Female bonobos have frequent sexual interactions with other females — more so than they do with males A new study aims to find out why. Smaller and weaker bonobos often form pairs to defend themselves against stronger and larger male bonobos Female bonobos also show increased homosexual behavior during times of high tension and conflict 2 similar behavior is observed in bottlenose dolphins, acorn woodpeckers, japanese macaques, and even lions. Homosexuality in bonobos is not cultural.
Bonobos are famous for their sexual behavior (de waal, 1987, 1995) which is characterized by high frequency, various mating positions, combination of partners and an overall ease with which sex is incorporated into the daily routine It's about social harmony too Contributions focus on animals that routinely engage in homosexual behaviour and include birds, dolphin, deer, bison and cats, as well as monkeys and apes, such as macaques, gorillas and bonobos.
