Well, take a look at Dr. Tom Hart's job description: He's a penguinologist!

"Are you done yet?"

I loved this story about zoo volunteers at the Oregon Zoo who cleaned out the penguins' tank. It includes this great paragraph:
The minute the women finished their work and cleared out, the pool filled with penguins, racing like jet boats and diving like the world's speediest submarines. 
Story and photo from the Oregonian.

Penguins Can Fly!


“It is practically impossible to look at a penguin and feel angry.”

According to this video’s description, “Pete the penguin marching down the aisle of Southwest flight 583 from San Francisco to San Diego on March 12, 2011. SeaWorld brought penguins to a national science convention in SF and decided to let them roam the aisle for our amusement.”

What is this penguin thinking as it greets a baby La Plata river dolphin? My is that it's something like, "Awww!"
