One half of Toronto's famous gay penguin couple has spurned his beau in favour of a female mate.

Zoo keepers announced that the pair had officially split after Buddy, 21, got together with a female penguin, although Pedro, aged ten, is yet to move on.

The duo nested together for around one year, and videos of the animals went viral - although experts claimed it was more of a 'bromance' than a sexual pairing.

Due to the status of penguins as an endangered species, the pals were sadly separated in order to enjoy some penguin passion with female birds.
Just three days later Buddy appeared to have forgotten all about Pedro, as he scored with a female penguin.

Buddy previously had a female partner for over a decade, producing chicks, while Pedro is yet to father any offspring.

Despite Pedro's best efforts to get lucky with girl penguin Thandiwey, which have lasted for several weeks, she has so far spurned the advances of the try-hard bird.

Experts have said that it is likely the formerly 'gay' penguins will eventually settle with females.

When the lovebirds hit headlines earlier this year, comedian Jimmy Kimmel dubbed the duo the 'Brokeback Iceberg' penguins, and joked that they had been seen at a Lady Gaga gig.

Oi .. it's not as if he had one look at Petunia's protrusions and went all straight by his own accord.

His lover was forcefully ripped from his still-quivering [-]arms[/-] [-]wings[/-] flappy appendage thingies.

I mean, come-on, what would you do?

Shame man. Poor Pedro. I think he should get his own back and kick that female in the panties for stealing his man! Bloody females! :p

This is soooo typical. When its two lesbian lizzards or whatever...then they are encouraged. When two boys wanna get it on and nest....OH NO!!!!!!!! Split them up! They must make babies!!!!!

And yes...the lesbian lizzards are for real....my sister watched a documentary where it was featured on Discovery or Nat Geo. lolz

Same can be applied when using this logic. They where forced together and that is why they turned gay...

See what I did there?

That's the New Mexico Whiptail which is a female only species that reproduces through parthenogenesis ;) Lesson for the day...
