MAX WAS DISTRAUGHT. The year-old chimpanzee had been threatened and chased by a dominant female at Zambia’s Chimfunshi Wildlife Orphanage. Now he was agitated: baring his teeth, screaming, turning from one friend to the next. “He was just not in a great place, bless him,” says Jake Brooker, the primatologist who observed the scene in Nearby chimps offered comfort to Max. But his distress persisted.
Then another adult male, year-old David, approached from the side. His mouth was agape. His eyes were fixed on Max’s groin.

Scientists explore the evolution of animal homosexuality
Imperial researchers are using a new approach to understand why same-sex behaviour is so usual across the animal kingdom.

In , a team of scientists set off on the Terra Nova Expedition to explore Antarctica. Among them was George Murray Levick, a zoologist and photographer who would be the first researcher to research the world's largest Adélie penguin colony. He chronicled the animals' daily activities in great detail.
In his notebooks, he described their sexual behaviour, including sex between male birds. However, none of these notes would appear in Levick's published papers. Concerned by the graphic content, he only printed copies of Sexual Habits of the Adélie Penguin to circulate privately. The last remaining copy was recently unearthed providing valuable insights into animal homosexuality research.
But forays into animal homosexuality explore long predate Levick, with observations published as far back as the s
Gay Cowboys? Sure, Pardner.
But real-life gay cowboys and Wild West historians say that the plot of Brokeback Mountain -- an Oscar favourite after topping the Golden Globes nominations -- is nothing new.
And in a claim that is likely to outrage many rural conservatives, they say that homosexuality was an unspoken norm on the American frontier, where men were close and women were scarce.
''There they were, a couple of men, alone together in isolated frontier country, for weeks or sometimes months at a time,'' says Randy Jones, 53, who was the stetson-wearing, lasso-throwing gay cowboy in the Village People and who acted as an adviser on the film.
''The thought must have passed through their minds, even if they didn't act on it, because men are sexy animals. If that wasn't the case, there wouldn't be so much homosexual sex in prison.''
There is growing evidence to support Jones's theory. As

It had been a hot and dusty move from Kansas into Colorado en route to my new posting as the postal agent and sutler at Fort Hayden.

I now saw the river ahead, cool and inviting, but I knew I wasn&#;t
