An unusual sexual bond between a bull and a male donkey
Sex between animals of the same sex is widespread in nature.
Summary
Sex between animals of the same sex is widespread in nature. But researchers reporting in the journal Current Biology on Nov. 2 describe an unusual partnership involving an ongoing sexual relationship between a bull and a male donkey living on an Ethiopian plateau. While the two males could have easily chosen partners of the same species and opposite sex, they continued to choose each other, even though they belonged to different owners and only saw one another during time in the pasture.
