In species that use the XY sex-determination system, parthenogenetic offspring have two X chromosomes and are female. In species that use the ZW sex-determination system the offspring genotype may be one of ZW (female), [28] [29] ZZ (male), or WW (non-viable in most species, [31] but a fertile, [dubious – discuss] viable female in a few, e.g ...
A rough estimate of the number of hermaphroditic animal species is 65,000, about 5% of all animal species, or 33% excluding insects. Insects are almost exclusively gonochoric, and no definitive cases of hermaphroditism have been demonstrated in this group. [4] There are no known hermaphroditic species among mammals [5] or birds.

By old age, [clarification needed] the sex ratio reverses, with 81 older men for every 100 older women; [For this statistic to be meaningful, it is necessary to define the age range that is meant by "old age".] across all ages, the global population is nearly balanced, with 101 males for every 100 females.
Large mammals develop at an absolute slower rate compared to small mammals. Thus, the large mammal tend have longer gestation periods than small mammal as they tend to produce larger neonate. [18] Large mammals require a longer period of time to attain any proportion of adult mass compared to small mammals. [19]

With the decrease of these species also comes a decrease in seed dispersal.
