In 2019, a pair of gay companies in the Netherlands Zoo became popular online for stealing eggs and hatching their cubs. But unexpectedly, a year later, the gay couple stole the eggs of a penguin couple, and would never give up until they hatched their little penguins.
According to the zoo administrator at the time, “After stealing an egg last year and hatching, they hijacked the entire nest unsuspectingly this year.”
Earlier, these two gay penguins stole an egg. , It turned out that the egg was not fertilized either. One year later, another egg was laid after the heterosexual couple's egg was stolen.
The zoo explained in a tweet that homosexuality is more common in this penguin, adding that two male penguins take turns guarding the two-egg nest.
Indeed, in nature, "gay" animals are not uncommon. Studies have shown that the phenomenon of "homosexuality" has been found in at least 1,500 species. For these phenomena, it is still a difficult problem in evolutionary science. It is not clear why so many species have such a situation.
Under normal circumstances, "homosexuals" cannot reproduce offspring. Therefore, some "homosexual" animals have taken some measures to become parents and steal eggs from other homes of the same kind, hoping to hatch.
Moreover, in the penguin family, the female is responsible for laying eggs and the male is responsible for incubating the eggs. Generally speaking, the female penguin needs to replenish a large amount of food in time due to its exhaustion after laying eggs. Therefore, the task of hatching penguin eggs falls to the male penguin at this time. Therefore, generally speaking, after the penguin lays eggs, the male penguin will start hatching work.
Therefore, it is understandable that this pair of gay companies are so keen on stealing eggs. I don’t know, have they welcomed their own baby this year?
