Do female animals have same periodical dischrge as women?

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.

*Pondering* Yes there are female ones just as perhaps up to 50% of packs are lead by a female Alpha. Little is known about lone wolves or ronin wolves (as named in popular culture). The proverbial "lone wolf" is the runt, the outsider, ostracized from the pack. This wolf may wander ten kilometers (six miles) or 1000 kilometers (600 miles), passing cautiously through the domains of other packs, If it is very lucky and finds a mate, and if there is enough territory available for them, they might be able to start a new pack of their own.\nIn large packs of wolves, there is often a lowest-ranking member who becomes the focus of the pack's social aggression. Referred to by behaviorists as the "omega" wolf, this animal seems to be a scapegoat and may actually become an outright outcast.\nLone wolves have no social territory and rarely scent-mark or howl.\nThe reasons a wolf may leave a pack (besides the above), include the base fact that packs are relatively small (8-15) and members do break away to either form or be adopted into another pack, loss of Alpha social status, growing old and unable to fullfill the needs of the pack (wolves do not eat their own, if one is old they are turned out to live or die as they may).

No. Besides humans, only other great apes exhibit menstrual cycles, in contrast to the estrus cycle of most mammalian species.

It is, but not by much.\nIn reptiles, the warmth of the hatching is what makes the decision on whether the hatchling will be male or female.\nThat is to say, on warmer occasions, there will be more males than females, but on cooler occasions, there will be more females.  (Reptile eggs depend on the weather for successful progeny, since they don't sit on their eggs).  Some have speculated that this may have been the reason for the extinction of the dinosaurs.  (my own view is more pragmatic.  I think dinosaurs are still amoung us, just in different forms).\n\nAlso, I've read about a study done on women who have a more acid diet prior to concieving as compared to women who have a alkaline diet.  The ones with an acidic environment tend to concieve girls and the ones with an alkaline environment tend to concieve boys, although this has been complicated by when in the woman's cycle all the coital activity takes place.  For instance, if coital activity takes place before ovulation, the "X" (female) carrying sperm live longer, and tend to survive to make it to the egg.  Whereas a "Y" carrying sperm has more success at the moment of ovulation.  (Ovulation is approximately 3 day window of opprotunity)\n\nAnother factor to consider is the resilience of the female, which is demonstrated in the ratio of survival in premies.  A prematurely born female has nearly double the chance of survival than a male.

i don't think this depends on gender...it is a question of whether they (male or female) have common decency!

The quick answer is NO.  There are two types of mammals when it comes to the menstruation cycle: Menstrual, like humans and some primates, and Oestrous, like most marine mammals, etc. In oestrous mammals the luteal phase is greatly reduced compared to the menstrual mammals. So there is little or no proliferation of the endometrium (i.e. lining of the uterus) and therefore no precipitous shedding of the endometrium.

females actually do produce pheremones; it is responsible for the synchronization of menstrual cycles

I don't know for sure, but I reckon it's mediated by the primitive men's hunting expeditions, which they would have to synchronize with the phases of the Moon. So the men would mostly be away hunting, except in new Moon. Those women whose ovulations were synchronized with the men's comings and goings would have a reproductive advantage. The synchronization can't of course be a conscious decision (unlike the men's decision to go out hunting), but it may have been brought about by male pheromones (or maybe it was the result of natural selection, given the reproductive advantage?)\nThis does not explain why different women ovulate at different times and have cycles of somewhat different lengths, but if women stay closely together for some time, their cycles do converge, I think.\nIn modern life, women are not in synch with the moon exactly, but that's probably because there is no longer the men's hunting cycle to keep everything in synch.\nThe near-equality of the female and lunar cycles is probably not just a coincidence.

Yes definately. Woman was created from man. That is why the word "man" is in the name "woman"!! The male species is more intelligent and dominant than woMAN!!!

It's all speculation, but in general, larger animals have deeper voices. Male humans are about 20% bigger than females, on average.

We are classified as mammals.  Mammals feed their young by the use of breast milk.  All male and female animals have nipples (what was God thinking?), but only the females have the hormones and additional physical items necessary to activate the lactation process.\n\nGender differneces stem from the X/Y genetic differences.  The rest of the body (including nipples) is controlled by genes elsewhere.\n\nStranger questions would be why do some women have Adam's apples or beards.  Nobody knows.

They're a mammalian characteristic.  Gender differentiation doesn't override the basic template for mammals.  Male/female is chromosomal.  Other physical differences are mainly hormonal.

I believe the female frog is bigger. You see males bigger than females is unique among mammals. There are ofcourse exceptions. But in insects, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians (such as a frog), it is the females that are generally larger. Also males will engage in most of the vocalizations to attract females. This is the "ribit" croaking a frog makes. Females will engage in a reciprocal call but only if they are in the area, it's usually the males or groups of males.

the same way dogs do it.

Higher primates are the only group of animals that have a menstrual discharge - other animals reorganise their ovarian tissue through the cycle but don't get rid of it.  So whales don't technically have a "menstrual cycle" measured from one mense to the next, but an ovarian cycle which measures form one heat to the next, as is the case in most mammals.  The two are NOT the same thing - our menstrual cycle does not correspond with our fertile period whilst "heat" does.  A dog's bloody discharge during heat is due to leaky capillaries in the ovarian wall during pro oestrus, contains blood and serous fluid, and is a trait peculiar to the dog.

absolutely...hermaphrodites occur in just about any living organism that has differentiated genders...it's caused by a mix-up in the genetic pattern that determines physical gender differences during gestation/maturation...

[edit] Courtship and mating\nUsually, the instinct to pass on genetic material drives young wolves away from their birth packs, leading them to seek out mates and territories of their own. Dispersals occur at all times during the year, typically involving wolves who reached sexual maturity during the previous breeding season. It takes two such dispersals from two different packs for the process to take place, as dispersing wolves from the same maternal pack tend not to mate.[15] Once two dispersing wolves meet and begin traveling together, they immediately begin the process of seeking out territory, preferentially doing so in time for the next mating season. The bond that forms between such wolves often lasts for the shorter of the two lifetimes, with few exceptions.[16]\n\nDuring the mating season, breeding wolves become extremely affectionate with one another in anticipation for the female's ovulation cycle. Overall, pack tension rises, as each mature wolf begins to feel the urge to mate. In fact, during this time, the alpha male and alpha female may be forced to aggressively prevent other wolves from mating with each other.[15] Under normal circumstances, a pack can only support one litter per year, so this type of dominance behavior is beneficial in the long run.[15]\n\nWhen the alpha female goes into estrus, a phenomenon that occurs once per year and lasts 5–14 days,[17] she and her mate will spend an increased amount of time in seclusion. Pheromones in the female's urine and the swelling of her vulva let the male know when his mate is in heat. She will be unreceptive for the first few days of estrus, during which time she sheds the lining of her uterus. Once the female begins to ovulate, mating occurs.\n\nThe male wolf will mount the female firmly from behind. After achieving coitus, the two form a copulatory tie once the male's bulbus glandis— an erectile tissue located near the base of the canine penis— swells and the female's vaginal muscles tighten. Ejaculation is induced by the thrusting of the male's pelvis and the undulation of the female's cervix. The two become physically inseparable for anywhere from 10–30 minutes, during which period the male will ejaculate multiple times.[18][19] After the initial ejaculation, the male may lift one of his legs over the female such that they are standing end-to-end; this is believed to be a defensive measure.[19] The mating ordeal is repeated many times throughout the female's brief ovulation period, which occurs once per year per female, unlike female dogs, with whom estrus usually occurs twice per year.
