A scientist has reported what seems to be the first occurrence of same-sex passion among female gorillas. Associate Professor Dr Cyril Grueter, a primate expert from the University of Western Australia, was examining the feeding patterns of gorillas in Rwanda when he made the stunning discovery.
He also explained that the behaviour of the female apes appeared to be motivated purely by sexual arousal rather than attraction, and they were equally aroused by males and females.
Dr Grueter also observed that females engaging in same-sex intercourse would often seek privacy by hiding in dense vegetation.The academic said the study was significant as it might contribute to an understanding of the evolution of such behaviour in humans. He said: "'Gorillas are closely linked to humans and we thought by looking at this behaviour we could learn a little more about our own evolution."
Oh well...
