Here’s a news story that’ll get you thinking. Offered without comment.
A German zoo has imported four female penguins from Sweden in an effort to tempt its gay penguins to go straight. … Keepers at the zoo ordered DNA tests to be carried out on the penguins after they had been mating for years without producing any chicks.It was only then they realised that six of the birds were living in homosexual partnerships.
…
She said that the birds had been mating for years and one couple even adopted a stone that they protected like an egg.
…
But introducing the Bremerhaven penguins to their new Swedish friends may not be as successful as hoped after earlier experiments revealed great difficulties in separating homosexual couples.In case they show no interest, the zoo has also flown in two new male penguins "so that the ladies don't miss out altogether", Kueck added.
Found this via the blendler of all things puppy…
