Penguins mate for life, and two male penguins at The London Zoo famously coupled in 2014.

In 2015, they adopted a chick abandoned by another couple. They treated it like their own as, including incubating the egg and feeding him. They even split parenting duties 50/50, just as a hetero penguin couple would.

The chick, named Kyton, eventually moved out and went to college (aka joined the colony), but R+R still “spend all their time together”.

*cue the happy tears*

The London Zoo told told the BBC “Zoo Nights Pride Takeover is a great opportunity to celebrate diversity while learning about wildlife.”

“[We] wanted to remind people that same-sex relationships happen across the animal kingdom – even here in our penguin colony at ZSL London Zoo.”
