How do elephants, zebras, giraffes, and sharks have sex?

Question

how do these animals have sex? They are never shown on national geographic and what it looks like exactly.

Answer 1

OK. Elephants, zebras and giraffes do it "doggy style" where the male mounts the female from the rear and the female is still standing on all 4 legs.

With sharks the male shark swims up underneath the female and they sort of tangle together and does it similar to a twisted "missionary" position. They do not lay egg sacs they have live births.

Answer 2

Elephants mate with the male behind like most mammals. The bull (male) elephant is larger than the female which enables him to mount her from behind and insert his penis.
Elephants become sexually mature between 8-13 years old. Males begin to mate from 15-18 years old. Males mate approximately once a year. Females usually have a single calf every 2 1/2 - 4 years. The gestation period is 22 months.
Elephants may mate until the age of 50.


Zebras have sex in the same way as horses and elephants, from behind.

He signals his readiness to mate by tapping on the female's hind leg with his foreleg or resting his chin on her back. He usually follows her, sometimes for hours, until she allows him to mount her. The female Giraffe will spread her two font legs outwards so that her rear end is slightly higher and lower her neck and head to the floor and again the male will mount her from behind.

Sharks Mating has rarely been observed in sharks. The smaller catsharks often mate with the male curling around the female. In less flexible species the two sharks swim parallel to each other while the male inserts a clasper into the female's oviduct. Females in many of the larger species have bite marks that appear to be a result of a male grasping them to maintain position during mating. The bite marks may also come from courtship behaviour: the male may bite the female to show his interest. In some species, females have evolved thicker skin to withstand these bites.

Sharks have a different reproductive strategy from most fish. Instead of producing huge numbers of eggs and fry (99.9% of which never reach sexual maturity in fishes which use this strategy), sharks normally produce around a dozen pups (blue sharks have been recorded as producing 135 and some species produce as few as two).[16] These pups are either protected by egg cases or born live. No shark species are known to provide post-natal parental protection for their young, but females have a hormone that is released into their blood during the pupping season that apparently keeps them from feeding on their young

Answer 3

Like dogs, if you've ever seen them....I saw elephants having sex on National Geographic,,,,funny,,,,the male hops up on the rear of the female and let's loose.

Answer 4

Given that giraffes are enormously tall creatures and it could be a long fall happening. As for zebras, i suppose you might need to seize them and wrestle them nonetheless. Anything's feasible, once I used to be somewhat kid I used to check out to trip my negative canine like a pony.

Answer 5

its the same as any other animal.

boy enters part a into girls slot b.

usually the boy is on top in nature. sharks swim under eachother belly to belly like most fish.

edit: comment to all the shark and egg comments.

sharks actually lay eggs, and give birth (different species do it differently) they still have sex to fertalise the egg or make babysharks

Answer 6

One thing for sure, sharks do not lay eggs, they bear live young. They have sex the good old fashioned way.

Answer 7

The males of those species all have conventional penises and the rest I'll leave up to your imagination.

Answer 8

eh, the first 3 do it like other animals, and sharks lay egg sacks like salmon.

Answer 9

same as dogs, cats and humans. The outie goes into the innie.

Answer 10

Very carefully.
