Ms hellziggy, you never fail to astound. :)

[hellziggy]

That's a good thing, right? :P

[kniblet]

Definitely!

I'm very disappointed in the giraffes at the Minnesota Zoo though. They are both male but both times I've been there since the Africa exhibit opened I haven't seen any giraffe orgies. I think it might be because they only have two giraffes and you really need at least 3 for it to be an orgy. That was poor planning on the zoo's part!

A scientific approach!

This goes right along with my theory that sex just plain feels good and that's why animals do it.
Hmmm... more research is necessary.

Bonobos have sex to deflate tensions in the troup.

Sounds like a plan.

Interesting article. Thank you. :)
