GENTOO PENGUIN (Pygoscelis papua), Cuverville Island, Antarctic Peninsula. Gentoo penguins work closely together to build their nests and successfully rear chicks. Among the behaviors these birds engage in are gifting each other with the much-sought-after stones used to build their nests. Here, a mated pair engage in a bout of allopreening. The pleasure of this sort of physical contact helps reinforce the intimacy of their relationship. Photo: Thomas D. Mangelsen.

BEAVER (Castor canadensis), Indian Creek, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Successfully rearing young beavers requires the work of both parents. Species like this are more apt to mate for life, and beavers are no exception. Rewarding behaviors, such as mutual grooming, help to reinforce the feelings each mate has for the other.
