on 2006-11-15 06:56 am (UTC)A penguin called Elvis wears a new pair of blue shoes at the Antarctic Centre's Penguin Encounter display in Christchurch, November 7, 2006. Elvis and 16 other penguins who arrived at the International Antarctic Centre in September have been given specially designed shoes after several penguins developed sore feet in their new home, according to Antarctic Centre director Richard Benton. Picture taken November 7, 2006
He's called Elvis because he has BLUE SUEDE SHOES!
My bloke and I just figured that out. Hee hee.
