Twerking is the mating display of the
female Africanus Americanus. When the
female of the species goes into estrus, which is nearly continuous except for 1 week out of a lunar month, she "twerks" to signal her availability to males in the area and to display her sexual fitness.
In the display, the
female arches her back and raises her buttocks into the air and gyrates the pelvis using quick, jerking motions, causing the tissue in the buttocks to jiggle and bounce in such a way that it moves separately from the pelvis itself.
The male of the species, upon seeing such a display, is compelled to approach the
female, offering his genital region for the female to grind and jerk her buttocks against.
The display culminates when the female and a male go to a less public area to mate, such as a bathroom stall or the backseat of the male's 1989 Chevy Impala. The encounter is often brief, the male losing interest almost immediately after ejaculation. But the female, if her level of excitement is high,
will often invite other nearby males join in and mate with her.
Her ability to handle males can be quite high. In the wild, females have been observed mating with groups of
20 males at the same time.
If successful, the female
will give birth in 9 months, raising the
child as a single parent in habitats known colloquially as "the projects". The
child will stay with the female until he or she reaches adolescence, at which point it
will begin to produce offspring of his or her own.
