BERLIN - A German zoo says a pair of gay male penguins are raising a chick from an egg abandoned by its parents.

Bremerhaven zoo veterinarian Joachim Schoene says the egg was placed in the male penguins' nest after its parents rejected it in late April.

The males incubated it for some 30 days before it hatched and have continued to care for it.

The chick's gender is not yet known.

Schoene said the male birds, named Z and Vielpunkt, are one of three same-sex pairs among the zoo's 20 Humboldt penguins that have attempted to mate.

Homosexual behavior has been documented in many animal species.

The zoo said in a statement on its website that "sex and coupling in our world don't always have something to do with reproduction."

German zoo says gay penguin pair raising chick

Awwwwww... :aw: It's a bit weird, but it's kinda neat how these penguins took the chick under their wing. :)
 
See further proof that gay couples are willing and can provide nurturing care for abandoned offspring.


Hmmmm - maybe we humans could learn from the animals and allow same sex couples to adopt!
 
Well, how do they know they are actually gay? Did they...you know?
 
zoo keepers may have seen the pair taking part in 'mating rituals'. and the article says the penguins were a known gay mating.
