Some scientists argue that the ncept of homosexualy animals is a misnomer and that same-sex behavr should be viewed more broadly as a form of social behavr rather than a strictly sexual one. Addnally, the prevalence of same-sex behavr ts may vary pendg on the populatn and the specific ntext which the behavr is is important to note that the study of homosexualy animals has broar implitns beyond the realm of animal behavr rearch.

It is also important to note that the study of homosexualy animals has been the subject of ntroversy and bate wh the scientific muny.

Unrstandg the ethil implitns of studyg fele homosexualy is ccial, as rais qutns about rpectg animals’ tonomy and natural behavrs.

For those who thk homosexualy is unnatural, there are hundreds of speci of animals that have monstrated homosexual behavrs acrdg to possibly my new favore book, “Blogil Exuberance: Homosexualy and Natural Diversy” by Bce Bagemihl.

Cats big and ltle have been observed engagg homosexual behavrs, although some s they may not be actual sexual behavr and stead are jt affectnate behavr between iendly animals. A possible explanatn of why ts may engage homosexual behavr is that ’s a way to get out their sexual tratn, much like they did wh the rabbs the Hagamen study.

One that Yamane and other rearchers (Michael, 1961) noted is that homosexual behavr may be terrory related, though Yamane puts forth other potential explanatns cludg practicg for future sexual enunters, rcg sexual enunters between sexual petors, and nfg a male t for a female t heat.

This explas why most studi on t behavr foc on sgular enunters and why you’ll notice above I didn’t talk about long term pairs of ts homosexual pairgs. If you’re lookg for the book I fanboyed on this whole post or more rmatn on this topic, Blogil Exuberance or Homosexual Behavr Animals are both a great read!
