What is a mammals courting behaviour ?

0

There are more than 20,000 species known in the groups you mention with wildly differing courting behaviour rituals. But… frogs usually have the male croaking (or whistling… or honking… or barking) as loud as he can until he attracts a female, after which he leaps on her back, often furiously competing with other males. Most reptiles don’t have particularly complicated courting behaviour, but one interesting case is certain species of whiptail lizard; these creatures mate in the usual way, but this is unusual because this species has no males. The females, however, simulate mating – sort of lesbian sex – in order to stimulate ovulation. Mammals’ courting rituals, especially among ungulates like deer, horse and goat, often consist of the male defeating other males competing for the same female. Among predators, it varies; lions don’t really have courting behaviour, since the female lion is so horny, she vocally and loudly demands sex, often several times every hour for several day
