Most animals are promiscuous creatures. A talk about the birds and the bees and some chimps...


When it comes to mating, most animals behave like, well, animals. 

More than 90 percent of the animal kingdom enjoys multiple partners – and some species are downright promiscuous. Queen bees, for example, may have as many as 40 partners. The male bees don’t get jealous because after mating with the queen, they die. Bonobo chimpanzees love to monkey around. They get quite creative with positions and tend to have several partners, both male and female.

The list of monogamous animals is a short one and includes swans, turtle doves, black vultures and termites. Wolves are also usually faithful to their mate. A typical wolf pack consists of a father, a mother and their young, much like a traditional human family.
