ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mating connection

Mating connection is like a puzzle piece that fits perfectly with another puzzle piece. Just like how you have a toy puzzle and fit the pieces together, in animals, the males and females have their own puzzle pieces that fit together for making babies. When a male and a female animal want to make a baby, their mating connection allows them to come together and create a new life. This connection involves the male transferring his special cells called "sperm" to the female's special part called the "egg". When the sperm and egg come together, they make a new baby! It's like magic! So, just like how your puzzle pieces fit together to make a picture, animal's mating connections fit together to make a brand new life!
