COPULATORY BEHAVIOUR



  • Queen 'calls'
  • Male identifies female
  • Queen crouches in lordosis
  • Tom bites scruff of queen
  • Tom mounts and thrusts to gain intromission
  • If queen is in oestrus she will submit to allow full intromission.
  • Tom ejaculates
  • Female emits a yowl and rolls over, attempting to swipe the tom with her claws.
  • Tom retires to a safe distance
