A pair of male penguins named Elmer and Lima just became the first same-sex couple to foster an egg together at New York's Rosamond Gifford Zoo.
It explained that several breeding pairs have a history of accidentally breaking their fertilized eggs that's what happened to Elmer, who is named after the glue used to repair the damaged egg from which he later emerged.
They've been taking care of the chick since he hatched on Jan.
