I think it dehumanises the relationship to try and explain it in scientific terms.
In my experience when you see that "special one" time stands still and your soul explodes with love.
Of course in this instance that love is being subsidised by the taxpayer and that cant be right.
Roy and Silo, two male penguins, both hatched and cared for an egg. What a sweet story!
They also got with females when given the chance. You're pretty late to the game with your info, Carla. There ain't no faggot penguins, just confused penguins reacting to conflicting stimuli.
(Bremen, Germany) Attempts by a Germany zoo to "convert" its gay penguins
to heterosexuality have failed the zoo's director said Friday.
On Tuesday 365Gay.com reported that the Bremerhaven Zoo had imported four
female penguins from Sweden which it hoped would split up its three gay
penguin couples and turn the birds "straight". (story)
But the six gay penguins were not interested in dallying with the other
sex, remaining faithful to their same-sex partners.
"The relationships were apparently too strong," said zoo Director Heike
Kueck.
The gay males were separated from their mates and one by one the females
were introduced. The males pined for their mates until they were
reunited.
The three gay couples are part of the zoo's 10 penguin exhibit. The
others are apparently straight and coupled. But, for more than a year
zookeepers were mystified why the three couples didn't have any offspring.
They did the usual courting dances, built nests together, appeared to
have sex, and still no little penguins. Finally they did a DNA test to
see if there was something genetically wrong. That is when they
discovered the three couples were all male.
