If anything, we should have a list of animals that never display homosexual behavior. That list would probably be much smaller than this one. Voortle ( talk) 11:46, 12 January 2008 (UTC) reply

I note that the source whose citation is currently linked to that sentence makes no mention at all of homosexuality, and does not appear to support the article content. So one question to answer is whether that sentence is actually correct. If the argument here is that homosexuality has only been observed in the few species on this list, out of the million species catalogued by Dr Gordon et al., then indeed it is the exception and not the norm, and this is a list with a reasonable scope. In that case, however, homosexuality in animals needs attention, because "documented in fewer than 0.1% of all species" is not what most readers will infer from "widespread".
