8. POLAR BEARS
Most male polar bears don’t successfully mate until 8 to 10 years and older.During mating season, once paired, the male and female stay together for a week or more requiring mating interactions to stimulate ovulation and guarantee fertilization of the egg.

Moose
Competition is so tough during mating season that the older males often keep the younger males from breeding until they’re five or six years old. Unlike dogs or wolves, where a male can sometimes tie to a female for up to half an hour, with moose it’s up and down. There are no acrobatics or neck nibbling, but the job gets done.

6. Pandas
Growth is slow and pandas may not reach sexual maturity until four and a half to six and a half years of age. Copulation time is short, ranging from thirty seconds to five minutes, but the male may mount repeatedly to ensure successful fertilization.

5. Pig

Although sexual maturity can be reached between 8 and 10 months of age, males do not generally reach the size necessary to compete for females until 5 years old.

4. Koalas

Sexual maturity for males can be reached between 3 to 4 years of life.

3. Flamingo

Flamingos are able to start reproducing at age three, and in the wild, birds ages six and older had a higher breeding success rate than most of the younger flamingos. You can tell that a flamingo has reached sexual maturity by the color of its plumage. If the bird has light pink plumage, its probably not sexually mature, but a sexually mature bird at two or three years of age has deep pink plumage.

2. Racoon

Sexual maturity often occurs in males at two years of age.

1. Rabbit

Rabbits mature sexually by 6 months of age. The length of pregnancy in the rabbit is 31 days and the doe can produce from 1 to 12 young each time she gives birth. She can become pregnant again within a few days of giving birth.
