Whats the Point of showing violent tendencies while mating?
In: Biology
For many animals the initial “survival of the fittest” benchmark is satisfied prior to mating. Only the strong are allowed to mate in order to ensure strong offspring. Cats are a familiar animal that have a shocking mating ritual. Basically the male must prove that he’s worthy to mate by overpowering the female… even if she’s in heat and “wants” to mate. If he can’t overpower her, he doesn’t get offspring. This ensures that her kittens are from a stronger stock.
