SciShow recently released this video regarding non-reproductive sexual behaviours in non-human animals, which I think many of you may find interesting. I certainly did!
Why Do Animals Have Sex for Pleasure? (A video I found)

Animals are wayyyyy more sentient than people realize. This alone has some pretty big implications. Cool video.
#humanityfirst because at the end of the day we are all brothers and sisters. Lets stop the violence so we can prepare for the real threat to humanity... DOLPHINS!
If socialization and shared knowledge are what make humanity great, we should be more worried about orcas than dolphins. Orcas teach their young how to better hunt, including tricks like how to kill stingrays without getting hurt.
Orcas are dolphins. Their alternate name, killer whales, was actually mistranslated; it should be "whale killers". Because, y'know, they kill whales.
Also, I hear dolphins decapitate fish to use their heads as masturbatory aids - and that's not even the worst way nature has combined sex with violence.
Pseudo-penis, and it's a feature of all female spotted hyenas, not connected to status within clan.
