Lesbian Penguins in Israel Zoo

exclamationSame-sex penguin pairs aren’t a new phenomenon. At least four male pairs have hatched eggs together. But a zoo in Israel reported recently that a pair of female penguins are building a nest.

Suki and Chupchikoni “have clearly set up house together, creating a scrape into which they collect nesting materials,” reports Haaretz. Zookeepers originally thought Chupchikoni was male, until a blood test showed otherwise. The head of the avian department commented, “There are a few young available males in the exhibit. We are certain that they made a choice to be together.”

Aww. No word yet if the pair will start a family.
