'Gay' penguins given baby chick to parent in China
A 'gay' penguin couple in China have been given a baby chick to care for to help a struggling mother with twins.

One half of the 'gay' penguin couple with the newly hatched chick (Picture: REX)

The twins hatched at the Harbin Polar Land in northern China, and to give both babies the best chance in life the aquarium decided to give one of the twins to another set of parents.
The 'gay' penguin couple are notorious in the aquarium's penguin community and they have been caught many a time trying to steal eggs during the hatching season.
Penguin males have a natural instinct for parenting, in the wild the male penguins share the duty of incubating the un-hatched eggs with the female.
Aquarium staff are hoping that the Chinese pair should be able to look after the new chick without too much of a problem.
In other 'gay' penguin news it was revealed that the two African penguins at Toronto Zoo that are to be separated will be reunited with each other in the spring.
The zoo caused an outcry when it announced that it was to separate 'gay' penguins Buddy and Pedro in order to preserve the endangered species.
But the zoo has revealed that the couple are to be united in spring after they have attempted to mate them with females in the zoo's colony.

I have to say that this is the coolest and most adorable thing ever and it shows that even nature itself is gay.
It's also good to hear that the two african penguins are going to be reunited.

How badly did you d'aww :3?

AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Funny thing is there's a kid at my school named Pedro, now to show him this and watch lulz ensure.

But seriously though, this is pretty interesting IMO due to seeing how well the parents will be able to raise the chick but personally I don't think there will be many complications regarding that TBH.

This is adorable~ I've seen a story like this before, two gay penguins stole a females egg and the only way that the park owners realised they were both male was when they went to get the egg back.

I'm so happy for those penguins and I'm sure they'll be lovely fathers!

The bipedal, mammalian community could learn a lot from these penguins.

But to be slightly more serious, this is a good thing if it means helping an endangered species to increase its numbers. I imagine that they want to have every egg hatched if at all possible and that this just seems like a good option.

That is the cutest thing. I already knew it wasn't something limited to humans, that'd be ridiculous because technically we're all animals so it makes sense.

Good story, but I honestly don't see how this is newsworthy.

You read it, didn't you? If it didn't hold your interest, you would have passed it by. As for it being newsworthy... I personally am happy when journalists cover happy, feel good stories such as this. There is way too much negativity in the news these days. Stories like this really perks people up, and that's the whole point.

It's nice to see simple articles that aren't exaggerated, distorted reports written in such a way that would reel in more viewers.

Anyways, really cute! I agree with the above few posters; this provides a nice break from the kind of stuff we usually read about on the news P:

This is so adorable I can't even...

I think this is the first I've heard of an animal being gay. That's pretty sweet. c:

Sometimes a nice, little, feel good story is just what the world needs. There's so much bad news going on that something like this is a nice change. I believe the last time I heard about animals being gay they were split up and placed with women to encourage breeding.

Not to sound prude. But how is this good news exactly? I'm not saying it's bad news either. But I don't see how in any way this is good news. What does it help benefit? Woohoo! 2 penguins are gay!

I looked at the topic to see what it was about, but I see many people saying it's good news. And...I'm just astonished to see how that is exactly.

"Good" as in this is happy news, compared to the dark and depressing stories that are all over the news and all across this board. It's a nice read as opposed to reading something and feeling sad or angry about what someone did or how someone died.

Plus I don't know about y'all, but hopefully if people can see that two gay penguins can be good fathers, maybe they'll realize the same can apply to humans and gay couples will be allowed to adopt in more states and countries and wherever it's currently illegal and jazz. That's another reason why it's good.
