Why does it seem like all videos of animals and their kids are just the mom and the kids? Are most animal fathers just there to mate and move on?
In: Biology
Another scenario where the father sticks around is pretty much any herd animal. So you have a single dominant male who is the father of all the children in the group. He is protecting his offspring by protecting the group as a whole, even if he isn’t directly interacting with any of the young. For example lions, gorillas, cattle, elephant seals.
