Editing Lordosis behavior (section)

==Description==
Lordosis is a reflex action that causes many non-primate female mammals to adopt a body position that is often crucial to reproductive behavior. The posture moves the [[pelvic tilt]] in an anterior direction, with the posterior pelvis rising up, the bottom angling backward and the front angling downward. Lordosis aids in copulation as it elevates the hips, thereby facilitating penetration by the [[penis]]. It is commonly seen in female mammals during [[estrus]] (being "in heat"). Lordosis occurs during copulation itself and in some species, like the cat, during pre-[[animal sexual behavior|copulatory]] behavior.<ref>{{cite web |title=Female Cat in Heat |url=http://www.pet-informed-veterinary-advice-online.com/cat-in-heat.html#lordosis-heat |website=Pet Informed |access-date=14 November 2020}}</ref>
