Mates For Life

Tweet

I have known that swans, sea horses, and turtle doves mate for life. Gray wolves do as well and in a 2019 study done in Idaho, scientists found that the longer the dominant pair of a given pack stays together the better the odds are of their offspring's odds of survival. This is likely because the parents are able to share valuable information over time. Bald eagles, according to scientists, have a less than 5% rate of 'divorce'. These birds spend much of the year together and have a long-term commitment to nest building with the males willing to undertake incubation and feeding duties. Other animals that mate for life are: Eurasian Beavers, Shingle back Lizards, Coyotes, Atlantic Puffins, Prairie Voles, Kirk's Dik-Diks, White Seahorses, Gentoo Penguins, and Albatrosses.
