Termites
In an ant colony, a queen mates once with the male(s), stores the gametes for life, and the male ants die shortly after mating. In contrast, several species of termites can form lifelong pair bonds between a female "queen" and a single male "king" who literally give birth to their entire kingdom.

They complely skip a beutiful bird here. not happy.: (
This list is called "11 animals that mate for life", not "100 bazillion animals that mate for life". A lot of birds mate for life, and they already have quite a few bird examples. I think they wanted some variety.
No living creature is unnecessary.They all have some kind of 'purpose'

Termites. Along with mosquitoes and flies.
WHAT ABOUT ELEPHANTS!!!! This page is silly!! My love birds mate died 5 years ago and he's happy. He'd kill another bird if we put one in there!!
yeah that sounds like a happy bird. Big clue if he's so happy he would have chose another mate rather than killing them. If he kills them it's because he's preserving the space of his lost mate.
