The very idea of sexuality being divisible into distinct types is a uniquely human construct.
Animals don't think "I'm gonna go find another dude to have gay sex with," they just get the urge and act on it with whoever looks good nearby.

Several animal species are famously monogamous, penguns for example.
Penguins (emperors at least) must work together for the eggs to survive.
That doesn't explain why the same couples keep coming back to each other season after season.
In the case of emperors, they don't. They find a new partner each season.
I haven't looked into other subspecies.
Oh my mistake there then. Rockhoppers are one species that are monogamous for life.
Nature FACT: Some birds just have a more advanced capacity to love. Sorry, humans, you just wouldn't get it.
Animals tend to force sex, as well. Humans call it rape.
Well, animals don't have informed consent like we do.
In some cases, no consent at all.
Maybe not to the same degree of specificity, but "do you want to have sex with me" is one of those things that's really high on the informed consent priority list.
A lot of species have complex biological adaptations, and social instincts and behaviors specifically for convincing someone to willfully have sex with them. That's informed consent.
A simple example is elaborate bird plumage and mating dances.
I consider myself an animal and consider your statement false.
