Gay penguins officially become first-time dads to adorable foster chick at New York zoo
A gay Humboldt penguin couple has become foster parents to a new hatchling, starting their adorable family.
Zookeepers at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, New York, said the same-sex male pair, Elmer and Lima, were chosen to be foster parents for an egg laid by a female penguin.
Elmer and Lima formed a pair bond for the current breeding season, built a nest together and even defended their territory. So the zoo decided to test out their fostering capabilities.
According to a news release, the Rosamond Gifford Zoo has relied on foster couples to incubate eggs in the past, but Elmer and Lima are the zoo’s first same-sex foster couple.
