[edit] Roy and Silo brakeup -September 28, 2005

After six years with Roy, Silo has fallen for a female penguin named Scrappy. Information found at http://www.planetout.com/news/feature.html?sernum=1232 and http://www.gay.com/news/roundups/package.html?sernum=1232&navpath=/channels/news/opinion—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.86.111.161 (talk • contribs) 19:53, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Those are links to the same story published on two different sites. If anyone decides to cite them, I suggest not citing them both since that would be redundant.--Teddywithfangs 06:44, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LGBT or Parenting

I don't know how much of this is realted to LGBT issues versus parenting and non-traditional families. It seems to me to be more of a parenting issue among the penguins, but this does stem from their biological drive to procreate. If this could be expanded covering Roy and Silos behavior over the six years they were a couple that would help a great deal. Comparing and contrasting this to the children's book could be good.

I do think this article would be a good part of parenting in the amimal world along with an article on same sex coupling of animals. But it can get complicated when humans try to parallel their own behaviors with that of animals. Even more complex when we try to parallel human thoughts and feelings, as there is not 100% understanding between humans and animals. --EarthPerson 16:35, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
