Are there lesbian animals?

yeah, any animal can be gay, if we are using labels that is. It is arguable that nobody is actually gay or straight, but we just feel attracted to other beings. The reason the ratio of gay:straight sways toward straight as a majority, if this theory is correct although there s no proven theory to what causes someone to become gay, is arguably because society fills our heads with dribble about which sex we 'should' be attracted to but the impact of events throughout each individual's life causes the attraction to the same sex to become apparent. Assuming that animals don't have the influence of society, that would mean yes animals can be gay. :) xx

Why can't you distinguish an animal from a plant in a tide pool?

In a tide pool, distinguishing between animals and plants can be challenging due to the presence of various organisms that exhibit similar features. Many algae and seaweeds, which are plant-like, can closely resemble animal structures in appearance and behavior. Additionally, some animals, like certain sponges or sea anemones, may be stationary and blend into the rocky substrate, making it harder to identify them as animals. The diverse and intermingled nature of life in tide pools further complicates clear classification.
