Everyone just seems so stressed at this time of year!<br /><br />Philip,<br />I guess females have more to lose (because they invest more in producing young), so they need to keep the males firmly in line. I'm sure you're used to it by now!<br /><br />Diane,<br />Nice to hear from you.<br /><br />Life in Egypt,<br />Ah, you'll find all the nitty gritty here!<br /><br />Elva,<br />It makes me thankful I'm growing old, and can escape all the hype!mainly mongoose (Lynda)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05917384766182752791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767913719381352936.post-79239352638823010562010-09-05T07:11:19.563+02:002010-09-05T07:11:19.563+02:00Sex is such hard work!

The same thing happens in June/July with the Impalas and the male come out of that six week ordeal looking haggard, worn and downright pleased it is over for another year. LOL!! Well at least that is what I think.<br /><br />Watching baboons mate is funny too when the young ones try their luck and can hardly reach where they are supposed to. :) I love mating season and seeing the tricks all the males get up to. This is the best time to be in the bush and the next step is eagerly awaiting the first births. How wonderful to live in the bush and see all of this.<br /><br />Thanks Lynda, your post brings back such wonderful scenes which I recall.SAPhotographs (Joan)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15993474141491808257noreply@blogger.com
