We can learn a thing or two from our animal friends!
A study about animal mating “found there’s significant flexibility in mating behavior and customs across many species”
When there are lots of other guys around, males can get aggressive with each other. But for males across the board (mammal, insect, fish, crustacean, amphibian and reptile) it’s not a simple game of fighting off your rivals to get the female of your fancy.
If there are a lot of other males around, the males of some species use stealth to outwit their competitors.
They prove to be lovers, not fighters. While the brutes are slugging it out, the suaver males whisk away the females. Sweet right? But there’s a catch!
“However, if females are abundant and encounters are frequent, males may abandon females who are not receptive to find one who is ready to mate.”
Wait… that sounds oddly sounds familiar!!
