[quote=upi.com]SAN FRANCISCO, July 12 (UPI) -- Linda the penguin has split up two male penguins who lived as a nesting couple for six years at the San Francisco Zoo, caretakers said.
Male penguins Harry and Pepper had been so content together they were allowed to incubate and hatch an egg laid by another Magellanic penguin last year, zookeeper Anthony Brown said.
"Of all of the parents that year, they were the best. They took very good care of their chick," Brown told the San Francisco Examiner in a story published Saturday.
Enter the widow Linda, who began courting Harry in her partner's old burrow shortly after his death this past winter, Brown said.
"To be completely anthropomorphizing, Linda seems conniving," Brown said. "She's got her plan. I don't think she was wanting to be a single girl for too long."
Though Harry and Linda have been nesting in recent months, molting season in late summer tends to reshuffle couples, KTVU-TV reported Sunday.
"It'll be interesting to see if Harry spends any of that time with Pepper," Brown said. "We'll have to wait and see."[/quote]

What a bitch
Good.
They aren't "gay".
It's a result of keeping two males together. It only happens in forced circumstances.
This proves that homosexuality is a choice.
:smug:
Probably actually bi penguins.
Linda sounds like a noble lake creature.

That's more likely.
Penguins are the soap opera of the animal world!

Except quite obviously there were females present, because they got split up by one. Go look at bonobos and tell me homosexual interactions between animals only happens in "forced circumstances".

San Francisco Zoo, shocker

There are enough variables that you can't say that. How many other females are there? Are all other females taken? Are they suitable for the penguins?
Think, please. If you stuff two male pigeons into a hole and leave them there, they will invariably bond if there are no potential mates to go around.
Evil bitch. They were happy and she comes along and ruins everything for them.

Sort of like what happens on long submarine missions?
Linda the Penguin is doing God's work in the animal kingdom.

I found this funnier than I should have.
Poor Pepper.
Poor penguins. Probably fed hormones and given other unnatural things. That's what solitary confinement does to yah.
