Mating Behavior


Mating behavior refers to the behaviors animals demonstrate or the characteristics that animals have that are used to attract mates to reproduce with. The type of courtship depends on the specific animal. Some animals have mating calls while others put on elaborate displays. This Anole lizard in the photo above is using the display method by puffing out its throat to attract female lizards. It will also engage in a mating dance that consists of push ups and head bobbing.
