===Seahorses===   
[[Seahorse]]s, long upheld as monogamous and mating for life, are identified as "promiscuous, flighty, and more than a little bit gay" according to research published in [[2007]].<ref name="seahorses">[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article1303148.ece Promiscuous and bisexual — the ‘faithful’ seahorse has a secret sex life]</ref>   
    
Scientists at 15 [[aquarium]]s studied 90 seahorses of 3 [[species]]. Of 3168 sexual encounters, 37% were same sex acts.<ref name="seahorses"/> Flirting was common (up to 25 potential partners a day of both genders); only one species (the British Spiny Seahorse) included faithful representatives, and for these 5 of 17 were faithful, 12 were not.<ref name="seahorses"/> Bisexuality was widespread and considered "both a great surprise and a shock", with big bellied seahorses of both genders not showing partner preference.<ref name="seahorses"/> 1986 contacts were male-female, 836 were female-female and 346 were male-male.<ref name="seahorses"/>
