A penguin couple received an extra special New Year's gift at a zoo in New York, where they became the organization's first same-sex foster parents to successfully hatch an egg
Elmer and Lima were both born at the zoo themselves -- Elmer in 2016 and Lima in 2019 -- and they became a couple in fall 2021 during the current breeding season.
The egg Elmer and Lima hatched was initially laid by heterosexual pair Poquita and Vente, but after the zoo team detected a viable embryo inside, they transferred it to the first-time dads.
