These animals are elegant both outside and inside. Their mating rituals, touching courtships, and lovemaking are more romantic than Hollywood melodramas.
Surprisingly, the young of the seahorses are carried by the male – in a special pouch on his chest where the female lays her eggs during mating. The partner does not seek a new mate.
The male reverently cares for his chosen mate for nearly a year. He presents her with the prey he has captured while hunting, and carefully builds a comfortable house.
When the couple has offspring, the mother devotes all her time to the little ones, while the father takes care of all the needs of the family. Nature has endowed the cutest pandas with all the virtues at once. They are modest and shy, caring and gentle, and loyal to their lifelong companions.
Unlike many other animal species, the male panda treats the female with respect, both before mating and after the birth of her young. Foxes are among the 5% of mammals that form monogamous pairs. Foxes are good parents.
Males are actively involved in rearing their young and also take care of their mates even before the young are born. They improve dens and even catch fleas from females.
For black vultures, loyalty is a family affair. Not only do they live in pairs for many years, but they also nest together, and brood their eggs together. Deceiving one of their companions can enrage the whole herd. Yes, these birds are not as pretty as swans, but they show the same love and devotion.
