The male giraffe approaches the female and waits for her to urinate. After this, he quickly tests the urine of the female giraffe by taking it in his mouth. Then he gets an indication whether the female is ready for sex or not. The male gets the idea from the pheromones coming out of the body of the female giraffe. In a study, new information has been given about the sex life of giraffe.
Giraffe sniffs the female genitalia first
A study published in the journal ‘Animals’ states that male giraffes taste female urine to know the right time for sex. According to this, the bull i.e. Male Giraffe motivates the female first to urinate. For this he smells or touches the genitals of the female. If the female also moves forward understanding the gesture of the male, then she urinates for about 5 seconds and at the same time the male giraffe moves its mouth forward. After this, keeping the urine in the mouth, he understands whether the female is ready for sex or not. (Photo courtesy from Twitter)
