Gay penguin "power couple" celebrate their anniversary
Sphen and Magic, the gay penguin couple from Australia that captured the world’s heart, celebrated their third anniversary at Sydney’s SEA LIFE Aquarium.
The male couple, who have hatched two eggs together, enjoyed frozen fish cakes for dinner and held a party with their neighbors in the enclosure.
The two male penguins successfully hatched an egg two years ago and raised the chick, Lara, into adulthood.
Zookeepers gave them the egg when they noticed the pair making a clutch right on time for the spring/summer mating season. Gay penguin couples are frequently given eggs that other penguin parents aren’t caring for or if multiple eggs are laid by one pair of birds.
