Gay Penguins Steal Eggs from Straight Penguins

2 gay penguins in a Harbin zoo have been trying to steal eggs from other penguins and have now been ostracized by other penguins. Zoo keepers have segregated this pair of penguins. No! Not because they are anti-gays. They have to be segregated to avoid disrupting the rest of the community during the hatching season.

Why did these gay penguins steal other penguins' eggs? Don't worry. There is no causal link between homosexuality and criminal tendencies. It basically boils down to paternal instinct - the gay penguins' behaviour was driven by the urge to be fathers despite their sexual orientation.

To read more on this curious phenomenon, please check out the article from The Telegraph. Anyway, my conclusion is 'It's a strange world we live in!'
