What is an attractive mate? We more or less agree on attractiveness in the human realm. Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt are generally considered hot, while Donald Trump… Less so. Ok, that is looks, but thinking of personality now? Well, again, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt are generally considered hot, while Donald Trump… Now what is attractiveness in non-human animals? Good thing that I am not a female lizard, because I would probably end up with the wrong male, but it seems that animals have a pretty good idea of what is considered an attractive mate for their species.
