What animal mates with its own kind?

This is a bit of a trick question! All animals mate with their own kind. That's how they reproduce and create offspring.

Perhaps you're thinking of a specific type of mating behavior, like:

* Monogamy: Where animals mate with only one partner for life or for a single breeding season.

* Polygamy: Where animals mate with multiple partners.
