"Dirty" Birds Embarrased Researcher

Notes of Penguin Perversions Discovered

Levick was the resident biologist on Scott's 1910-13 mission to the South Pole — a feat they achieved only to discover that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had beaten them. Levick spent the entire Antarctic summer of 1911-12 observing Adelie penguins at Cape Adare, becoming the first and only researcher to monitor an entire breeding season. He documented their normal sexual behavior but also observed behavior he found so repulsive that he recorded his notes in Greek so that most other gentlemen couldn't read them.

. . .

Russell noted, however, that Levick was too prone to consider the birds' behavior in terms of human sexuality. A variety of research since Levick's time has shown that the males respond to specific visual cues and that such cues can lead them astray, particularly when they are young and inexperienced. For example, a dead penguin lying on its back with its eyes half open appears to be a compliant female. Most of Levick's other observations can be interpreted the same way. And homosexual behavior has now been observed in a wide variety of species, suggesting that it is not unusual in nature at all.


Birds do it . . .

Into Necrophilia are they? Just like the teens up north in WI who tried to dig that dead girl they saw in the obituary. Neither of they say "No".

Dead penguin doesn't say "No". A little cold but to the inexperienced, you can't be too picky

Wait, I thought only people made the choice to be gay and since animals can't make decisions there are no homosexual animals. I'm confused....

Well, it is intuitively obvious and axiomatically self-evident to even the most untrained observer that the young dead male penguin was homosexual since he never reached an advanced age.

Lifestyle choices. I stand corrected. Animals can CHOOSE to be gay too, just like people!!

The article might use the term homosexual too broadly. Did they notice male penguins seeking male penguins specifically, or male penguins going after anything that resembled a penguin? It might be more a case of omnisexuality than homosexuality. Con pito caliente no hay pariente taken up a notch.

Would that be heterosexual cross-species necrophilia or homosexual cross-species necrophilia?

Could be headed for hell but

1. Is there a hell for anything but humans?
2. What would happen in that hell? Maybe they would be paralyzed while some other bird does them?
3. What if their preacher doesn't tell them about the hell?
