\n This same-sex penguin couple is excited to announce that they\u2019re now first-time parents.<\/p>\n

Electra and Viola recently welcomed a new family member to their habitat at\u00a0<\/span>Spain\u2019s Oceanogr\u00e0fic Val\u00e8ncia aquarium<\/span> \u2014 a chick they incubated and hatched from an adopted egg.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aquarium caregivers noticed that Electra and Viola had developed baby fever after observing them building a nest out of stones. In recognition of the penguins\u2019 parental preparedness, the caretakers rewarded them by taking another penguin couple\u2019s fertile egg and giving it to the lesbian partners instead.<\/p>\n

The aquarium announced the happ<\/a>y news<\/a> in an August 17 post, noting that this is a big moment for Oceanogr\u00e0<\/span>fic Val\u00e8<\/span>ncia: \u201cAlthough same-sex couples are common in more than 450 species,\u201d this is the first time the aquarium has been home to a gay animal family.<\/p>\n

Same-sex penguin couples and the species as a whole have become global gay icons for their diverse sexualities.<\/p>\n

In November, a pair of homosexual African penguins at the Netherlands\u2019 DierenPark Amersfoort zoo kidnapped an unsuspecting heterosexual penguin couple\u2019s egg to raise as their own.<\/p>\n

\u201cHomosexuality is fairly common in penguins, but what makes this couple remarkable is that they have gotten hold of an egg,\u201d said their zookeeper, Marc Belt, at the time. The egg\u2019s original parents, he added, did not appear to be upset by the theft of their unborn baby and had already produced a replacement.<\/p>\n

The gay penguin pride movement had a landmark moment last September, when Sea Life London\u2019s same-sex penguin couple Rocky and Marama announced they would be raising their adopted hatchling \u201cgenderless.\u201d While many humans have struggled with the concept, penguins inherently understand it. In fact, it is \u201ccompletely natural for penguins to develop genderless identities\u201d in the wild, according to the aquarium\u2019s general<\/a> manager, Graham McGrath.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat makes us really proud at the aquarium is the success of Sea Life London\u2019s gentoo breeding program and the amazing job of same-sex penguins Rocky and Marama who took the chick under their wing and raised it as their own,\u201d McGrath added.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
