Why are penguins possessive with their partners just like humans?

They're actually not possessive over partners. Possessive means to control, dominate or force. Penguins are actually a "mates for life" species. Once they choose their partner, they will stick together as a couple for as long as they both live, it's pure love. The males are also true gentlemen - they incubate the eggs while the mother waddles off to socialise with her girly friends. Penguins are also known to have homosexual relationships. Homosexual penguins will sometimes "adopt" an egg-shaped pebble and look after it as if it was a real egg, or they may adopt an egg that has been abandoned or orphaned (as a result of the parents being eaten by predators). If you do a quick image search for "penguin love" or something similar, you will find dozens of pictures of penguins hugging, kissing (affectionately pecking with their beaks) and "holding" fins. However, penguins are extremely possessive over one thing - pebbles. Yes, that's right. Pebbles. Penguins like to spend hours looking for perfectly rounded pebbles to collect in their beaks and make a nest with. These pebbles need to be smooth and not sharp, so they are comfortable to lay on in the nest. Sometimes penguins are seen aggressively defending their nests from other penguins who they think will try to steal the pebbles.
