In fact, no animal displays the type of very promiscuous [[homosexual lifestyle]] that has tragically shortened the lifespan of many humans.

Scientists have also not considered that these penguins were taken from their natural habitat, [[Antarctica]]. The change in air temperature, latitudes, etc. may have had adverse effects on chemical balances in their brains, leading to abnormal behaviors. In summary, captivity can compound the penguin's homosexual behavior and the incident has no bearing on homosexuality in animals in nature nor in human beings.
