Gay Penguins Not Falling For Swedish Hookers

A German zoo with a collection of the endangered Humbolt Penguins ran into a problem when six of its ten males paired off together into same-sex couples, leaving only 4 with any interest in perpetuating the species. Last year, in an attempt to get some chicks born, zookeepers called in some ringers: female Humbolts from Sweden. The resident same-sex couples are having none of the Swedish call-penguins, though. The problem, according to the zoo's director, is that the females are too shy to break into the pair bond between the males. Solution: get trampier penguins.
