Actually they do. Statisticians often provide disclaimers that statistical analysis is not the whole picture. Statistics are only a numerical representation of data. It quantifies, not qualifies. Scientists have documented homosexuality in over 1500 species. Is that significant? It depends on the context one views it. It is insignificant if you view sexuality as a whole. If you view sexuality as a whole, asexuality is the winner. If you view mammals, the the number is relevant as the majority of that 1500 number are mammalian.
