Gay Penguin Couple Hatch Neglected Egg

Incredibly Caring Gay Penguin Couple Hatch A Second Neglected Egg After The Zookeepers Notice Them Trying To Hatch A Rock

Meet Sphen and Magic, the only same-sex couple at Sea Life Sydney Aquarium, who first bonded two years ago. It was around that time when the two were given a spare egg to hatch after they’d been hatching a rock.

Fast forward to today, their firstborn Lara is now out and about enjoying her adult life, but Sphen and Magic still have their parental instinct kicking.

And now the Aquarium’s “power couple” has made everyone happy again by becoming proud dads for the second time. “If one of our pairs has too many eggs or are not good at looking after their eggs, we will sometimes foster these eggs out to other pairs like Sphen and Magic. We gave Sphen and Magic an egg to incubate as they have proven to be good parents in the past,” the Aquarium’s spokesperson said.

The staff described the pair as “attentive” and “incredibly caring,” which just makes them the most lovable penguin parents out there.

love is a very queer thang.

I watched an amazing documentary years ago, 'March of the Penguins'. For the male's roll in caring for the egg has nothing to do with being homosexual.

The penguins practice serial monogamy within each breeding season. The female lays a single egg, and the co-operation of the parents is needed if the chick is to survive. After the female lays the egg, she transfers it to the feet of the waiting male with minimal exposure to the elements, as the intense cold could kill the developing embryo. The male tends to the egg when the female returns to the sea, now even farther away, both to feed herself and to obtain extra food for feeding her chick when she returns. She has not eaten in two months and by the time she leaves the hatching area, she will have lost a third of her body weight. I would encourage everyone interested to watch this amazing life cycle.
