A century-long cover-up of the "depraved" sex acts of penguins has been uncovered in a new book.

British scientist Dr. George Murray Levick observed frisky Antarctic penguins engaging in gang rapes and even "prostitution" during the early 20th Century.


quote:

Among other sexual behaviors of "astonishing depravity", Dr. Levick noted that "promiscuity" and "infidelity" was rife among the colony of Adélie penguins he studied.


But that was far from the worst of it. Rape, gang rape and the sexual and physical abuse of chicks by adults were all recorded by the Nottingham-born scientist.


quote:

Some penguins even engaged in "prostitution", with males using stones to pimp out females. It may sound a bit far-fetched, but the behavior was confirmed by scientists in a separate study of Adélie penguins in 1998.

Some prostituted penguins have even been shown to trick males into thinking they would have sex by performing an elaborate courtship ritual, then run away with their stones.

Always thought the penguin was Batman’s worst arch rival.

No wonder Hollywood did a lot of penguin movies a few years back.

Fell for that one at the Wild Orchid once. But I had only given her a down payment of half my stones

If it occurs in nature then in must be ok for humans to do all of this too. Right.

I have a new idea for a TV Show

It is gonna be called K-Poppin Penguin Style. I'll film all this and make K-Pop videos on loop. A billion people will watch it because people are weird and I will make moneys.
