My two dads: Gay penguins adopt an egg and hatch a chick
Two 'gay' male penguins have hatched an egg and are rearing the adopted chick.
The birds, at Bremerhaven Zoo in northern Germany, were given an egg rejected by its biological parents.
Named 'Z' and 'Vielpunkt', the penguins became famous when they refused to separate or to mate with females.
'They accepted the egg immediately and took turns in incubating it with their body heat. They did this for 35 days and the baby was born on April 25.
Bremerhaven Zoo in northern Germany made headlines in 2005 as it investigated homosexual traits in penguins.
Gay rights activists were outraged after the zoo flew in female penguins to try to get them to reproduce with three pairs of male penguins who had been seen trying to mate with one another and hatch chicks from stones.
But now the zoo has relented, leaving the six gay penguins to live happily with their chosen mates - Z and Vielpunkt among them.
