Excerpt from Daily Mail
A same-sex penguin couple has become foster parents to a newborn hatchling in a first for an upstate New York zoo.
Humboldt penguins Elmer and Lima first got together this past mating season, and built a nest together in the fall, which they have both defended from incoming predators.
Their devotion to each other led officials at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo to test how the two would be as parents, using a dummy egg, before letting them take care of a fertilized egg of their own.
The baby penguin was born healthy on New Years Day, and weighed a healthy 8 ounces at its first health check at just five days old, zoo officials announced on Friday. The hatchling has not yet been named.
