multiplies to repeat the cycle to be able to continue their existence on the planet earth.

Language of Love: Animal Breeding Habits


1. Bee --The reproductive cycle of bees is amazing. The virgin bees attract the male bees in the hives by feeding them. During mating, the genital area of the male explodes and snaps off inside the female. Snapping off the penis serves as a genital attachment to avoid other bees from fertilizing the female bee. This method is successful in attaining animal reproduction, it is also applies to some other species like male wasp spider.

2. Chimpanzee -- This species uses sex as a form of greetings, making up for fights, solving challenges and a favor for exchanging foods. Like humans, they also engage in oral sex, tongue kiss, mutual masturbation and penis fencing.

3. Flat Worm -- Sex is more like war than love for flat worms. These species are hermaphrodites where in they consists of both male and female sex organs. In this way, male organ turns out to be two penises which is also beneficial in hunting and mating. During breeding, the two flat worms fight through penis fencing to poke each other. The one loses will absorb the sperm through its skin and then turns out to carry the motherhood.

4. Frigate Bird -- Male frigate bird has a throat sac which can be inflated with hard work that takes about 20 minutes to form into a giant red, heart shaped balloon. It attracts the female frigate bird upon shaking its wings and wagging its head. Thus, female bird will mate with the male which has the largest and shiniest balloon. During mating period, male bird puts its wings over the eyes of its partner to make sure it doesn't get destructed by other male birds which also have much nicer balloons.

5. Red-Sided Garter Snake -- When a female snake comes out from hibernation, it releases an element called pheromone that pulls in male snakes for mating. Male snakes have two penises on each side of the body. The male will then use the best-positioned and creates a large twisting mating ball for reproduction.

6. Hyenas -- Female hyenas are much larger, aggressive and stronger than the males. These female hyenas contain also of balls and large clitoris. In mating process, the male has to insert his penis into her pseudopenis. It is really amazing to know that female hyenas also give birth through a penis.

7. Giraffe -- Mating is quite hard for male giraffes, so when a male engage with a female giraffe, he will make a procedure known as “fleshman sequence”. To be able to perform this, the male giraffe pushes or shakes the female to induce urination; he will then taste the urine and if it’s good to him, male giraffe will begin the courtship method through following the female all around until it gives in.

8. Penguin -- Penguins are looking for mates through making a bugling call. Male penguins usually stay in one place, lower their head up to the chest and call out to the females. Like in most birds, they don’t have an external genital. The male sperm is produced in an area called cloaca where it urinates, defecate and reproduce.  Female penguin lies on the ground while the male urges his cloaca and passes the sperm.

9. Snail -- Snail genitals are located on their necks, right behind their eye-stalks. They have both male and female sex organs but cannot be able to self-fertilize. Before the snails mate, they shoot love darts which is rich in calcium. The mucus in the darts allows sperms to be formed in the snail’s uterus and helped it attain successful reproduction.  

10. Whiptail Lizards -- All whiptail lizards are female so they can’t have sex. Mating process is done where two females act the roles of a male coupling a female and switch roles afterwards. This is necessary to stimulate egg production in both lizards.

In any ways or methods these creatures mate, whether they are monogamous or polygamous, these species play a major role in keeping the environment alive. Without them, human life will not also be complete and exciting.
