Trying not to be rude with the phrasing, but homosexuality is like a genetic defect/mutation from individual to individual regardless of species. It's not a practice, it's something some individual animals are born with. Not all male lions practice homosexuality, this thread wouldn't even exist if HALF of them did for this to be a thing. Only a few select species like dolphins, hyenas and some apes do it regularly enough for it to be a practice.
Majority of the examples in your article reference the population of homosexual activity occurring in 10% or less in each group.
" his occurs especially among birds that will pair with one partner for life, which is the case with geese and ducks. Four to five percent of the couples are homosexual"
"When you see a colony of black-headed gulls, you can be sure that almost every tenth pair is lesbian." (aka under 10%)
I can tell you already the amount of lions doing this is under 10% as well.
It's like saying "snakes practice growing 2 heads" after seeing a 2 headed snake. It's a mutation, not a regular part of their biology.
Animals have been observed killing themselves as well from a variety of factors, are you going to claim they practice suicide pacts as well?
