Examples of animals that reproduce sexually

The animals that reproduce sexually are those that create a new being by combining genetic material, which begins with a process known as meiosis. It takes the union of a male and female gamete to give rise to fertilization.
Currently, a large percentage of animals reproduce sexually, although you can also get species that can use both types of reproduction (sexual and asexual).

Among the numerous groups of animals that use this type of reproduction we have:
Mammals that reproduce sexually:
Except for a few exceptions, most mammals are viviparous , for their reproduction the male must insert his erect penis into the external opening of the female (vulva). The female of the mammal has a modification of the sweat glands that have become mammary glands capable of secreting milk for the purpose of feeding her young.

Birds that reproduce sexually:
In the case of birds, before the fertilization process, a process called courtship must be carried out. Birds have separate sexes, therefore the female and male must unite for fertilization to occur. Most birds take care of their eggs and their hatching.
Examples of birds that reproduce sexually include:
- Rooster
- Turkey
- Partridge
- Pheasant
- Ducks
- Geese
- Common swan
- Black Swan
- Common goose
- Cinnamon jar
- Wigeon
- Common mallard
- Mallard duck
- Tailed mallard
- Brown porrón
- Turpial
- Canary
- Parakeet
- Common flamingo
- Cristofué
- Tile
- dove
- Turkish turtle dove
- Hummingbird
- Quail
- Ribbed tick
- Senegalese cucal
- Turaco from Guinea
- Stork
- Vulture
Fish that reproduce sexually:
A large percentage of fish reproduce by external fertilization and their reproduction is oviparous. In the process of external fertilization, the male must expel his sperm on the eggs that are expelled by the female at the appropriate time. Some species of fish make nests and others leave their eggs at the whim of the ocean current.
In some fish a rather curious process occurs;Â certain species can change their sex throughout their lives, this is known as sequential hermaphroditism.
It also happens that in some species of fish it is the female that lays the eggs inside the male using the abdomen or the tail as input. Some examples of fish that reproduce sexually include:
- Eel
- Anchovy
- Leech
- electric eel
- Smooth needle
- Green needle
- Apistogram
- Sandbox
- armed
- Armed yellow
- Common arming
- Tuna

- Elephant fish
- Clown fish
- Blowfish
- Parrotfish

- Queen parrot fish
Reptiles that reproduce sexually:
All members of the reptilia group reproduce by internal fertilization, that is, the male deposits your sperm inside the female. All male reptiles have a structure similar to the penis, which in biology is called the hemipenis. After fertilization occurs, the female covers the embryos with various membranes and a leathery shell.
Examples of reptiles that reproduce sexually include:
- Green lizard
- Lizard
- Monitor lizard
- Flying lizard
- Komodo dragon
- Anaconda
- Gila monster
- Chameleon
- Snake
- Boa
- Piton
- Rattlesnake
- Egyptian cobra

- Nile crocodile
- Marine Crocodile
- Galapago tortoise
- Morrocoy or land turtle
- Stupid turtle
- Hawksbill turtle
- Cantabrian viper
- Burmese python
- Iranian crocodile
- green Iguana
- Rhinoceros iguana.
Insects that reproduce sexually:
Most of the reproduction in insects is of the sexual type; In specific cases, some types of insects can reproduce through parthenogenesis, through the development of unfertilized female cells .
In many social insects, the so-called workers cannot reproduce, since their sexual organs are atrophied.
