Extremely rare in humans. It's more common in animals.  There is more research available on the subject with regards to animals.

Well, humans are animals too. Of course it can be more common at some species (like sheeps) than at others (like humans) depending from their breeding habits through are lions habits in fact more similar to those of sheeps or to those of humans? Male lions does not share the females. If one male will get female in oestrus then he will be keeping any other male at bay, fighting him off if need to. Bassicaly the only case where more males will mate with a same female will be if lion x mates with a females, then lion y, chase off lion x from the female and then mates with her. All in all still at lion species Heteropaternal superfecundation should be very, very uncommon to happen. Reply
