 "a scene in which a male Buff-Breasted Sandpiper stalks towards another with his rear in the air may not be meant to intimidate a rival, as described by Sir David, but as a prelude to "homosexual mounting". "

Academics do sometimes make real a*ses of themselves and and the above is a prime example. Can you imagine a BBC wildlife team crawling through the jungle to find a gay gheko or a bent buffalo, or even a homo heron? Is the campaign for gay rights to extend to a series on gay animals of the Serengeti, or even worse, Harry the Homo Vole of the Vendée.

For Bobo's sake, gays are gay, they exist, get used to it, but leave the homo helefants to their own de-vices!

I ask you, was the attraction of the Dodo to sailors the fact that they presented themselves rearwards or that the ostrich stick its backside in the air when trying to hide?

I agree. It is tripe.

 

Homosexuality - as we understand it - does not exist in animals. It is an affective state. Most animals have a range of  fixed actions which are standardised responses to particular stimuli. Those occasions where, for example, a male animal mounts another male animal should not be interpreted as a preference for a male but as an inappropriate response to an unclear stimulus.

It is only in those species where sex has some expressive purpose in addition to reproduction, such as homo sapiens and bonobo (bon Bobo?), that homosexuality can exist.
