SUMMARY: Officials at the New York Aquarium finally realize that the most dedicated couple in the penguin enclosure is a pair of males.
Wendell and Cass would be more comfortable in a Greenwich Village one bedroom apartment than their current home at the New York Aquarium.
The male penguins, each about 14 years old, can't get enough of each other. The couple has been together for the past eight years, and the two have sex with each other whenever they can, which is often.
Presumably penguins can tell the guys from the gals, but aquarium officials apparently can't. For years they thought the pair was one of each. The truth didn't come out until aquarium staff carried out a blood test.
Angie Pelekedis, a spokeswoman for the aquarium on Coney Island, said: "They're one of the most dedicated couples in the penguin enclosure."
Penguin keeper Stephanie Mitchell added: "I was only seeing one mate with the other, but then one of the other keepers saw it happen the other way round so we did a blood test that proved they were both male.
"Cass tends to be a rather aggressive bird. Wendell is very nervous; always has been. He's on edge all the time. They're currently in a dispute with another couple over their nest. It seems to be one of the most desirable places in the penguin enclosure."
Gay Activist Conclusion: Being gay is the best state in the animal world. These penquins are obviously the happiest and most well adjusted of the group and shows how in nature the gay couples are entitled to the best housing.
My Conclusion: The penquins are incarcerated and Wendall is Cass's be-atch
Of course it is. It is probably the best decorated nest in the enclosure.
I'll be on edge all the time too, if I had some homosexual chase me around my nice little enclosure too!!!
Well now we can wonder about the penguines...hee hee
Accessorising is everything!
There's a stereotype being waved like a red flag.
These penquins are obviously the happiest and most well adjusted of the group
....can one be very nervous all the time....yet happy and well adjusted?....I think NOT!
Oh Wendall!
LOLOLOLOL!
Homosexuals are no real fun to hang around, to say the least, but I don't understand people who obsess over this sort of sexuality. I often wonder what is worse, the gays or the gay bashers.
I also wonder which of the two groups needs to get a life the worst.
Consider that the gay press pushes these stories to the mainstream press. The gay lobbies maintains that acts of animal homosexuality validate their destructive lifestyle.
All of this should be obvious in the article. The gay penquins are the best adjusted, having their affair over the many years. They have the best nest, etc.
If only Wendle would get over his nervousness.
I had a Siamese Tom who tried to hump my female dachshund, in the face, no less. Really....what a sight.........my ex has some photos ;-)
Maybe they should be put in a Pride.
