Places I’ve taken pictures of penguins:

• Denver Zoo
• Henry Doorly Zoo
• New England Aquarium
• Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
• St. Louis Zoo

This penguin video is awesome! For those of you old enough to remember the Muppets, Beaker and Bunsen, you’ll get an extra laugh out of this one. The Muppets do the bunny hop… with penguins wearing bunny ears.

I say this is perfect for Easter, but I really think bunny penguins are perfect all year round, too cute!

Can YOU and your penguin do the bunny hop?

In case you’ve missed this amazing penguins news, there’s a rare black penguin that’s been spotted recently. The now famous photo of this all black penguin (aka melanistic penguin) was taken by Andrew Evans during his trip from Washington D.C. to Antarctica. For a few weeks now there has been a bit of talk about this really cool photo. At first glance I was sure it was another Photoshop joke. However, after reading the articles there’s no doubt this penguin is genuine. How awesome is that?

“He looked like a single black king moving across a chessboard of so many white pawns.” Evans said.

The penguin was spotted at Fortuna Bay on Antarctica’s Georgia Island which is

According to the National Geographic’s article, some travelers on this trip recalled also seeing the penguin at St. Andrew’s Bay.

All black penguin sighted by Ted Cheeseman in 2006

Nature usually takes care of animal abnormalities, so it’s been assumed that this unique penguin wouldn’t last long in the while. However, there are reports that this penguin has been spotted previously so he has obviously been around a while. Ted Cheeseman of Cheeseman Ecology Safaris shares his sighting of the all black penguin from January 2006.

What kind of penguin is this?

This is a King Penguin, and according to Evans reports, seems to be living just fine among his friends and family in the colony. He may even have a mate.

What is a Melanistic penguin?

National Geographic describes melanistic as “Melanism is merely the dark pigmentation of skin, fur–or in this case, feathers. The unique trait derives from increased melanin in the body.”.

From Black penguin comments on Freerepublic.com. It looks like an Adelie Penguin to me, what do you think? I think maybe this one is simply a baby who’s white feathers haven’t developed just yet… see the white speckles on either side of its belly?

Here’s a lovely little song by an Italian indie-acoustic band called A Boy with Glasses.

The video is cute – poor little penguin so far from home. But he meets new friends, so that’s pretty cool. I like this song… what do you think?

The band has a few other videos, “Penguins eating donuts” is cute too.

I think now I need to get my penguins out and have a penguin party video.. want to join me?
