Egg stealing: Penguin couple creates offspring

Homosexual partnerships are more common among penguins – but of course there are no offspring. But giving up is not an issue for this penguin couple from the Netherlands: They simply stole a nest with eggs to hatch together – but there will probably not be a happy ending for the two.

A homosexual penguin couple uses unfair means for their dream of offspring: When they observe a lesbian penguin couple building a nest, they quickly decide to steal the nest – including the eggs that have already been laid.

The desire for a new generation leads to desperation

Now the two male African penguins take turns trying to hatch the eggs – so far without success. Because another biological obstacle stands in the way of the happy ending. The two penguins tried to hatch an egg from another pair last year.
