Animals
Mating System -
Monogamy is one of several mating systems observed in animals. The amount of social monogamy in animals varies across taxa, with over 90 percent of birds engaging in social monogamy but only 3 percent of mammals engaging in social monogamy. The amount of sexual monogamy appears quite rare in the animal kingdom. It is becoming clear that even animals that are socially monogamous engage in extra-pair copulations.[1] Animal sexual behavior takes many different forms, even within the same species. ...

These species did not inherit social monogamy from a common ancestor. Instead, social monogamy has evolved independently in different species. The evolution of monogamy refers to the natural history of mating systems in which species reproduce by forming pairs to raise offspring. ...
