I don’t think this is true. There is certainly a large degree of individual variation in animal behavior too, it’s just not that well studied.

I had a professor who studied owls, which are usually highly monogamous. But there was one male who always tried to have two nests with two different females. It was hard for him because he had to hunt twice as much food, but for whatever reason that was what he felt like doing.
