Famed gay penguins in the United Kingdom had a totally chill gender reveal for the penguin chick the loving couple fostered this year.The partnered Humboldt penguins, Diego and Zorro, live at the Oceanarium in Bournemouth and fostered the chick Ponyo since its birth on May 12 at the aquarium.
The happy couple, along with newly appointed penguin keeper Melissa Mudge, used a hunk of ice in the shape of a heart and etched with the letter “G” etched to reveal Ponyo is a girl.
Proud Parents Diego and Zorro reveal Ponyo’s gender“Ponyo has developed really well in the last couple of months,” Mudge told Out Traveler in a statement via email. “She is eating really well and couldn’t be in a healthier position.
Ideally, we wanted her to be a girl to balance the girl/ boy ratio, but of course we would be happy whatever the gender was!
