Are there any species of animal that require a seperate a third party to mate?
Was mowing the lawn, and I was waiting for a honeybee to get out of my way when a shower thought struck me: is there an animal species that requires a third party to procreate?
I'm curious if there's an animal species that requires something like a pollinator or assistant species of some sorts to propagate.
I did some cursory Googling, and the closest I could find were some amphibians that will use similar species to trade genetic material (the term escapes me at the moment) to essentially self fertilize, but I'm curious if there is something more radical.
