ested to find out how different animals parent their offspring.from research I found out that most lionesses will have reproduced by the time they are four years of age.
I also found that male lions will chase away new born sons, so that the cubs wont challenge him. He mates with other lionesses to keep his pride.
The social lives of male and female elephants are very different. The females spend their entire lives in tightly knit family groups made up of mothers, daughters, sisters, and aunts. These groups are led by the eldest female, or matriarch. Adult males, on the other hand, live mostly solitary lives.
The mating season is short and females are only able to conceive for a few days each year. She will detach herself from the herd. The scent of the female (cow) elephant in heat (or estrus) attracts the male and she also uses audible signals to attract the male. As the female can usually outrun the male, she does not have to mate with every male that approaches her.
