    Widow a wedge between zoo's male penguin pair

    Meredith May, Chronicle Staff Writer

    Tuesday, July 14, 2009

    Everyone who works at the San Francisco Zoo knows about Harry and Pepper, two male Magellanic penguins who share a burrow on Penguin Island.

    They have been cohabitating for six years, even hatching a surrogate chick together and raising it as two proud gay daddies. They show all the behaviors of a heterosexual penguin couple - building a nest together, preening each others' feathers and love-tapping beaks. They just happen to be the only two dude penguins with the same address on Penguin Island.

    All was domestic bliss until their next-door neighbor Fig died, widowing his mate, Linda.

    "Whenever there's a single bird on the island, there's always a mad dash to find another mate or lose their burrow," said Harrison Edell, curator of birds.

    In this case, it was Harry who strayed. He walked next door and bunked down with Linda in March, just in time for breeding season. They built a nest together, and Linda laid two eggs.

    Pepper ventured in their burrow a few times in the three weeks after the breakup, prompting a temporary monthlong trip to the Avian Conservation Center on zoo grounds to chill out. A few other bachelor penguins, which were also looking for love and causing trouble, were sent to the center to calm down. No sparks flew between Pepper and the exiled bachelors, but the vacation seemed to help get Harry out of his system.

    Pepper is now back on the island, living next door to his ex and Linda. Everyone appears to be getting along. No one is throwing things, spreading gossip or threatening lawsuits, Edell said.

    "We're all curious to see who Pepper turns his attention to next," Edell said. "We have more males than females on the island, so there's that possibility - and we also have some younger females who need to mature before he will find them interesting. We just don't know which way he's going to go."

    But if he's truly a homosexual animal, he isn't the only one at the San Francisco Zoo. Edell said zookeepers have seen the apes and the chimpanzees same-sex canoodling, and there's a lesbian black swan couple who have been laying eggs together in the same nest for several years.

    Edell is getting quite a lot of e-mail from people who are outraged that Harry and Pepper split up.

    "People think we separated them on purpose," Edell said. "There's no explaining love."

  3. Okay, I need to vent for a moment...

    In February, I was quoted a lower price for my hotel room, but because Leidys walked to the reception counter with me, she was also asked to sign in, and I was then charged a premium for two persons staying in my room.

    The problem? Her family won't allow her to stay overnight due to the local customs as they are. I respect these decisions on the part of the family, but why must the hotel charge us extra $$$ because she is standing with me at the reception counter. Then, when you raise the point, you are looked at as The Ugly American.

    My solution: To avoid making a scene, arguing over Pesos, I told Leidys the next time we visit (top secret, VJ) she can meet me in the reception area 30 minutes AFTER I check in. This will make it so we do not have any misunderstandings, and so that nobody is made to feel uncomfortable during my stay. This is all good, except I made someone special feel uncomfortable. I felt her sadness when I asked her to meet me at the hotel instead of the airport, but due to all of the taxis being compacts and subcompacts (no minivans or shuttles), we cannot fit as a group in a taxi. Hmmm. :wacko:

    I think you handled it well.

    The taxis in the Hamptons really suck. ;)

  4. no no, tostones, sweet fried plantains, and sweet corn tamales please,.. maybe some cheese pupusas no?

    I could do some tostones with garlic mojo.

    Those pupusas better have chicharrón too.

    But I insist... the proletariat will need non-fancy pizza too.

    Fine, I am sure we can make room for pizza and chiles rellenos. And for dessert, fried plantines :dance:

    I just think ALC really believes we are real communists :lol:

    We aren't???

    I am going to have to talk to Chairman Dean about this.

  5. No hermano, we're in lovely and rainy Seattle. Though I would move to UC Berkeley in a flash if they offered me a job, I must say.

    That's right. I had Berkely on my mind, but somehow that didn't seem correct. That is an interesting town, and an even more interesting campus.

    lotsa love in Berkeley. :yes:

    I would LOVE to be recruited by them, but so far, nothing appealing. It must be a conspiracy :cry:

    I imagine it is tough. A lot of professors that were not offered tenure ended up teaching a little farther north, on the smaller campuses, like SSU, and SRJC, two schools I went to. It was hard for them to adjust, losing their godhood, when placed into smaller, more intimate, and vocal classrooms. You are talking about two schools with a high percentage of reentry students. :devil:

    lotsa love in them schools too.

  6. hey I live in the state where carrying a gun inside a college campus is legal ;)

    :rolleyes: *I know...*

    :blink: Holy cow.... I'd rather live in a state where smoking pot on campus is legal :lol:

    i once "knew" *cough* *cough* a counselor at UC Berk. From East LA the chica. Feisty one she was.
