Also means
to mate (animals)
Usage Note
Aparear most often refers to pairing animals for breeding; it differs from emparejar, which means to match or make even. The reflexive form aparearse is standard when describing animals mating in a natural context. In a broader sense it can describe pairing objects, but emparejar is preferred then.
Examples
"Los patos se aparean en primavera."
Natural Translation
The ducks mate in spring.
