Lesbian Penguins Pair Up At Israeli Zoo

It was just recently that zookeepers at Ramat Gan Zoological Center discovered both  were female—penguins can't be sexed just by appearance, but researchers had taken blood samples from Suki and Chupchikoni to conduct research on avian malaria. The staff at the zoo had assumed Chupchikoni was male because he was larger—in fact his name is Hebrew slang for penis.

"We had no doubt about Suki [being female], as she is quite small,’ Tamuz Setti, head of the Safari Avian Department, told Haaretz. "There are a few young available males in the exhibit. We are certain that they made a choice to be together."

The black-footed, of African penguin, is on the endangered list with only 50,000 in existence. Same-sex relationships are not believed to be the culprit.
