The prime purpose of copulation is to fertilize eggs with sperm and there is little point (from a biological viewpoint) of copulating when the female is not in heat as there are no eggs available to be fertilized.
Male animals usualy do not mate with other males but many mythological animals don't base their sexual culture on gender. Even dogs occasionally mate with the same gender. It is not uncommon for two of the same gender to mate.
The only way two cats will mate is when the female is in heat. A female not in heat will make it clear to any intact male that approaches her that she is not interested.
No, only female dogs can go into heat. Males can mate at any time of the year.
Female elephants have two mammary glands on their breast, located on each side behind the front legs.
Most females will only allow a male to mount them if they are in heat as this is the time when they are most fertile. Although some females will allow a dog to mate them whilst they are not in heat, there is less chance of the female getting pregnant.
Only if the animal is in the same family as the rabbit. (Feline, canine etc.) No.
He is probably trying to mount her and she is not ready to mate. The female will only mate at a certain time of her heat, when she is ready she will flag him and flirt with him to let him know she is ready and willing during this time will be the only time she will allow him to completely mount and she will stand for him.
The female not only has to be in heat but she will only throw that scent off 3 days out of the 3 weeks she is in heat. So unless she is throwing off that scent, then and only then will they mate.
Hi, Cats will not mate if either male or female is not in heat. (Males in heat just simply means looking for a mate.) Only if both of them are in heat will the mating process begin. Then again, the male and female might not like each other. It is rare that this affects the mating process, but the female has to submit to the new mate's love-bite. Some females bully the males, which of course, makes the male avoid the female. However, if both cats are in heat, and both cooperative, the mating process should go just fine. Of course, you can't force the cats to mate, but occasionally, males can get a little picky about the females. Hope this helped.
They can, but usually not. Horses will mostly only mate once the mare is in heat.
Yes. In the breeding season, when a female is in heat, a lot of male wolves will fight to mate with her. The male wolves fight, and when one of them does get to mate with the female, he guards her, so other wolves know she is taken. However, sometimes, another stronger, older wolf may fight the male wolf, mate with the female again, and stay with her for life.
A female will only mate during a specific time of her cycle after the mating ritual has been completed the female will finish out the rest of her heat cycle.
