Despite a strong condemnation from some conservative Christians, the Oslo Natural History Museum has put on display several pieces of art that show homosexuality among animals. The exhibition entitled "Against Nature" is claimed to be the world's first on one of the most controversial subjects. "Homosexuality has been observed for more than 1,500 animal species, and is well documented for 500 of them," Geir Soeli, the project leader of the exhibition told Reuters in an interview.

Some very lucky penguins are getting a military escort back home. The Brazilian air force and navy are teaming up to take the birds back to their Antarctic home after they got stuck on a beach in Brazil. Every year, penguins typically wash up on Brazil's shores after they catch a ride from the Antarctic Circle on ice floes. The floes melt off the Brazilian shore and the penguins wash ashore. Most are taken to area zoos.

Penguins stranded on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro are getting help from Brazil's air force and navy. The flightless birds will hop a ride on a plane carrying equipment from an Antarctic naval base to the south of Brazil. They will then go on board a naval ship that will release them into the ocean, near their Antarctic home.

A German zoo is still scratching their head as they attempt to figure out how to get six gay penguins to mate with females within the species. The females were flown in from Sweden last year in attempt to get the six penguins to mate. However, the female Humboldt penguins are too shy to make the first move, according to Heike Kueck, the German zoo director.
