Silo appeared to be bisexual, but Roy was only interested in two males, one being Silo.
You do have a point though. For example, make cane toads will literally mate with anything they think they can mate with. Like soda cans. They don’t even see, to consider whether what they are humping has something for them to stick their cane toad penis in. Honestly, it’s amazing they breed so prolifically in Australia despite the lack of predators because they’re clearly very stupid.
Zoos shouldn’t be used for study though. As I don’t see bears walking back and forth all day in the wild. Lots of animals also do. It have long term partners the screw and move on.
But there definitely have been observed instances of long-term same-sex bonding pairs in nature and in zoo settings.

Penguins have long term partners in the wild too.
