Lesbian Penguin Couple Found At Israel Zoo (PHOTOS + VIDEO)

Zookeepers at the Ramat Gan Zoo were sure they were dealing with just another penguin couple until a routine blood test revealed a surprise finding.

Both the penguins were female.

Mor Porat, a keeper at the Tel Aviv zoo, said she had heard of male penguins coupling but never two females.

She initially suspect the pairing was down to a lack of potential male mates in the enclosure.

"This is not the reason. If they wanted to choose a male they could have done it."

Porat said zookeepers knew the pair were a couple because of their behaviour over the last few months.

"This is something very special."

"They walk together all the time. They're showing some courtship behaviour. They're cleaning each other. Singing to each other. Building their own nest. For a period of some months or so they were acting like they're nesting."
