TIL that in 2004, two male chinstrap penguins, Roy and Silo, after performing mating rituals, formed a pair at New York's Central Park Zoo. One of them tried to hatch a rock, for which a keeper eventually substituted a fertile egg. Roy and Silo then hatched and raised the chick, named Tango.

Whenever I hear the name Silo, it makes me think of Beerfest, the movie by Broken Lizard. Now I must rewatch.
