***Animal experts have found that about 8 percent of domestic rams display preferences for other males as sexual partners.***

Now, wait a minute. Something is too PC here.
These Animals are not sexually active all year long, but only once a year. When the female ewe (Pronounced "you") ovulates she gives off an odor that attracts the males. So, HOW DO THESE MALES ATTRACT OTHER MALES IF THEY DO NOT OVULATE?
The same goes for several other species.

---
Perhaps they are having the signal blocked ( olfactory malfunction? ) and yet there is an instinct to dominate so they turn their sexual urge into a way to dominate and it will naturally choose another male for this as there is no reason to dominate a ewe except to make the ewe take its seed. The article doesn't state if the object of the homo-ram affection is game to the idea and I expect that he isn't.

But why don't these animals 69?
