Male Magellan penguins Harry and Pepper have been together since 2003. The pair nested together and even incubated an egg laid by another penguin in 2008, but their relationship hit the rocks earlier this year when a female penguin, Linda, befriended Harry after her long-time companion died.

This did not go over well with Pepper, who became violent. The three penguins were separated for some time following the fight.

hahahaaa!

THAT was the FIRST thing that came to (my) mind! :^D

Two Men & An Egg is a marketing gimmick. It gets the zoo worldwide press and encourages a certain demographic to come to their zoo and spend money.

I remember something like this happening to Ellen DeGenerate with Anne Heche.I wonder how long it’ll be before DeGenerate sends this other chick friend of her’s running back to men? (...and get stuck with hefty alimony payments...)
