For one species of moth, the male will cover the female in a layer of hairs soaked in plant toxins as a form of protection from predators while they mate, a process known as protective nuptial festooning due to the extended duration of copulation.

Ligers, the result of a male lion and female tiger mating, are the biggest of the big cats due to the lack of growth-inhibiting genes in female tigers, which would otherwise counteract the growth-promoting genes of male lions.

Male butterflies release a foul odor during mating with female butterflies in order to ward off competing males.

when female manta rays are ready to mate they release pheromones that attract males. This leads to a manta train which is when multiple male mantas follow behind a female in hopes of mating with them. This can last for weeks until the final male mantas remain.

when a female porcupine is ready to mate she climbs a tree and vocalizes loudly like a cat. This mating call attracts the males, which then fight brutally with each other. It s not unusual to see a winning, mating male with a hundred or so quills of rival males tails stuck in his face.
