Black Swans have one of the highest rates of same-sex pairing in the animal world

During mating season, one of the males will court a female just long enough for her to lay eggs, and then drive her off and raise the eggs by themselves.

80% of sexual activity between giraffes is between males,

That practice is referred to as Chasten-ing away.

In non primates, do they just classify the animal who gave birth as female because that can be very problematic.

Those swans are on the down low!

Weird. I can't click on the youtube link. Is that happening for anyone else?

^^works for me.

Thanks R7.

For some reason, I can't click on any youtube linked (just checked in other threads). This is a new glitch for me. Ugh.

Anyone know how to fix this annoyance?

Homophobes hate it when the existence of same-sex activity in animals is brought up, because it destroys their "iT's NoT nAtUrAL!!" argument.
