Monogamy in nature. 10 animals of a single partner for life

While this is in the minority, there are dozens of creatures on the planet whose lives perfectly represent a Shakespearean tragedy. Although many of the specimens sustain their fidelity in factors that are far from romantic, some create affective bonds so strong that the absence of the other can cause their death.

today, in awesome.club, you will believe in love again after meeting the most faithful and romantic species in the animal kingdom. Perhaps, by learning a little about the designs of nature, you will be able to better understand human relationships.

Birds are the masters of eternal love; it is estimated that 90% of them are monogamous. The most intelligent species, as in the case of parrots, are capable of conceiving feelings of passion, jealousy and suffering, in addition to going through fights and reconciliations.

The parrot is one of the most intelligent and social creatures on the planet (some are comparable to the chimpanzee). Most of their species usually choose a mate for life.

They take care of each other and never miss an opportunity to show their affection with kisses and caresses. The lack of a partner can make him sick with grief and even kill him if he is in captivity.

For their elegance and loyalty, they are a symbol of pure and true love. Swans often have long-lasting and even eternal relationships with their partner. The difficulty of finding sexual relations, together with the difficulties of migration, makes them pragmatically remain on the side of their life partners. They can even die of a broken heart if their partner dies: this was the case with the swan Gvidon, from a Russian zoo, who could not bear to live without his beloved companion and died of a major depression.

Despite the rodents’ bad reputation, little field mice make this list by shattering stereotypes with their faithful and lasting relationships. They usually live as a couple for their entire lives, in which one helps the other to care for the young, collect food and build their dens.

The albatross chooses a partner for life, but it takes years to make the final decision, because it wants to make sure it chooses the right one. When the laureate bird with the longest wings in the world finally finds his lover, he declares his undying love by performing acrobatics through the air.

These small primates from Asia and Europe are the most human-like creatures on this list. Both males and females enjoy equal conditions and are very similar in appearance, size and behavior. After meeting each other, both will spend their entire lives accompanying each other, caring for and helping each other in the struggle for survival.

Divorces are also possible in this species; they don’t hesitate to find a new partner if the one they have moves away or isn’t very fertile.

the friendly birds of tuxedo they fight as a couple against all the difficulties that can harm the well-being of their puppies. With dances and songs, they can choose their mate from thousands of penguins and keep the partnership until death.

Although they must sometimes separate to travel in search of food, crossing hundreds of kilometers, they always return to each other.

These semi-aquatic rodents are just as good at building holes as they are stable, long-lasting love relationships. Together, as a couple, they build their dams and nests in the rivers and streams of North America, South America and Eurasia, in which they will dedicate themselves to cooperating with each other for the maintenance of the house and the care of the young.

The Sygnathidae are a family of fish defined by their mysterious fragility, their peculiar rigid bodies, their strange way of swimming and, of course, the fact that the male is the one who goes through the pregnancy process.

Their surreal physical features, coupled with the fact that they are symbols of eternal love, make them the true fairies of the deep. They tend to be monogamous individuals who accompany, care for and fondle their partner for the rest of their lives.

Earlier, it was mentioned that 90% of birds are monogamous, so it should come as no surprise to you that this list is closed with a flourish by one of them. It’s about this mystical nocturnal creature related to magic and wisdom.

The male owl proposes to the female with a cry while offering a delicious dead mouse as a gift; if she accepts, she will say yes with a growl, and then the newlyweds will go together to live happily ever after in the warmth of their nest.

According to writer and scientist Josh Gabbatiss in an article for the BBC, recent studies show that monogamy is in the genes and has as main goals the safety of the offspring and the perpetual proximity of a partner of the opposite sex.

As with humans, even the most faithful individuals can slip if the right conditions are presented, as every living thing on earth has a natural instinct to pass on its genes (and cannot fight it). As Freud maintains: we are all repressed polygamists.

Descartes, in the 17th century, indicated that animals are machines without souls; purely instinctual beings and incapable of conceiving feelings as human beings. Do you think that after knowing this list you can refute the French father of analytic geometry and modern philosophy?
