1. Did you feel the penguin was too fat before?
I've heard that penguins are very sensitive about their weight. Let's hope he doesn't hear about this...

The photo is trimmed but my beloved brave/foolish/suicidal penguin is the same natural guy or gal. :-)

9. That is a great pix Steve.
Remember that joke? Why won't an Eskimo kill and eat a Penquin even if his family is starving?

15. Penguin info, FWIW
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penguin

Penguins (order Sphenisciformes, family Spheniscidae) are an order of flightless birds living in the southern hemisphere. They are not,contrary to popular belief, only found in cold climates, such as Antarctica. There are 17 or 18 known species worldwide, depending on whether the two Eudyptula species are counted as distinct. Three species live in the tropics; one lives as far north as the Galapagos Islands and will occasionally cross the equator while feeding. Only a few species of penguin actually live in Antarctica. The others live further north.Penguins like to stay and move within large groups. Most penguins live off krill, fish, squid, and other forms of sealife that they catch while swimming underwater. They spend half of their life time on land and half in the oceans.

26. The first time I saw that penguin, I couldn't stop laughing
I was at work. I tried so hard to keep it quiet but pretty soon I was snarking and bellowing. Very, very embarrassing!
