Male Penguin Get Into a Bloody Brawl After Coming Home To Find His Wife Cheating

We were told that penguins have the most romantic love stories in the animal kingdom. They brave the endless Arctic winter, the cold, finding that one penguin soulmate. And when they find their mate, they stay together for the rest of their penguin lives.

How sweet and moving, right?

Nestling each other's necks is a sign of their love…

But this one video caught by the National Geographic shatters this perception. As it turns out, even in the penguin kingdom, cheaters and homewreckers are present. Such is the case in this raw footage of a male penguin attacking the “lover” of his penguin wife.

Watch the epic and sad footage below:

First, they beat each other up with their wings. Seeing they are equally matched, they then called up the female to choose. Turns out, the wench is already in love with the homewrecker!

That moment she chose the other male 🙁

Not having it, the husband attacked again. This time, going for the kill by gouging out the eyes of the “lover”. Both male penguins ended up bloody but the female penguin chose her lover again. Defeated and heartbroken, the husband walked away, crying in anguish….

The husband penguin was bloodied and lost his wife to the other penguin 🙁

Personally, I feel so bad for the husband penguin. And I feel sad too that the lovely myth of one soulmate for the rest of their lives is shattered… Sorry to say, but indeed, nothing lasts forever 🙁
