Gay Penguins Adopt A Baby!

There are two gay male penguins who have paired off at the Odense Zoo in Denmark.

The cute couple badly wanted to have a baby of their own.

Keepers spotted them at times trying to steal other couples' eggs!

During brooding season they apparently tried to incubate a dead herring!!

A zoologist said:

"[The two] seriously wanted to stay with an egg."

Ya think?! Ha!

Well their miracle came when a female laid two eggs and rejected one.

After successfully practicing on a fake egg the same-sex couple was given the egg to incubate.

It hatched with no problems and is now a cute baby penguin!

Congrats, dads!
