Maybe an uncle by marriage? I know what you mean. On the one hand, I like my fantasy to have some sort of internal logic, but on the other hand, we're talking about a world where animals act like people...
Are the animal choices based on personality or career choice (like a beaver being in construction) or anything like that? Is it supposed to reflect our society and how certain groups believe you should only 'mate' with those of your own group and in this way they are breaking those boundaries? This is a comic series I've never read (and I haven't watched the movie yet) so I wonder if anything in the comic points to these ideas. :O
It's all a Rocky Raccoon reference. Including Gideon's bible, and most likely Wal Russ as well. As far as I can tell, this is just an... interspecies free-for-all love fest.
I mean, a mole and snake want to marry the /same/ otter, but only because they want to take over her toy making business. Not for pure love, or unholy interspecies lovin'.
According to this: http://marvel.com/universe/Loonies
The animals were enhanced by the robots... so maybe they don't breed and instead their children are created from non-verbal/normal animals and then the animals who can talk adopt them into their families? Just a wild guess, but one that makes sense to me. :)
Until most, if not all, of that turns out to be false anyway, because of this: "He and Groot were reunited and tricked into returning to Halfworld: here, he found out his memories of the place were mostly half-truths and deliberately crafted fake memories. In reality, Jakes and Blackjack O'Hare had worked with Rocket in providing security at Halfworld Asylum for the Criminally Insane; Doctor Dyvyne had been Head of Psychology there; and both the anthropomorphic animals and the automaton clowns were deliberately created to work at the asylum, as their appearance would calm the inmates."

Yay, thanks for making that whole story not worth me getting invested in because it didn't really happen that way. At all.
Hmmm. Could be. This... makes sense. I mean, Halfworld, loonies sense, but at least some kind of sense.
