A British zoo discovered that a 10-year-old penguin who has been living at the facility since 2016 is a male. Birdland Park, in Gloucestershire, said the penguin formerly known as Maggie had a feather sent for DNA testing after keepers noticed the penguin attempting to initiate mating with a male penguin. Maggie was found to be male and renamed Magnus. The zoo is now down to just one female penguin in their breeding colony.
* One tired female penguin.
* You can’t blame them for not catching that it was a male. You know what cold ocean water does to guys.
* They should have known the penguin was male. It was wearing a tuxedo, not an evening gown.
* Also, when the female penguin laid an egg, instead of helping sit on it, he would try to start a game of touch football.
* Who are we as a society to assign gender roles to penguins? Maybe Magnus enjoys being non-binary.
