I'd have to agree, because as a 4-pound chihuahua puppy, she's generally the
submissive one. The duck is bigger than she is, but it doesn't resist her
"advances."
It still drives me nuts.

Of course there is no way to know the inner life of any of these animals, but
the observations are interesting nonetheless.

It has been said if one looks for some behavior to occur,one will eventually
find it.This criticism has been applied to some of the studies of British

behavior to occur it will be made to occur.
There is also the question of
Maybe this has already been discussed in this thread and I missed it,
but as an animal behaviorist, I can tell you that mounting is a common
form of dominance behavior that can have nothing whatsoever to do with
sex. Same-sex mounting most likely has very little to do with sexual
preference
But isn't this behavior common among many, many other species? It
seems remote that in all cases it is caused by pheromones being left
on the animal from a female.
