Courtship Rituals Mammals go through rituals to find proper mates. The ritual is different for each animal kind or species. They use their large antlers to threaten other males and attract females.
Males leave scents that attract females by urinating on the ground, plants, and themselves.
Weasel males search for females and play rather rough games with them. Wherever they move, female squirrels give off scents that attract several males on the one day when mating will be successful. The strongest male gets to mate the female. Among rabbits and hares, a male and female run together and jump around each other. The actions look something like a dance.
