GAY ANIMALS YOU MIGHT NOT REALIZE ARE INDEED GAY

Added on: 21st Dec 2016

 

GIRAFFE

Giraffes are some of the gayest animals on the planet.

Nine out of ten sexual pairings occur between males

and males will often caress each other with their necks

before mounting and reaching climax. Depending on the

herd, anywhere from 30-75% of the giraffes would

engage in same-sex behaviour.

 

 

GUIANAN COCK-OF-THE-ROCK

Guianan cock of the rock

Aptly-named, the Guianan cock-of-the-rock, is a bird living

in the mountainous regions of northern South America.

Almost 40% of the birds engage in homosexual activity

and some never even copulate with a female. One source

even claims the bird shows a “delight in homosexuality.”

 

 

LION

Among Panthera leo, though female pairings are

sometimes seen in captivity, male pairings are more

thoroughly documented. Male lions engage in homosexual

behaviour such as nuzzling, mounting, and thrusting

other male lions. (There’s even a video of a lion threesome

at the Wuppertal Zoo where the three lions engage in

same-sex behaviour).

 

 

FLOUR BEETLE

If you’re worried about cockroaches, here’s one worse:

the flour beetle. This tiny pest can survive more radiation

than cockroaches and is resistant to a host of

insecticides. These critters are often found in wheat and

other grains. The male flour beetles have a clever trick

to boost their genes’ chances of survival: males have

sex with other males to practice mating and to dispose

of “old, less effective” sperm.

 

 

PENGUIN

Homosexual behaviour among penguins is one of the

better-studied examples in the animal kingdom. The study

of Adelie penguins from the intro was published in 2012,

101 years after its initial release, showing significant

homosexual behaviour. For decades, zoos across the

world have commonly reported gay male penguin couples.

In fact, Roy and Silo, two paired male penguins at the

Central Park Zoo, successfully hatched and fostered an

egg in 2004. It seems this behaviour is quite common

with male penguin pairs, even building nests and

substituting similar stones for eggs.

 

 

GREY WHALE

Same-sex relations are not just for smaller creatures. Reaching

lengths of up to 49 feet (14.9 m), the 36 ton male grey whale

is known for having “slip-and-slide” orgies. During the act,

males rub their genitals together while swimming

alongside each other belly-to-belly.

 

 

BONOBO

One of humanity’s closest genetic relatives, the bonobo

monkey shares over 98% of our DNA. These monkeys are

also known for being incredibly sexual animals with almost

every bonobo being entirely bisexual. Bonobo frequently

engage in sex, indiscriminate of the other’s sex, to avoid

conflict and build bonds. Scrotal rubbing is very popular

in these monkeys where about 60% of total sexual activity

is between two or more females.

 

 

MALLARD DUCK

Boasting one of the highest rates of male-on-male sexual

activities for the bird kingdom, mallard ducks form

same-sex pairs in up to 19% of a population. In fact,

male mallards only stay with a female until she lays her eggs.

 

 

BISON

Massive creatures of the plains, bison are some seriously

gay animals! The American bison is especially known for its

homosexuality where male-male mounting outnumbers

male-female copulation. During the mating season, male bison

are known to have sex with other males multiple times per day.
