V.C. Lancaster Dear Chelsea,

Hi! :) Zir was Volin, and he didn't have heat cycles. Ro was Balin, and they do. The Balin live underground, and so they don't experience the seasons in the same way, so they have developed heat cycles to ensure that they have children when resources will be most plentiful.

In The E.T. Guy, reference was made to female Volin going into season which was the only time they would accept a male near them. Volin breeding is controlled that way, through the females.

I hope this helps, any more questions, let me know!
