Well Andy, I guess your question is answered...
Animals include mating behaviours as part of their socialising and dominance behaviours. Which really is not that much different to humans, but I digress...When we confine animals they start to inter-relate so to speak, as they establish an extended social order... so it is usual for them to share their mating, play and aggressive behaviours.
Young animals will experiment with play behaviours which include mating behaviours, and older animals often use aggressive mating behaviours to dominate and establish their place in the social order, or move up through the heirarchy. Animals without partners will also look sideways if in season...
Once a year, every year, my two female donks, start mounting each other. I really wish they wouldn't do this on top of the dam wall, in full view when the kids school bus pulls up!
Tis a tad embarrassing...

Ducks can be very, very strange at times. Check out this Guardian article.
