I seem to remember watching a documentary in which a gang of male dolphins chase down and rape a female dolphin.
How many other species force sex upon the females?
Are there ever any males of the species that get raped?
The closest animal I can think of that has rape of a male is the praying mantis. Maybe not rape per se, but he sure gets screwed!

It does mention the dolphin incident.
You may be interested in reading a discussion on the same subject in this same forum, a few weeks ago:
Too slow Arnold.
LanceTurbo, is that why you have Turbo in your name?
Lance Turbo’s site - see Fillet’s this page is exceptional. What if all those behaviors are part of our genetic heritage and culture in our fellow primates and ourselves determines which behavior we are raised to follow?
