Also, looks like it might have been non-consensual as the "receiving party" appeared weak and unable to resist. So ... yay?

... Once shunned as a subject unfit for science, same-sex behavior among animals -- documented in more than 1,500 species -- is generating an explosion of new research ...

OK, I was going to post more, but I stopped because that National Wildlife Federation article gets a bit explicit in the description of what a scientist observed.

NSFW.

This part from the article looks OK for me to post...

... More common than recognized

The encounter was yet another data point in a growing understanding: Homosexual behavior is more common among nonhuman animals than scientists once acknowledged. By several estimates, researchers have observed such activity in more than 1,500 species. " ...

So, homosexuality appears to be natural in the world.

Or, more correctly, Florida is where failed Presidential candidates go to disappear. If nothing else good came from the GQP primary race it did show DeaNTIS TO BE THE RIDICULOUS ass***5 most Floridians know him to be.

How did they know they were males? Maybe one was showing the other her lady whale penis. Why the assumption?

I mean this is what we are told to believe now right, if it were humans?

"How did they know they were males?"

By their dorks. If you don't know what a dork is then you probably are one.

Reminds me ... my wife and I were on the beach once and we came upon a huge dead whale. My wife went over and stood by it for a photo. She stood on a big piece of the whale jutting out about 8 feet long so as to be closer to the whale. I asked her if she knew what's he was standing on. She thought it's as a fluke.

When I told her it was the whales dork and what a dork is she went running down the beach squealing.

Good times.

"Democrats have perversion and perverted sex on the brain, but nothing else."e Pervert Party is the GQP!

Funny, it's been Republicans obsessing sbout drag queens, transgenders and gays who aren't bothering anyone while their probable Presidential candidate is a rapist. I would have to conclude that that the Pervert Party is the GQP!

I remember when republicans used to be afraid that ----------- was going to permeate every aspect of life.

I think it was because they saw a few hot great danes in sweaters down at the dog park.

Google something like "Rick man on dog Santorum" if you want to go back to simpler times.

Now I'm convinced they are all pedophiles and that's why they can't shut the ---- up about them.

It sort of sounded like "Beasty Ali Tee"

Although I'm not sure how republicans could have possibly posted here back then.

It's all they talked about.
