Abstract The article contains a literature review of facts and views on the strategies sexual behaviour in mammals, taking into account role animal’s species, sex, position herd. senses, brain, hormones expression animals’ is discussed, as well induction coitus reflex social reproduction present-day wild domesticated animals. analysis shows that predominant strategy females to attract multiple potential partners acquire best male. males most mammalian species are aimed at fertilizing many possible. Expression requires generation set characteristic reflexes indicate readiness copulate sexually stimulating. Animals differ expressing their behaviour. Some individuals react quickly dynamically stimuli immediately begin coitus, while others require longer preparation for successful coitus. Sexual influences status some species. Wild mammals with high typical given usually occupy dominant position, which gives them an advantage search breeding partners, access food, preferred stimulated by from induce copulatory reflexes. These have been described numerous animal They should be generated proper order proceed without disruption fertilization occur.
