Continue reading to learn which ones, and then pass these interesting and fun facts along to your special Valentine this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Valentines Day!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These Animals Team Up and Stick Together Forever:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

French Angelfish <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not only do French Angelfish choose a mate and stay with\nthem for life, together as a team they will fight to the death defending their territory\nagainst other Angelfish couples. This makes them a truly special species of\nfish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bald Eagles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sure, Bald Eagles are known to be loners during winters and\nmigration seasons, but they are actually a species that mates for life. Eagle\nwill select their mate, and then together, they will build a permanent nest for\nroosting and raising their young; just like a husband and wife builds a home\ntogether for their family! In the case that a mate dies, a Bald Eagle will\nactually select a new mate before breeding season. Many monogamous species\nexhibit this same behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barn Owls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Barn owls are often spotted in twos because they commonly mate\nfor life. Once an owl chooses their mate, the male will care for the female by\nsupplying her with food so that she may lay her eggs. Now that is a new level\nof marital bliss! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albatrosses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Albatrosses are unique birds in their own right, but adding on the fact that they are also a monogamous species puts them at the top of the interesting list. Just like Bald Eagles, Albatrosses will find a new mate if theirs dies, otherwise, they stay with the same partner, in the same nest, for life. Now since these birds can live as long as 50 years, they are truly a committed pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penguins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Penguins are widely-known as being a monogamous species, however,\nnot all penguins practice monogamy. For example, African and Magellanic,\nGentoo, and Royal penguins are entirely monogamous for life. But the famous Emperor\nPenguin is somewhat monogamous, only keeping a mate for one single season, then\nchoosing a new one the next season. This is referred to as serial monogamy<\/em>.\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mute Swans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not all swan species mate for life, but Mute Swans do. And\njust like many other monogamous species, they will find a new mate if theirs\ndies. Interestingly though, if a male swan finds a younger female, they remain on\nhis territory; but if he finds an older female, they stay on hers. Even more\ninteresting is the fact that female widows will always go for a younger mate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beavers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not only do beavers mate for life, both parents actively\nraise their young together. How sweet and inspiring is that! Furthermore,\nbeaver families usually average around 6 or more individuals, so they love big\nfamilies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gibbons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The nearest relative to us on this list are gibbons. They\nmate for life, unless one partner dies, in which case, they will find a new\npartner. Their family groups are small but very stable, and typically raise\ntheir young for up to 7 years, until their young reach sexual maturity. Just\nlike French Angelfish, these couples are very territorial and will defend their\npack by singing morning songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not only do wolves live in packs, they also mate for life!\nThey stick together and raise their young until they reach sexual maturity,\nusually around 2 or 3 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shingleback Skinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Shingleback Skink is a lizard; a heavily armored lizard\nwith a blue tongue to be exact. Perhaps these two elusive qualities help them attract\ntheir life mates! Native to western and southern Australia, these lizards are\nknown to stay with the same mate for up to 20 years or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
