Another bird species known to mate for life is the sandhill crane. Sandhill cranes create an indestructible bond with their partners that lasts until one of the partners dies. Then, the single one will seek out a new partner, because let’s face it, no one likes to be alone.
When sandhill cranes start migrating in March, the single ones will try to find their forever partner. According to the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), males and females usually connect by using unison calling. Most birds will find their mate by the time the migration north is complete.
Then, the two love birds will start to create a nest and a family together. Love with a happy ending, don’t you agree?
8. Seahorses
According to Amanda Vincent, a marine biologist at the University of British Columbia and founder of the conservation group Project Seahorse, these tiny creatures come together each morning and do their daily dance routine that makes their bond even stronger.
Seahorses like to flirt with potential partners by touching their tails and dancing together. Also, females are known to be very jealous and usually compete with others to get a male’s attention.
As data from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service shows, many sea creatures are known to mate for life, but what’s even more fascinating about seahorses, is that the male is the one that gives birth to the little ones. During the mating season, the female lays the eggs in the male’s pouch, and he fertilizes them internally. The tiny seahorses will be released in the water after the eggs hatch in his pouch.
