I know some animals die after mating but is there any animal that openly kill themselves?

no. Some animals such as penguins will commit suicide by going into water that they know is plagued with predators. Also studies have been done with cats, dogs, and other animals. They usually get depressed and there is actually medication for these animals so they will not commit suicide.

Sheep and goats will attempt to mate with each other but this mating usually does not result in offspring.  The outcome, when it does occur, is known as a sheep-goat hybrid.  One example is the so-called "Toast of Botswana"\nThere is also an animal known as a geep.  It is part goat and part sheep but it is produced by artificially combining the embryos of the two animals.  It is not produced naturally.

Animals that lay eggs which then hatch are called oviparous.  Animals that give birth to live young are called viviparous.  Animals that create eggs, but keep them internally so that they hatch before birth are called ovoviviparous.\n\nMonotremes are mammals that lay eggs, such as the Platypus and five species of Echidna.  They also produce milk, so live birth and milk production are not equivalent.

I know you're probably needing a more direct answer, but there are _loads_ of information on polyandrous animals. Try using Google Scholar for serious scientific papers:\nhttp://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=polyandry+evolution

It is forbidden to intentionally kill oneself. The person will repeat their act over and over in hellfires.

You need to clarify your question a bit.\n\nThe animal that kills most humans is the Malaria parasite.\n\nShrews kill and eat their body weight in insects every day.\n\nArmy ants kill anything in their path that cannot get out of the way.\n\nHumans probably kill more people and animals through direct and indirect actions than any other animal.

It would be considered suicide. When one willfully kills there self that's what it is. Good question to ponder though I believe if l were dying a slow and painful death l would want to find a way to do it

Yes they can, rarely happens though!\n\nThis brings up another question...if at cat is swallowing a mouse and chokes to death, who killed who?

Animals definitely. Man is a social animal but is not doin anything humane... killing all life form from this earth for his own gain... even killing himself through wars etc. A kind of animal never kills its own race.. eg a dear never kills a dear. This is although not valid to carnivores, who have a rather very beastly lifestyle. Mostly animals live in harmony. The best way to answer wud be to tell u that even a lion/a tiger never hunts when hes not hungry. man (hunts) when hes hungry but he is never contended... so keeps on hunting.

yes but they can be fatal why do you want to? you should probably get some help. if you die I'll kill you

Nope what about about the lions tigers & bears & even fish kills other animals for food! Think about that.

Pigs do not mate for life. However wild geese do.

yes they are aroused, but not by the same things as us. Yes they have the same mechanical processes as we do for an orgasm.  Although I'm sure they don't have the emotional hangups that we do.  And dolphins aren't the only other animals that have sex for recreation.  There is a primate called the Bonobo that pretty much has sex all the time. Male-female, same sex, masturbation....whatever, they don't care.

A precise answer is difficult to give because many nations do not keep accurate records of cause of death, and some deaths may go misdiagnosed or undiscovered.\n\nBy far, the most dangerous animal in Africa is the mosquito, with malaria killing around one million people a year, but I suspect that is not the answer you are looking for (although it's the correct one).\n\nTo determine the most dangerous vertebrate wildlife animal, the results from Zimbabwe for 2005 can be illuminating.\n\nCrocodiles were the top man killer, with 13 deaths attributed to the big reptiles.\n\nElephants were close behind, with 12 people killed, mostly trying to protect their crops from the hungry herbivores.\n\nBuffalo (like the Cape Buffalo, not the Bison of North America) trampled and killed one person, and one person was also killed by hippopotamus.\n\nLions took as many as 17 cattle, but there were no fatal attacks on humans.\n\nNote that this does not include domestic animals.  In the United States alone, horses and dogs account for hundreds of deaths a year, and cattle, pigs and other farm animals also cause numerous injuries and death.

I would say C. The animals that died were weaker than the animals that survived. Their deaths might have occured because they did not possess the genes that enabled them to survive. The wildebeests that survived had adaptations that allowed them to better adapt to the environment.\n\nHowever, it could also be B. Perhaps the animals that died were just old and died of natural causes.\n\nIn my opinion, this question is poorly worded.

It varies greatly from animal to animal. Smaller mammals, such as cats, have a somewhat similar discharge following a period of being "in heat". But many animals exhibit mechanisms with no resemblance to the human counterpart. Snakes, for example, undergo a prolonged period of molting, shedding layer after layer of skin until they occasionally die of exhaustion and malnutrition, or burst into flame. Many species of bird, chickens included, lay eggs upon reaching maturity, even when there is no mate to fertilize them. This, however, is widely regarded as a sin in the animal kingdom, and is condemned by the bird pope.
