Do female animals know when they are pregnant?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30951points) June 30th, 2011

Animals can know things to varying degrees. A bear knows there is honey in the hive. My cat knows where the box is.

Is there any research to suggest an animal can know it is pregnant, and that shortly thereafter a birth will occur?

Likewise, is there any research to suggest that a male animal can know what the end result of copulation will be?
