Puberty in mammals is defined as the developmental stage during which an individual becomes capable of sexual reproduction. This process involves a series of physiological changes, including the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, leading to the production of sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. These hormonal changes result in the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the maturation of reproductive organs. The timing and specific changes of puberty can vary widely among different mammalian species.
