:03:00
Well, almost all.
:03:03
This one, he feels, lacks the correct
genetic stock for motherhood.
:03:09
This one would make
a better father than mother.
:03:12
The male would be redundant.
:03:28
This one is clearly reserved
for wealthy tribal chieftains.
:03:33
To prepare for mating, she sways
her hips and flails her behind...
:03:38
in an attempt to dislodge
her egg from her uterus.
:03:45
The male exhales sadly.
He knows his place in the pack.
:03:54
The female feels
the male's gaze upon her...
:03:58
and marks him as a potential
father of her future cubs.
:04:08
Her ovulation complete...
:04:10
the female ceases her gyrations
and returns to her pack.
:04:13
It is the male's opportunity.
:04:15
Like all creatures
of the universe...
:04:18
the male and female begin
by examining each other.
:04:26
Tentatively...
:04:32
carefully...
:04:36
not willing to reveal
too much...
:04:40
or commit too far.
:04:45
The female bares her teeth
to show she wants to mate with him.
:04:49
The male mimics this gesture...
:04:51
to show that he, too,
would like to mate right now.
:04:55
Encouraged, the male
attempts the next step.
:04:58
It is a long walk for him.
