This is the only Black Friday deal I look forward to each year. Simply the best stay-at-home research resource. I've found many sexological gems over the years . . .

The Diemen Alexander by Marie Hietz has just been released! Set in Hobart, it's SF featuring zoology, comparative anatomy and venture capitalism. It also explores the ethics of human responsibility towards animals, the earth and each other, and the truth that power goes to the person most prepared to wield it.
Described as "Jurassic Park meets ET - in the best possible way.’
Lovely image from 1800 depicting female deer with male-typical characteristics. It's titled 'Mannweiber unter dem Wilde' ('manwoman among the wild game', with thanks to @natureculture for help with the trans!). The title reflects the rampant anthropomorphism of the accompanying article. :transgender: 🦌 🏳️🌈

Two male Asian elephants, Dunk and Gold Dust, were star attractions at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. In November 1892 physician Irving C. Rosse described, somewhat disapprovingly, how the animals had sex together, this being the first published account of same-sex sexual behaviour in elephants. 🏳️🌈 🐘
