Seasonal breeders are animals that reproduce during specific times of the year, often dictated by environmental cues such as temperature, daylight length, and food availability. This strategy maximizes the chances of offspring survival by aligning births with optimal conditions. Hormonal changes regulate reproductive cycles, leading to mating, gestation, and birthing during these favorable periods. Examples include many species of birds, mammals, and fish that time their reproductive activities to coincide with seasonal changes.

They are not losing their hair. Female ferrets, when they are pregnant, will pull out their hair to make a nest for their babies. Good luck!


Why can't plant breeders use asexual reproduction to create new varieties?

Plant breeders often rely on sexual reproduction to create new varieties because it introduces genetic diversity, allowing for the combination of desirable traits from different parent plants. Asexual reproduction, while useful for cloning specific traits, does not facilitate genetic variation, which is crucial for adapting to changing environmental conditions and improving traits like disease resistance or yield. Additionally, asexual reproduction can lead to a lack of genetic diversity, making crops more vulnerable to pests and diseases.
