Prostitution among animals is the phenomenon in which non-human animals practice transactional sex. First noted in 1998 among female Adélie penguins trading stones for sex during a shortage of stones,[1][2][3] transactional sex has also been noted in various species of primates, including chimpanzees.[4] Observations of the practice among chimpanzees have been criticized by many scholars, who claim that androcentrism and the projection of the researcher's own gendered assumptions onto non-human animals may play a significant role in interpretations of prostitution.[5]
