Abstract
- This article explores the various techniques that animals use to attract potential mates. It explains that animals have evolved based on sexual selection, where individuals with traits that best suit the needs of a potential partner are selected to mate with. These traits often indicate an animal's ability to survive and are passed down to the next generation. The article discusses how animals use appearance, songs, displays of affection, and even gifts to attract mates. It also highlights the role of pheromones and chemical signals in mate selection. The article provides examples from different species, including hyenas, whales, birds, chameleons, spiders, and hippos. [Extracted from the article]
