Penguins from around the world. Penguin pictures, penguin gifts and more penguin fun!

Korean researchers have developed POMI, a penguin-looking robot that is able to see, hear, touch and smell.

Pomi is programmed to answer users through voice-recognition technology and various sensors allow it to recognise and locate humans.

I like the idea of a penguin robot. it would be so fun to have a penguin pal that can respond back to things I say or do… but this design I’m not sure I like. Its cute and scary at the same time. What do you think?

I was finally able to see real Gentoo Penguins upclose and personal a few weeks ago. I was visiting the St. Louis zoo. They are absolutely adorable! Here’s a photo of one…

I was just in San Francisco 2 weeks ago and was hoping to stop by and visit the penguins at the California Academy of Sciences. Then I realized it wouldn’t be open to the public until September. I was bummed. Only 100 days until opening though, mark your calendars!

However, I hear the penguins, which just moved in are quite happy with their new home. 20 African penguins are now living at the newly built museum in Golden Gate Park. There was a media debut yesterday.

“The penguin habitat is designed to replicate what the penguins would experience in nature. But don’t expect ice floes and snow, these particular penguins aren’t that kind. They come from South Africa and Namibia.” - KTVU.com
