Buddy and Pedro are male African penguins. They were born this way, and they will die this way. Put them in a group of other penguins, and you'd never be able to tell them apart. Except Buddy and Pedro's love for each other burns bright like a firework.
Quote:
But at night Buddy and Pedro pair off together. Every night.
“They do courtship and mating behaviours that females and males would do,’’ one keeper said in an interview.
Those behaviours include making a “braying’’ sound, almost like a donkey, as a mating call. They defend their territory, preen each other, and are constantly standing alone together. In fact when the Star visited the exhibit this week Buddy emerged from the water, followed a few moments later by Pedro. The two huddled together for quite some time.

But Toronto Zoo refuses to see that Buddy and Pedro are who they are, and plan to separate them in order for them to breed with females. You see, Buddy and Pedro's genes are ****in' perfect, and the zoo does not want them to be put to waste.
Discuss this travesty as Buddy and Pedro mourn for the one that got away.
