Male Lions Mate 672 Times Per Week

Male Lions Mate 672 Times Per Week

When a lion gets in the mood, there is nearly nothing that can stand in the way.
During mating season, a male lion mounts a female once every fifteen minutes for a full week straight.
This amounts to around 672 raucous episodes. Although, this feat is remarkably impressive,
it appears to take a substantial toll as lions take as much as a two-year hiatus between mating seasons.
