Hi, I'm Catie Wayne and this is animalist news!
嗨，我是凯蒂·维恩，这里是动物王国！
Being monogamous isn't the social norm in the animal kingdom.
在动物世界里，一夫一妻并非什么社会礼法。
In fact, only six percent of primate species mate for life!

Gibbons form incredibly strong bonds with their partners and are the closest relatives to humans that are monogamous.
长臂猿与其伴侣之间的亲密关系令人难以置信，他们是人类的近亲，实行一夫一妻制。
These cuties can often be seen grooming and doing social activities together while raising a family!

But even gibbons aren't perfect.
但即便是长臂猿也并不完美。
New studies have shown that some couples will divorce or cheat on each other!

Maybe gibbons could learn something from prairie voles!

When scientists tempted males with sexy, new female voles, less than ten percent cheated on their partner!
当科学家用性感的雌性田鼠引诱雄性动物时，他们的出轨率只有不到百分之十！
Why are scientists doing this, I don't know but it seems so wrong.
科学家们为什么这么做，我不知道，但这似乎这样做不太对。
Even when their partner eventually died, less than twenty percent tried to find a new mate. Awww see thats cute.
即使最后他们的伴侣死了，尝试去找新伴侣的田鼠也只有不到20%。啊，看那可爱的。

There's a reason the image of swans with their necks entangled in a heart shape is a universal symbol of romance, but it may not be as cute as you think.
大家普遍认为，天鹅的脖子相互缠绕，形成一个心形是浪漫的象征，但这可能不像你想象的那般美好。
Some scientists believe that swans are monogamous so they don't have to constantly waste time attracting new mates.

Plus many swans have a little something-something on the side! Well that's a mood killer.
加上许多天鹅侧边有些...！真是大煞风景。
But it doesn't mean that they don't care about their partner!
