Gay penguins and giant octopus.

Despite freezing temperatures in the artificial landscape awaken in Antarctic penguins of Constance large aquarium Sea Life Spring fever. A year after their arrival by refrigerated trucks from the French Brest is currently flirting on Lake Constance, you're worth.

The animals hunt at 30 miles an hour through the water and even so the feathers. The typical "I-Ah" cries of the animals their names are placed in the mating season to hear more often than usual. No wonder the nurses do is hope for offspring from the protected species standing coat makers.

But finding the right partner is apparently also in penguins, not easy: in particular males Bonaparte seems to fall head over heels in an unfortunate plunge. He only has eyes for the nurse. Actually seems Bonaparte sit up an optical illusion. The object of desire is simply the boots of his nurse. The black boots with the white sole provides a lying on his belly penguin seems deceptively similar.

In terms of infertility is one constant in experience. Even last spring, a supposed dream team turned out for the penguins to be gay. The two men had even built a nest.

Lonely it is not the same. Just in time for the season opening the Gentoo penguins at the Sea Life received new roommate. In the special exhibition "Octopus Garden", the Grand Aquarium displays since Tuesday giant squid, known as octopuses. The animals are considered very intelligent and can even open vessels. Their hiding camouflaged octopus art full of stones and shells, so as to produce elaborate gardens.
