TWO SAME SEX PENGUINS HATCHED AN EGG | LONDON ZOO

The chief curator of London Zoo probably has more experience of penguins than most. When it comes to love, he thinks we humans could learn a thing or two from them.

“Humans could take lessons from other animals as it is about survival at the end of the day and caring. We have a lot to learn from penguins.”

London Zoo is currently home to three same-sex Humboldt penguin couples – two male and one female – out of a total of 95 penguins, a higher percentage than the 5 percent of the human population estimated to be LGBT+.

The Penguins first arrived at London Zoo in 1865, 37 years after it first opened as a center for scientific study
