Heat cycles in animals can be compared to menstrual cycles in humans, except in most animals, the cycle lasts much longer than just one week. Of course, this depends on the species of animal; however, an animal's heat cycle can last anywhere between three and four weeks. Females will not be interested in breeding unless they are in heat, and they must be in the right stage of heat before they will show interest. This is typically around the 10th to the 14th day of the cycle, but again, this can vary depending on the species. Additionally, males are not interested in females unless they are in the right stage of heat. Unlike female humans who have a menstrual cycle every month, animals only have a heat season twice a year. This may vary as well, with some species coming into heat three or four times a year.
