World Penguin Day 25th April

chiarieds

As some of you might know, I rather like penguins, & my daughter, well-knowing this, has reminded me that it's nearly World Penguin Day. Anyone interested might like to look at the following websites (the latter educating me in saying that penguins have knees!)

Please see: https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-penguin-day/    &   https://oceanscubadive.com/world-penguin-day/

Wishing you all a Happy Penguin Day tomorrow.

Happy Penguin Day @Dragonslayer

To celebrate can anyone tell me some of the different kinds of penguin, name films about penguins, penguin characters from books, songs about penguins, & a penguin snack?

I'll start with my favourite the Macaroni penguin

Happy Penguin Day everybody!

Absolutely loving the penguin thread in celebration!

So, there's a Macaroni penguin @chiareds? 

May I ask, because I really do need to know now, why is the Macaroni penguin called a Macaroni penguin? 

p.s. And who knew that penguins have knees!

Happy Penguin Day @Caz_Scope - here's the answer about Macaronis:
