Gay penguins - fathers by stealing eggs

Welcome to the Hogtown Gossip Archive. Subscribe to our feed and enjoy!

At the Polar Harbin zoo in eastern China, a gay penguin couple is stealing eggs from heterosexual penguins and attempt to conceal their theft by placing stones at the feet of their parents before waddling away with their eggs.

Even though they wear suits, heterosexual penguins are not dumb, so they noticed the deception and ostracized the couple. Keepers then physically separated the gay couple from the group to avoid disrupting the hatching.

There are numerous examples of homosexuality in the animal kingdom, but gay penguins have captured the public's attention more than any other species.

A German zoo provoked outrage from gay lobby groups after attempting to mate a group of gay male penguins with Swedish female birds who were flown in especially to seduce them. But the project was abandoned after the males refused to be "turned", showing no interest in their would-be mates.

In 2002 a couple of penguins at a New York zoo who had been together for eight years were "outed" when keepers noticed that they were both males.
