The quantity, density and dispersion of sperm (male gametes) differs between species based upon reproductive strategy. For animals that are non-mobile, such as coral, each animal will release hundreds of thousands of sperm in a carefully timed burst to maximize its chances of passing on its genetic material to the next generation. For prey animals, the key to reproduction is rapid intercourse with high fertility after a single contact; therefore, these species (like whitetail deer) tend to ejaculate in the tens of thousands of sperm in one small, concentrated package. Apex predators can afford more extended courtship, so the quality of sperm is not as key and they tend to ejaculate in the mid-range in terms of quantity.
