Really? I honestly didnt know that. Could you give me some examples? ( Im not being a snooty retard, im genuinly intrested).
well, here's a list of some species that have been observed having homosexual behavior. -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_practicing_homosexual_behavior
and here's another article (look at the references... there's an article in national geographic and stuff)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_in_animals
as for those of you who say they're just horny or they're too crowded or it's their form of masturbation or whatever... bonobos have opposable thumbs and could masturbate. They don't need another individual of the same sex.
also:
"Some black swans of Australia form sexually active male-male mated pairs and steal nests, or form temporary threesomes with females to obtain eggs, driving away the female after she lays the eggs"
Obviously they ARE homosexual as the only reason why they have sex with the opposite sex is to have babies...
"Bremerhaven Zoo in Germany attempted to break up the male couples by importing female penguins from Sweden and separating the male couples; they were unsuccessful. The zoo director stated the relationships were too strong between the couples."
again, obviously homosexual.
"Studies have shown that ten to fifteen percent of female western gulls in some populations in the wild prefer other females."
key word: prefer (meaning if they had a choice, they'd prefer the same sex.)
I also knew a cockatiel that had a female and just would not mate with her. He preffered to look at himself in the mirror... is that being homosexual? I dunno... it could be he was asexual... but don't they say that they can't recognize themselves in the mirror? if they can't, I'd say he was gay as he prefered to be with "another" male instead of a female.
