Number 10 Rams
We are often told to count sheep when we want to fall asleep, but the natural tendencies of rams actually might keep scientists up at night. Domestic rams are statistically among the most extensively gay mammals in existence. Scientific studies have shown that up to an incredible eight percent of male sheep may form exclusively male-to-male pair bonds.These same sex couples do not mate, but they act as a couple in every other way throughout their lives.
Number 9
Laysan Albatrosses
In 2007, scientists studying the laysan albatrosses of Oahu noticed that sixty percent of birds present were female, and that thirty-one percent of all the albatross pairs were lesbian. These pairs of female birds exhibit all the behaviors of close pair bonding, and engage in nesting, bill kissing, and a variety of other albatross breeding behaviors.Laysan albatrosses are normally highly defensive when they sense intruders— indicating that the acceptance of another female is true pair bonding.
Number 8
Bottlenose Dolphins
Dolphins have a position on the top tier of animal intelligence, and are comparable to both chimpanzees and humans in cognitive and social abilities. Great diversity exists in dolphin societies as well, and numerous same-sex liaisons have been identified.In one incredible case, a pair of gay dolphins enjoyed a seventeen year relationship, while researchers identified a whole pod of dolphins—composed entirely of males—whose members were certainly not lacking in romantic experiences. It has become clear that dolphin relationships are extremely strong, regardless of the specific orientation of the marine mammals involved.

Number.3
Western Gulls
Western gulls resemble the laysan albatross, but they’re actually more closely related to puffins. Convergent evolution has given them a resemblance to the huge albatrosses, along with a similar mating system—again sometimes involving two females. The more expressive gull pairs may even engage in mounting behaviors. This diversity in the colonies was first noticed when some nests were found to contain surprisingly large numbers of eggs.
Number 2
Giraffes
Giraffe CoupleYoung male giraffes, prior to mating with a female, sometimes engage in same-sex encounters and short term alliances. Activities may include tongue kissing, neck massaging and “hugs,” as well as full-body contact and nuzzling. Scientists theorize that the purpose of the same-gender interactions is to develop a familiarity with the mating techniques before using them to court the appropriate female giraffe.
Number 1
Dragonflies
It’s a fact: bugs can be gay. Dragonflies are among the most highly evolved predators in the insect world, and they’re also among the most demonstrative—engaging in spectacular in-flight ballets as well as serious sensual encounters with other dragonflies.But the presence of the opposite sex is not always a prerequisite to dragonfly dating; investigations have revealed a surprisingly high frequency of matings between same-sex dragonflies. Environmental chemistry and the unavailability of partners may be one factor influencing dragonfly mating behavior.
