This is so sweet! August 14, 2019 - 20:54 BST Jenni McKnight A gay penguin couple are set to become parents after being given an abandoned egg to adopt. Staff at Berlin Zoo noticed that the two male emperors, Skipper and Ping, were trying to hatch stones and fish so gave them an egg from a female penguin last month after she was unable to hatch her own eggs for consecutive years.
Zoo keeper Norbert Zahmel said: "We just had to put it in front of one of the males. He immediately knew what to do. This is the first time we have tried to have a same-sex penguin couple incubate an egg. Both are looking after the egg in an exemplary manner." The pair are now said to be staying close to each other and protecting the egg from other penguins.
