Berlin, Germany: A pair of gay vultures in a German zoo have adopted an egg abandoned by its mother and started to incubate it in a nest they built.
Animal keepers had collected the egg in the muddy ground under a tree where it had been dropped by a griffon vulture called Lisa, said national news agency DPA.
"Lisa had made no attempt to build a nest," the report quoted Nordhorn zoo spokeswoman Ina Deiting as saying.
The biological parentage of the egg is unclear, and zoo keepers also don't know yet whether it is fertilised.
Several days ago newspapers reported that the gay king penguin couple Stan and Olli had been moved from a Berlin zoo to an all-male enclosure in Hamburg.
