    What animal does not mate for life?

    • Penguin

    • Dove

    • Wolf

    Correct Answer
    A. Kangaroo
    Explanation
    Kangaroos do not mate for life. Unlike penguins, doves, and wolves which are known to form monogamous pairs and mate with the same partner for their entire lives, kangaroos do not exhibit this behavior. Kangaroos are polygamous and have multiple mates throughout their lifetime. They do not form long-term bonds with their partners and instead engage in multiple mating relationships.
