  2. Menstruation (mammal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menstruation_(mammal)

    Most female mammals have an estrous cycle, yet only ten primate species, four bat species, the elephant shrew, and one known species of spiny mouse have a menstrual cycle. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] As these groups are not closely related, it is likely that four distinct evolutionary events have caused menstruation to arise.

  3. Continuous breeder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_breeder

    Continuous breeders are animal species that can breed or mate throughout the year. This includes humans and apes (bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons), who can have a child at any time of year. In continuous breeders, females are sexually receptive during estrus, at which time ovarian follicles are maturing and ovulation can

  4. Sexual swelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_swelling

    The position of swellings can heavily influence the location of male focus during courtship, and of eventual penetrance. Among chimpanzees, bonobos, baboons, and many Old World monkey species, it is common for swellings to concentrate in the perineal, perianal, and coccygeal regions, rather than more ventrally in the area of the vulva.

  5. Koolakamba - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koolakamba

    The ape in the picture had features that seemed to belong to both the gorilla and the chimpanzee. [5] Scientifically, it has not been determined if the Koolakamba is a subspecies of chimpanzee, a gorilla-chimpanzee hybrid, or perhaps simply a product of individual variation. Yerkes reported several "unclassifiable apes" with features ...

  6. Estrous cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrous_cycle

    Thus, a cycle may be short, totaling approximately 3 weeks. [21] Horses mate in spring and summer; autumn is a transition time, and anestrus occurs during winter. A feature of the fertility cycle of horses and other large herd animals is that it is usually affected by the seasons. The number of hours daily that light enters the eye of the ...

  7. Non-reproductive sexual behavior in animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-reproductive_sexual...

    Animal non-reproductive sexual behavior encompasses sexual activities that non-human animals participate in which do not lead to the reproduction of the species. Although procreation continues to be the primary explanation for sexual behavior in animals, recent observations on animal behavior have given alternative reasons for the engagement in sexual activities by animals.

  8. Humanzee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanzee

    Chimpanzees and humans match on 1, 2p, 2q, 5, 7–10, 12, 16, and Y as well. Some older references include Y as a match among gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans, but chimpanzees, bonobos, and humans have recently been found to share a large transposition from chromosome 1 to Y not found in other apes. [16] [6] [8] [9]

  9. Monogamy in animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monogamy_in_animals

    Gorillas, which have a polygynous mating system, have smaller testes than other primates. Humans , which have a socially monogamous mating system , have moderately sized testes. [ citation needed ] The moderate amounts of sexual non-monogamy in humans may result in a low to moderate amount of sperm competition.
