Gay parenting is proving to be successful even in the animal world: two King penguins in Denmark have reportedly become the first gay-penguin parents in captivity.
It looks like the gay penguin couple at Odense Zoo had wanted their own chicks for a while. The Star reports the penguins began performing mating rituals on each other for several years now, then they tried to steal other female penguins’ eggs, and even sat on dead herring to mimic incubation as a last resource.
Luckily for them, they got their chance at parenting when a female penguin abandoned her eggs. Full story here!
