Today is Penguin Awareness Day. Penguins are funny little birds that can't fly but boy can they swim. They live in the southern hemisphere, the northernmost species being the Galápagos penguin, which lives on the Galápagos islands on the equator. The biggest species of penguin is the Emperor Penguin at 4 feet tall, and the smallest is the 1 foot Little Penguin.
The most common species of penguin is the Chinstrap Penguin, which is named for a dark line of feathers that goes from its cheeks to its chin. The most fabulous penguin is the Macaroni Penguin, they have yellow feathered plumage above their eyes, like large, light colored eyebrows. The penguins with the most interesting babies are King Penguins, who's juveniles are very brown before getting their sleek black and white feathers. And that's all the penguins I know
You know quite a few penguins, Tom! I think another perfect penguin is the Adélie penguin, I remembering learning about those guys from Go, Diego! Go! as a tot. It’s amazing just how many penguins exist in this world, at the same time as us! I couldn’t ask for more!
