And baby makes three
for two gay penguins at Germany's Bremerhaven Zoo.
"Z" and
"Vielpunkt" have adopted the baby chick they were
tasked with looking after before it hatched.
"Another couple threw
the egg out of their batch," the zoo's vet said in a
statement. "We picked it up and put it in the nest of the gay
penguins."
The penguin duo
immediately took over and looked after the egg for 35 days
before it hatched. The chick was born on April 25, and the
penguin duo has been looking after it since.
This isn't the first
time gay penguin parents have been in the news.
Central Park Zoo's Roy
and Silo made headlines for trying to incubate a rock in their
nest. A zookeeper eventually gave the penguins a fertile egg to
hatch. Months later, a chick was born.
Scientists eager to
prove that homosexuality is not a choice have used Roy and Silo
as an example, arguing that if it happens among animals in
nature, it can't be immoral.
