Why is the female voice (on average) one octave higher than the males?

Is this also true across other species?

    Men's voices are generally deeper because the surge of testosterone released during puberty causes their vocal cords to elongate and thicken.

    However, this is far less than one octave on average.

    There are voice changes in gender all over the animal kingdom.
