   i've completely lost track of where this thread has gone/come from, but   
   homosexual behaviour in animals is not all that uncommon.   
      
   with regards to primates, bonobos will do anything to anything. same-sex   
   ummm... sex is (as i understand it) very very common amongst them. not   
   just as a last resort when alpha male is really desperate.   
      
   but, as you say, it's off topic. i just didn't want to let that one go.
