ozfille passed this on to me from a travel company newsletter: ( A Fairytale Wedding in Antarctica )Giant Penguins! (Sadly Extinct)

robinwest sent me the Chicago Tribune article on how giant penguins may once have roamed in Peru, and ladykoori sent me the illustrated Discovery Channel version (pic copied above). It's probably a good thing they're extinct or my son would want to move to Peru to get one as a pet!Musical Penguin

This is the penguin I got my obsessed son as a gift after his violin recital, instead of flowers. It was a very popular choice. *g* I found it at a local Hallmark store.
Rockin' Penguins
Apr. 20th, 2007 01:22 pmcruisedirectorFrom CNN, "Penguins start rockin' when stones arrive" -- the Gentoo and Rockhopper penguins at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, getting busy for mating season by building nests.
Also, my uncle sent this eggplant penguin picture to me. Apparently it is from Food For Thought!

A British Penguin Tour
Apr. 17th, 2007 08:14 pmcruisedirectorOur family took a trip to England and Wales, staying mostly in the vicinity of Bristol, during the course of which we visited four zoos with penguins. The highlight was a visit to Dudley Zoo where our younger son got to meet the chicks of the penguin a friend had "adopted" there for him. Here are some of the photos:

A Local Penguin Story

An refreshing news comes from London Zoo a day before valentine's day.
http://www.zsl.org/london-zoo/news/p-p-p-pick-up-a-penguin,341,NS.html
One of their rockhoppers, Roxy, published a myspace in search for love.
She's a cute rockhopper, she doesn't have the diva attitude though she's a world-class celebrity, and she lovingly admitted have a body type of 33cm with some extra bagage. You can say, she keeps her head down to earth.
You can check her out and (if you have a myspace account) invite her as a friend at http://www.myspace.com/roxyrockhopper
Hopefully, this breakthrough from Roxy will encourage more people to fall in love to Roxy and her endangered relatives out there!!

Plow & Hearth Snopals
Dec. 4th, 2006 05:03 pmcruisedirectorNow we can make our own garden penguins when it snows! Plow & Hearth has kits, though I suspect it would not be difficult to buy foam board at Michael's or some other craft store and design our own for a lot less money:
White Carpet Premiere For 'Happy Feet'
Nov. 15th, 2006 08:30 pmcruisedirectorCBS News has posted photos of the "white carpet" premiere for Happy Feet, which includes live penguins as well as the actors in the film and visitors.
Also, a game PSA: We got a coupon for $5 off the Nintendo Happy Feet game at Best Buy with a Burger King toy, but our store still didn't have it on the shelf at lunchtime today (officially it came out yesterday). We checked K-mart, which not only had the game but was giving out little stuffed Mumble penguins with it, a store exclusive. So if you're going to get the game, you may either want to get a toy at Burger King for the Best Buy coupon or you may want to go to K-mart to get the stuffed penguin! (The game comes with a coupon for a free movie ticket.)
