When wolves mate they become locked for half an hour? 😬😬😬😬😬 daaaaaayum nature

[@ireneinbarcelona]

It's similar with other animals.

[@voodjin]

locked how?

[@sparkssparkygreenis3334]

@@voodjin like canine dogs they can lock together for over a half hour or more. I was a licensed breeder so l saw this many times. The male p*nis will literally double in size once stimulated. Once this happens the females muscles contract in the v*gina. I’m censoring this as l’m trying to not have the comment removed. Hence until basically they lock also known as the “breeding tie” when the tip of the males p*nis swells up and is gripped by the contracting muscles of the female’s v*gina. Hence it prevents them from being separated, which creates usually a successful breeding. I hope this explains it without being to graphic. 😉

[@l33tsaber]

@@voodjin The tissue at the base of the male's genitals swells up into a sort of bulb. This kind of tie occurs in most other canids, as well as in fossa and black-footed ferrets. Nature's weird as heck, and we haven't even gotten into spotted hyenas (which are feliformes).

He may have a chance to transmit his genetic material to the next generation, but his cubs would be raised in the pack. Win-win deal? Members of the pack at the lower ranking would not have much better chances like him. Individual vs. group. A unique aspect of their life may be captured here!

[@footfault1941]

It's very curious for a female of a pack to behave in such a way. It genetically makes a sense, but naturally she's unaware of it. What may be behind her action? Exceptional or relatively frequent? Did a lone wolf leave his message, sent marks, beforehand everywhere or systematically? Slight miscalculated in the end though!

[@kchimura1940]

Does nobody know that the alpha female will kill the pups, if not her daughter too? They make it sound like it’s going to be a big happy family. Very rarely does the alpha female take the pups as her own. Either way it’s not going to be a good time for the daughter. It will either be death, or watching her mother forcefully take her own pups away as she sinks to the bottom of the pack.
