First of all, humans are created in God's image, not animals. As such, we have the ability to sin. They do not have a conscience. Therefore, even if animals were acting like transvestites, it would not prove anything.
Secondly, these animals are not dressing up as women and acting like them because they enjoy the behavior. The article makes it clear that they delay coloration as a defense mechanism until they are strong enough to defend themselves. (Although, this is purely speculation as to why their color doesn't change. There could be a biological reason for it.)
Having animals that participate in activities that would be sinful for a human is not evidence of anything contrary to Scripture.
Source(s): MELBOURNE (AFP) – Young male lizards in South Africa imitate females to fool aggressive older males into leaving them alone, in an example of transvestism in the natural world, researchers have found. The lizards not only avoid fights but gain access to females under the nose of their more macho rivals, the South African and Australian researchers discovered. They found that young male Augrabies flat lizards delayed displaying the extravagant coloration of sexually-mature males until they were able to defend themselves adequately.
