The studies usually define any homosexual activity as falling under this
category. Animal psychologists (such as those working with Dolphins here in
Florida) report that gay dolphins remain gay and mate for life with a single
partner, as do straight dolphins. Many of the species in which
homosexuality has been seen do not mate for life or have monogamous
relationships. In such species, there usually is not exclusive gay
behavior, although some cases have been seen.
