Wild dolphins off Brazil engage in homosexual behavior
What do you think about this behavior?
Brazilian scientists have reported for the first time ever homosexual behavior among dolphins living in their natural habitat, a Brazilian daily said Monday.
Scientists at the Rotator Dolphin Center have said sexual activities among dolphins outside their reproductive season have the objective of giving sexual pleasure for the species of mammals, a rare behavior among animals. ?We have reported so far at least 21 dolphins in the course of homosexual behavior, including oral sex among males,? José Martins, coordinator of a local marine research center, told the daily.
Sex among males is easier to testify because their sexual organs are external, according to the head researcher of the center, which operates in partnership with federal environmentalist agency Ibama.
