Funny, I was partial to wombats until now ...

This just in, from The New Zealand Herald by way of Keith Olbermann:

Australia rocked by 'lesbian' koala revelation

Female koalas indulge in lesbian "sex sessions", rejecting male suitors and attempting to mate with each other, sometimes up to five at a time, according to researchers.
The furry, eucalyptus-eating creatures appear to develop this tendency for same-sex liaisons when they are in captivity. In the wild, they remain heterosexual.
Scientists monitoring the marsupials with digital cameras counted three homosexual interactions for every heterosexual one.
"Some females rejected the advances of males that were in their enclosures, only to become willing participants in homosexual encounters immediately after," say the researchers. ...
One theory put forward by the researchers is that the females do it to attract males; another is that it is simply hormonal, or that it is a stress reliever.

That's funny ... I think people think the same kind of stuff about human lesbians ....

P.S. I really did have a toy wombat I carried around with me in grade school. As if you need me to tell you that I was an odd kid.
