Strap on your binoculars and lace up your boots: A Field Guide to Gay Animals explores sexuality, gender, and joy in the animal world.
Hosts Owen Ever and Laine Kaplan-Levenson hold you on a quest to see beyond the natural world as we know it and into the natural world as it is: queer as f*ck.

Now he was agitated: baring his teeth, screaming, turning from one friend to the next. “He was just not in a great place, bless him,” says Jake Brooker, the primatologist who observed the scene in Nearby chimps offered comfort to Max. But his distress persisted. Then another adult male, year-old David, approached from the side. His mouth was agape. His eyes were fixed on Max’s groin.

Among them was George Murray Levick, a zoologist and photographer who would be the first researcher to research the world's largest Adélie penguin colony. He chronicled the animals' daily activities in great detail. In his notebooks, he described their sexual behaviour, including sex between male birds. However, none of these notes would appear in Levick's published papers. Concerned by the graphic content, he only printed copies of Sexual Habits of the Adélie Penguin to circulate privately.
