: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.
:05:01
He must make the perfect greeting
if he wishes to be fruitful.
:05:08
If you're not a professional dancer,
you should be.
:05:12
What?
:05:15
If you're not a professional dancer,
you should be!
:05:19
What?
:05:21
- I think you're a great dancer!
- What?
:05:43
But his introduction was flawed.
:05:45
There will be no fruit
for the male this evening.
:05:50
The female, for her part...
:05:52
uses her time
in the sacred meeting ground...
:05:54
fending off the advances
of all but the right males.
:05:58
- This one lacks intellect.
- Bye.
