Here, i investigate factors related to (i) spatial constraints (habitat limitation, mate availability), (ii) time constraints (breeding synchrony, length of breeding season), (iii) need for parental care, and (iv) genetic compatibility, to see what support can be found in different taxa regarding the importance of these factors in. I see some answers claiming that a lion would not know who their parents or siblings are. During the breeding season, both male and female porcupines rub sticks against their genitals.
