We understand by male to that subject that represents the male gender within any animal species (including the human species). The male is the one who possesses the male genital organs and who has a genetic code established in the XY chromosomes. Because these chromosomes contain all the genetic information of an individual, this will tell us that it will be a male specimen with its organs and its particular anatomy according to the type of animal we are talking about.
The male is the figure that makes up one of the two known sexes, the other being the female or woman. The male is always the stronger and more robust figure of the two and although there are some other animal species in which this is the other way around, most of the time the male is not only stronger but also larger and more threatening in the case of some animals. Males are those that have external reproductive or genital organs unlike females who have these organs internally.
Males can also be differentiated by other anatomical elements that aim to distinguish and give more splendor to the male specimen over the female. Thus, many male animals have elements that females do not, for example large antlers, manes, more abundant hair and present in areas where females do not have it, stronger odor, claws and other elements.
In social terms, in most cases the male is the one who provides food for the family while the females are the ones who take care of the young. Thus, the male's main task is to protect his offspring. However, some species do not bond very deeply and it is common to see males of different animal species roaming independently.
