Sky Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 so like Angel's threads but you can ask me about anything related to animals, except anything to do with evolution because I don't do evolution. So if you want to know something but don't want to scour-cream the internet, look no further, I shall do the scour-creaming for you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These will fly into your face at full speed, so you'll feel the difference. Wikipedia, unfortunately, does not have a face. @wikipedia (angel) can confirm.

What even... well, for starters, most adult mosquito hawks (that's what my family calls them) have such short lifespans that they don't eat, so food is never a problem. Second, females mate as soon as they are adults, so if they lived to adulthood, they're probably gonna have a chance to reproduce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mosquito hawk was probably originally called a daddy long legs too because they have quite long legs, and may look similar to the arachnid species of the same nickname from afar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestic cats aren't monogamous. When a female is in heat, the toms who want to mate with her will fight, and the winner has the right to mate with the female, though the female will reject him at first (then accept him). The female can even be impregnated several times during her heat by different males and produce a litter of kittens that have different fathers. Anyways, really any toms around during the female's heat can come and mate with her. Is there anything else you'd like to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah I do, would the male stick around with the female after mating? I heard though the male doesn’t care much for the cubs.. it’s one of the sad things about cats that are my favorite animals, they don’t romance for long or even help the female care for kits.

It varies. I've seen articles about toms helping out with kittens, while if I look up the question, they say that the toms will only sometimes stick around, but only to keep other males from mating with the female. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I see, I actually like how the father helps out with the kittens! Since they would be domesticated it would probably be a lot different than in the wild.. and the male protecting the female is my favorite too, I think Silver would count on both of these ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
