Final answer:
Animals use courtship behaviours to meet potential mates. Examples include mating songs in whales and frogs, antler-clashing in deer, and jumping displays in jumping spiders. Some animals also release sperm or perform visual displays to attract mates.
Step-by-step explanation:
Animals meet a potential mate through a variety of courtship behaviours. For example, male whales and frogs use special mating songs to attract females. Male deer clash antlers to court females, while male jumping spiders perform jumping displays. In water-dwelling animals like marine species and frogs, the male releases sperm into the water where the female has laid her eggs. Some animals, like bowerbirds, build elaborate nests or perform visual displays to attract a mate. These behaviours help individuals find and attract potential mates.
