: animal-on-animal violence and sexual deviancy. 

In an apparent response to the common argument that the LGBT spectrum of 
sexualities isn’t “natural,” NBC is showcasing the unorthodox sexual 
proclivities of the lower life forms in a stunning and brave new documentary 
titled “Queer Planet.”

The documentary’s trailer, which was posted publicly on X, opens with a shot 
of a male lion sexually mounting another male, and clips of various 
presumably same-sex animals nuzzling each other are interspersed with 
soundbites from expert scientists assuring you that “everything you were told 
as a kid is wrong,” “this is a queer planet,” and “it’s only in humans that 
we have such a stigma about it.”

If you have the stomach for it, take a look at the full trailer below:

	animal kingdom…

“We’ve all heard of gay penguins, but this film really opened my eyes to the 
full spectrum of LGBTQ+ behaviors across the natural world,” narrator Andrew 
Rannells said in a press statement. “And what could be more natural than 
being who you are? I’m excited to be part of ‘Queer Planet,’ especially 
during Pride Month, and on Peacock, surely the most colorful and glamorous of 
all the streaming services.”

The special’s official synopsis claims it’s an exploration of “the rich 
diversity of animal sexuality — from flamboyant flamingos to pansexual 
primates, sex-changing clownfish to multi-gendered mushrooms and everything 
in between. This documentary looks at extraordinary creatures, witnesses 
amazing behaviors, and introduces the scientists questioning the traditional 
concept of what’s natural when it comes to sex and gender.”

Of course, there are numerous questions surrounding the findings of the 
documentary and whether homosexual behavior in the animal kingdom really is 
“natural,” but the implication of using animal behavior as a justification 
for similar human behavior may be even more insidious.

Since NBC apparently wants you to believe that something is morally 
justifiable just because animals do it, here is a non-exhaustive list of some 
reprehensible things that, according to “Queer Planet’s” logic, should be 
permissible because they are widely practiced in the animal kingdom.

Infanticide
Infanticide within the animal kingdom is extremely common. It is most often 
practiced by males as part of their reproductive strategy.

For example, when a male lion takes over an established pride, he will often 
kill any existing young in the group to extinguish the bloodline of the 
previous dominant male. The loss of the cubs also makes lionesses reenter 
heat more quickly, allowing the new male to reproduce and pass on his genes 
in his new pride. Male bears and other mammals such as dolphins and baboons 
have exhibited the same behavior.

“Males committed infanticide more frequently in species where males and 
females lived together and a few males dominated as mates — but only remained 
at the top of the pack for brief periods of time. The practice was also 
associated with non-annual or seasonal reproduction cycles, meaning females 
could mate whenever. Through infanticide, males can eliminate the offspring 
of their competition and get the female back to full baby-making capacity 
faster,” Smithsonian Magazine noted.

The Smithsonian also noted that mothers will also abandon offspring that are 
ill and may also kill the offspring of other females to cut down on 
competition if food is scarce.

Cannibalism
Cannibalism is also a common occurrence among animals when food is scarce. In 
cases of drought and famine, many carnivores will feed on the dead bodies of 
their own species, including their own young.

Certain species of sharks give birth to live young instead of laying eggs 
like the vast majority of fish do. Those young developing in their mother’s 
womb are often conscious and are able to move about freely. These shark pups 
will eat each other while still inside their mother if her nutritious yolk is 
depleted. This form of cannibalism is so common in the sand tiger shark that 
a female usually only gives birth to two pups at a time because they have 
eaten all of their other siblings in the womb.

Many female insects will cannibalize their mates soon after the act of 
reproduction in order to gain additional nutrients for their eggs. The female 
praying mantis will infamously devour her mate once they’ve coupled, usually 
starting with the head, in order to provide a boost of nutrients to her 
fertilized eggs. Similarly, black widow spiders often live up to their name 
by killing and eating much smaller males after they’ve been impregnated.

Mammals like lions, macaques, and leopards have also been known to engage in 
cannibalism. Mothers will often cannibalize their dead young in order to 
recoup nutrients.

Torture/Mutilation
Violence akin to what we would consider torture has been observed in a select 
few animal species, mostly concentrated among those with a high degree of 
intelligence.

Felines, dolphins, killer whales, and primates have all been observed toying 
with their prey before killing them.

Many people who have owned cats have seen them play with small birds, 
rodents, or reptiles before finally killing them. Dolphins and killer whales 
often exhibit similar behavior with seals and fish.

Chimps will often attack strategic points on an enemy’s body, most commonly 
the hands and genitals, to maim them before killing them. They’ve also been 
observed desecrating the dead bodies of adversaries. One notable instance saw 
a troop of chimps kill a former leader who had been ejected from the group. 
They then spent hours eating and mutilating his dead body.

Rape
Coerced sexual activity occurs on a fairly regular basis in the animal 
kingdom. Harassment and intimidation by males are common occurrences among 
dozens of species.

“Rape is a normal reproductive strategy in mallards,” Dutch scientist Kees 
Moeliker told The Guardian in 2005. He observed that male ducks would often 
chase female ducks and force them to land in order to initiate sexual 
activity with them.

Instances of sexual coercion by male grey seals in the North Sea were so 
violent that they resulted in the deaths of several female harbor seals, 
according to a paper published in 2020. Male dolphins off the coast of 
Australia work together to isolate a single female and then force copulation.

Sexually coercive behavior has also been documented in chimpanzees and 
orangutans. It’s been theorized that female bonobos create alliances with 
each other to discourage sexual aggression from males.

Necrophilia
Several instances have been observed of animals attempting to mate with the 
corpses of members of their own species.

Cases of both heterosexual and homosexual acts of necrophilia have been 
reported among ducks. Moeliker first observed necrophilic behavior in 
mallards in 1995. He saw a male mallard die after it flew directly into a 
window and reported that another male attempted to mate with the corpse 
“continuously for almost 75 minutes.”

In 2014, scientists in Japan reported that three male sand martin birds 
attempted to mate with the corpse of another male. A herpetologist witnessed 
two male white and black tegu lizards from Brazil try to mate with a dead 
female in 2013.

Scientists set up a camera trap near the corpse of a female stump-tailed 
macaque (a type of monkey) in Thailand, and over three days of observation 
three different male macaques attempted to have intercourse with the dead 
female.

Penguins
Penguins have become one of the mascots of the LGBT animal movement, largely 
due to several high-profile instances of male penguins forming bonded pairs. 
A children’s book depicting the same-sex romance between two chinstrap 
penguins at the Central Park Zoo won multiple awards when it was released in 
2005.

However, these birds run the gamut on deviant sexual behavior.

In 1912, a British naturalist who joined Robert Scott’s famous Terra Nova 
expedition to Antarctica described the “astonishing depravity” of the local 
Adélie penguins. Calling them “little knots of hooligans,” the naturalist 
observed instances of rape, necrophilia, infanticide, and abuse of chicks. He 
also noted instances of homosexuality.

The preceding account may seem a little morbid, even brutal, but it 
illustrates the danger in justifying certain human behaviors by pointing to 
similar behavior in animals. Though it can often look idyllic in 
documentaries or during a casual stroll in a park, morality is often absent 
in the natural world, and humans’ ability to discern it is one of our primary 
advantages over animals.
