Hello penguin gang! Here is a picture of some of my favorite penguinos! This is after they finished their catastrophic molt. Now they are out fishing in the ocean, hopefully to return in a few months for another breeding season.

What’s your favorite type of penguin? Mine is the Magellan, but I love all the penguins!

Also a big note on this infographic:
Emperor penguins are now classified as Endangered.
Each year Emperors are facing a growing challenge of less time on their sea-ice home in Antarctica where they raise their chicks, largely due to rising temperatures from climate change. Early ice breakups are causing catastrophic breeding failures in the Emperor penguin colonies.

From the Edinburgh Zoo Instagram. This kid must be tired from running around!

Taken from the adventureworld_official Instagram. This chick is still a little stumbly but getting more active everyday.

I’m not sure what the text that is held up in this video says, but a wave is internationally recognized!
