Male-Male penguin couple adopts an egg.
At the local aquarium we have a male-male couple. They are older males who have been in male-female couples earlier. But now they have a male-male relationship.
A female recently laid two eggs, and then quite a bit later, one more. This last egg was doomed, as it was too far behind and would get crushed when the two others hatched. So the egg was offered to the male couple, who immediately adopted it.
Noone knows if this last egg is fertilized, but according to the aquarium officials they usually are.
