This article describes how female animals of many species are choosier than males when it comes to mating. The author provides examples from birds like peacocks and magpie-robins, mammals like baboons, and even insects like dragonflies. The females often pick males based on displays of strength, stamina, or resourcefulness. In some cases, the females will even kill the male after mating or reject strong males in favor of weaker ones. However, there are also examples of monogamy and lifelong partnerships in the animal kingdom.
