    After a duel, it is common for two male giraffes to caress and court each other. Such interactions between males have been found to be more frequent than heterosexual coupling. In one study, up to 94 percent of observed mounting incidents took place between males. The proportion of same-sex activities varied from 30 to 75 percent. Only one percent of same-sex mounting incidents occurred between females.

    This is smart, though. If males are always willing and females are less so, it makes perfect sense for males to engage with each other.

    I’m confused. The Mrs was clearly not ovulating, so I checked out pretty much all the homies for the rest of the month, but it didn’t seem to me like any of them were either, which seems statistically unlikely. Does this mean I’m the one on heat? Do I switch from pitcher to catcher on months like these? Is that why Alex… well, Alex, you know what you did, and that’s not what we agreed, was it, and and I think you know full well I couldn’t say the safe word at that point and I think you deliberately misinterpreted me slapping your admittedly cute butt dimple.

    I don’t think this is specific to giraffes? I’ve seen sheep do the exact same thing.
