* One male and two or more females
* One male and two or more females
* Common when males form a harem, protecting the females that make up the harem from other sexually active males.
* Polygyny may also occur as a result of '''Lekking'''.
** Lekking is where all the males of an area gather together in a 'Lek' to display. Females visit the Lek, chose a male and leave with him to mate. The male returns to the 'Lek' after mating, and may then be chosen by another female. Thus lekking often results in Polygyny.
