Same-sex coupling appears throughout every animal species, but only seems to be controversial (or really of interest) to humans. When photographer Nicole Cambré caught two male lions mating, the images she took spread across news and social media like wildfire: But not so fast — National Geographic says that it's possible that the lighter-maned lion is actually a female (albeit an unusual one): Cambré released a video that she said supports her assertion, and that both lions had equipment clearly showed they were male. In that vein, Washington Post interviewed an African lion expert who says yes, they were male, but no, they weren't mating after all: It also says that while it's probably never a good idea to overanthropomorphize animal behavior, it's clear that leonine relationships, like their human counterparts, are complicated.
