pregnancy tests. Puberty or sexual maturity in the female dog usually occurs around six months of age. The smaller breeds tend to go into oestrus or "heat" earlier and some females can have their first "heat" cycle as early as four months of age. Canine reproduction" is the process of sexualreproduction in domestic dogs. ... There is a tremendous variability in the maturation age between breeds, and even within a breed of dog. The first stage of the reproductive cycle is proestrus, in which eggs in the ovaries begin to mature and estrogen levels begin to rise.
The time in the female cat
reproduction cycle when she is most likely to mate is called the oestrus cycle, commonly referred to as being "in heat". This period of time is usually four to seven days, but can last longer. ... Felinereproduction is quite a unique process
External reproduction
A rooster fertilizes the unlaid eggs by mating
with the female. ... Chickens come in two sexes, roosters or cocks and hens. The rooster inseminates the hen, which then produces fertilized eggs. She lays the eggs and, if allowed to sit on them, will sit for 21 days more or less, at which time the eggs hatch out chicks
All frogs reproduce sexually, and all hatch from
eggs. In almost all frogs, egg fertilization happens outside the female's body instead of inside. The female releases her eggs and the male releases his sperm at the same time. Eagles reproduce by engaging in a courtship process that includes cartwheeling and circling in the air, copulation and nesting, where both the male and female eagle builds the nest. Eagles typically mate for life, and they usually use the same nest site year after year as long as they have successfully produced and protected offspring at the location.
Crocodiles offer nests of eggs. The females
will dig at least 10 feet into the ground. They want to make a burrow where they can deposit their eggs and prevent other predators from consuming them. They will hide the entrance as well so that they can get back in there when they need to. The females are often seen with the eggs in their mouths. They aren’t eating them, but cracking the shells. By doing so they will help their young to be able to get out of the protective shell. She will also carry them into the water with her mouth.
Lizard reproductive strategies vary; they may
be:
oviparous - laying eggs (most lizards)
ovoviviparous - the eggs are retained within
the female until birth of live young (all monitors, most
iguanids, water dragons, all geckos, most chameleons)
viviparous - live-bearing, with a placental type
of circulatory connection (blue-tongued skinks,
Male snakes have a hemipenis that is inserted into the
female's cloaca. Depending on the species of snake either live birth or egg laying occurs. Live birth happens in 2 different ways. Viviparous involves the offspring developing inside the female without involving eggs. This is how boids give birth. Buds are now constrictors like the anaconda and red tailed now. Ovoviviparous involves the eggs kept inside the female where they hatch and then birth out of the female. Rattlesnakes are such a species.
