Remember those two male penguins in that Chinese zoo who stole straight couples' eggs in an attempt to fulfill their parental yearnings? penguins2.jpgRemember how zoo keepers segregated the dynamic duo from the rest of the birds? Well, after animal-rights groups and angry visitors complained about the couple's treatment, the reformed baby bandits are now being given a shot at fatherhood.

Authorities have snatched two eggs from an inexperienced, first-time mother and have handed those eggs over to the same-sex couple.
