In a desperate bid to become parents, a gay pair of penguins at a zoo in Netherlands have been stealing the eggs of other couples

The couple takes turns guarding the nest and eggs they stole. While one of them stays with the eggs, the other one goes out to hunt for food
A couple of opportunistic penguins, who live in Netherlands' Dieren Park, have resorted to stealing other penguins' eggs regularly. Such is their enthusiasm to become parents that they robbed a heterosexual penguin couple's potential offspring, but it didn't go as planned. The egg didn't fertilise. Speaking about the nest robbers' first attempt, Marc Belt, zookeeper, said, "Homosexuality is fairly common in penguins, but what makes this couple remarkable is that they have gotten hold of an egg."
