Animal Pride

Synopsis:

In Animal Pride: Nature's Coming Out Story, Queer naturalist Connel Bradwell challenges mainstream biology's blindspot for queer animal behaviour in nature. Fueled by his love for the natural world, Connel discovers the science behind same-sex parenting in seabirds, hermaphrodite slugs, and the hidden history of same-sex penguin behaviour. Connel's irreverent approach takes a wrecking ball to the ivory tower of heteronormative science, demanding answers to why the world has been missing out on the wild, wonderful, and downright sexy side of nature.
