Macaques Researchers believe that macaques have sex for pleasure because their sexual behavior is similar to humans. For example, macaques experience elevated heart rates and vaginal spasms when mating.
Not only do animals enjoy the deed, they also likely have orgasms, Bekoff said. They are difficult to measure directly but by watching facial expressions, body movements and muscle relaxation, many scientists have concluded that animals reach a pleasurable climax, he said.
The animal that has the most pleasure during mating or sexual intercourse is the Bonobo. It would be safe to say that Bonobos are the most sex-crazed animals that enjoy having sex to their fullest. Also, their sexual behavior and activities are insanely identical to humans.
Really wild orgasms Not only do animals enjoy the deed, they also likely have orgasms, he said. They are difficult to measure directly but by watching facial expressions, body movements and muscle relaxation, many scientists have concluded that animals reach a pleasurable climax, he said.
Up until now, scientists have been aware that dolphins possess clitorises (much like all female mammals), but they weren't sure whether they experienced pleasure. Research now confirms that the animals do experience pleasure when having sex, due to their “large” clitorises.
Oral sex has been observed throughout the animal kingdom, from dolphins to primates.
a) Dogs and cats are not like people when it comes to sex. They don't cycle the same way and there's no evidence, behaviorally or otherwise, that sexual activity brings them any specific pleasure akin to orgasm, for example.
All female mammals have a clitoris, the sole purpose of which is to react to sexual stimulation, and presumably this stimulation has evolved to be pleasurable for most species.

Black Vultures
They are believed to mate for life and stay with their partners all year round. Black vultures work as the perfect tag team when it is time to care for their eggs – as one incubates, the other feeds, and they swap duties until their baby is born.
Both red and gray foxes are monogamous creatures that mate for life. According to the Wildlife Rescue League, the animals tend to live in small groups that include bonded partners, as well as young and single females who help care for the little ones.

Why do cats scream when they mate? Cats scream when they mate because of painful scratching from a male cat's barbed reproductive organs. Male cats may also yell in response to the female cat's noises. The noise is a natural reaction to stimulation critical for ovulation and getting pregnant.
Australian wildlife mating is not all rough animal behaviour; some natives also display a range of gentler traits. The vulnerable species the black glossy cockatoo pairs for life, which can be up to 80 years. "During that time they will stay monogamous to one another," Ms Eccleston said.
We're sure some of these are bound to surprise you! Beavers are one of the few mammals that mate for a lifetime, only choosing to find another mate if their original mate dies. But here's where it gets interesting: there are two types of beavers, European beavers and North American beavers.
We share the vast majority of those genes with the mammalian species, but only humans (and occasionally our close primate relatives like chimps and bonobos) kiss.
Dogs are are friendly and faithful to human beings because of their genes, finds study.
But octopuses aren't the only ones who kill their sex partners. Female praying mantises often kill their mates, especially if they're hungry, and within certain species of spiders, the males will actually offer themselves as a meal for their newly-impregnated partners.
Most animals that procreate through parthenogenesis are small invertebrates such as bees, wasps, ants, and aphids, which can alternate between sexual and asexual reproduction. Parthenogenesis has been observed in more than 80 vertebrate species, about half of which are fish or lizards.
The quokka, a small marsupial native to Australia, is one such example of a species vulnerable to extinction in the country's harsh surroundings. Known as the “happiest animal in the world” due to its cute and friendly appearance, these creatures are now only found in a few isolated forests and small islands.
Arguably the most famous Aussie animal of all, the kangaroo can be spotted just about anywhere across the country, but how can we go past a location named after these iconic creatures?
Australia's most famous native animals are by far its marsupials. Koalas, kangaroos, and wombats are some of the nation's most globally recognised and loved animals.
