Multiple sex partners, same sex relationships, transgender, and transvestite – animal sexual behavior is as varied as human’s, according to Donna Fernandes, head of the Buffalo Zoo.
We kick up some dust and bring back zoologist Donna Fernandes to Living on Earth. In our show’s early days, she was a regular guest when she worked at Boston’s Franklin Park Zoo and entertained us with her talks on animal behavior. Now head of the Buffalo Zoo, Fernandes speaks with LOE’s Steve Curwood about promiscuous female flies, lesbian seagulls, transvestite fish, and creative animal sexual strategies.
