The two Male Gay Penguins Decide to Steal More Eggs for their Family

 

I did this story a year ago and a year ago. I am so glad to report these two have not given up on stealing eggs to start their family. So instead of the crime in New York City or the calamities, the Russians are engaging in Ukraine while Russians just worry about the price of Vodka (actually that was a low shot. They just don't worry about others getting killed as long as is not them or their fams.) So Here is the story as I caught it this morning:

The couple—who the zoo clarified do not "have names, but can be recognized by a unique color code on a strap they wear"—first made headlines in November 2019 when they acquired an egg from another penguin family when no one was looking. "Homosexuality is more common in penguins, but it is remarkable that this couple has now also managed to get hold of an egg," zookeeper Marc Belt told RTV Utrecht at the time. "The males took over the egg from a straight couple at an unguarded moment."

"The gay couple takes good care of the egg, the males both breed alternately," he added, revealing that the straight penguin couple had laid a new egg in the meantime and were also busy brooding. "Of course we hope to welcome one of the gay couple among those new chicks, we will wait and see." Sadly, it was later reported that the egg didn't hatch and may not have been fertilized. "We also had a lesbian couple at the time. It could be that they stole it from that couple. And of course, they are not fertilized," said Drost.

He added that the gay pair tend to be quite dominant within the 17-strong group in the penguin enclosure. "Every couple has a house in the residence, but this couple has appropriated two houses," he revealed. All hope is not lost for the couple yet as Drost explained that "if we have a penguin couple with fertilized eggs, where something happens that prevents them from hatching it themselves, then we can also surrender those eggs to such a gay couple."
