There are several contenders for the animals that have the most sex, says Sanjida O\u2019Connell, from rodents to lions. <\/p>
It\u2019s a hung jury, but several members of the animal kingdom have racked up impressive results when it comes to sex, says Sanjida O\u2019Connell<\/i>. <\/strong><\/p> Here are the contenders for the animals that have the most sex.<\/p> A North African desert rodent, Shaw\u2019s jird was observed mating 224 times in two hours, while giant water bugs are known to mate more than 100 times in 36 hours.<\/p> Hamsters can have sex up to 75 times a day, and lions<\/a> have been known to copulate 157 times in 55 hours. <\/p> \u00a0Female lions are known to mate one hundred times with multiple males<\/a> during their fertile period. \u00a0Mating with multiple males, inside and outside the pride, confuses paternity and deters any incoming males from infanticidal behaviour.<\/p> On the other end of the scale female giant pandas<\/a> are very picky about their mates, and have an incredibly short window of fertility (up to 72 hours per year). <\/p> There are several contenders for the animals that have the most sex, says Sanjida O\u2019Connell, from rodents to lions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":40821,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":{"readingTimeMinutes":"2"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/08\/which-animal-has-the-most-sex.jpg",1024,664,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/08\/which-animal-has-the-most-sex-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/08\/which-animal-has-the-most-sex-300x195.jpg",300,195,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/08\/which-animal-has-the-most-sex-768x498.jpg",768,498,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/08\/which-animal-has-the-most-sex.jpg",800,519,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/08\/which-animal-has-the-most-sex.jpg",1024,664,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/44\/2024\/08\/which-animal-has-the-most-sex.jpg",1024,664,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"There are several contenders for the animals that have the most sex, says Sanjida O\u2019Connell, from rodents to lions.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/40820"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcwildlife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Which animal has the most sex?<\/h2>
