Giraffe Sex

"...the female giraffe urinates and the male drinks a small portion of her urine... The male can tell whether she is in season based on the taste and smell of her urine...

Once it has been determined by the male that the female giraffe is indeed in season and fertile, he begins a courtship. There is nothing special or fancy about the way he courts her. In fact, he just follows her around for several hours or several days. Every once in a while he gets up on her hind quarters to see if she will accept his penis. The female typically plays hard to get for a while, walking away when he jumps up on her. In fact, she plays hard to get mainly to see if a larger, more dominant male will come around to mate her instead."
