Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
I know this is just a meme and a pretty funny one at that, but my autistic ass with a science degree simply must mention that behaviour observed in captivity is not necessarily indicative of behaviour in the wild.
Go read the study though it's a very cool read and easily found online.
"We have to temper our excitement about the gay alligators" isn't an easy pill to swallow.
You want to challenge the study results? Then you gotta go record wild gator sex statistics.
Imagine dedicating 6 years to get a PhD and then watching 2 alligators bang for 36 minutes.
...and??
That's the shit you sign up for by doing a PhD!!
(..and I'm not joking lmao. Research often is like this, and it's good!)
Nah the fun part is designing the experiment. But zoologists are weird like this

homophobes in shambles
No. The study just confirms that gays flirt as long as it takes to break their target's will. To be safe, gay behavior has to be forbidden.
in fact, all republican politicians will take it upon themselves to perform conversion therapy in their bedrooms to contain the gayness.
"they're putting so much shit in the water, it's turning the damn alligators gay!"
You can't logic yourself out of a position you didn't logic yourself into lol
Florida about to ban their state animal
Lol, I can't help but imagine the researchers armed with stopwatches and clipboards peeping on all that steamy alligator sex 👍
"Can you confirm they're having sex?"
"From what I can tell."
"I didn't ask if you can 'tell' they're having sex, I asked if you can CONFIRM sex. Are we two men standing in a swamp watching two gators maybe hump, or are we goddamn SCIENTISTS looking to understand the nature of sexuality as presented in the wild? Because I put my Science wellies on this morning, unlike someone who CAN'T CONFIRM TO ME IF THIS IS ALLIGATOR HOMOSEXUALITY OR NOT!"
For 2205 seconds!
1,060 seconds, or over 17 minutes... nice stamina.
Were the results corrected for observation time? If male/male mating takes twice as long as male/female mating then the probability of observation should double.
Myyyy tail shake brings scaly bois to the yard and they top, for several seconds more.
