Are Penguins the only animals that mate for life...

Question

... or are there others?

Answer 1

I know that beavers mate for life. There are others though.

Answer 2

Birds that all look the same: penguins, rosellas, cockies, kookaburras, etc tend to mate for life. The ones that are sexually dimorphic (like peacocks, etc) are more likely to change about.

Humans often mate for life.  

Answer 3

"Of course, it depends on what you mean by "mate for life." These creatures do mate for life in the social sense of living together in pairs but they rarely stay strictly faithful."

"Only about 3 percent of the 4,000 mammal species are monogamous (and Homo sapiens isn’t one of them)... ...[they] live together in social pairs but dally sexually"  

"One species is absolutely monogamous. In the black darkness of the deep sea, the tiny male anglerfish (perhaps one tenth the female’s size) detects and follows the scent trail of a female of his own species. Once found, he bites his chosen one and hangs on. His skin fuses to hers, their bodies grow together (he gets his food through a common blood supply and becomes essentially a sperm producing organ). They mate for life — a short life for the male."

Answer 4

There are many animals that tend to "mate for life.' However, like humans, even these animals can be unfaithful to their mates from time to time!

Answer 5
