Female mammals are less likely to be solitary than male mammals. There are many species in which the females stay in the [group] while the males must leave and find a new [group]. There are a few species in which it is the other way around, but this is rare. Besides, if you count the company of the babies, then females are rarely solitary because they are rearing young.
