Penguin Balloons Spark a Rescue

July 29th, 2008 by The Penguin Lover

Here’s a fun news story about penguins disrupting the peace and quiet of the more air…

LONDON (AFP) — Two balloons shaped like penguins sparked a major air and sea search when they were mistaken for a crashed microlight, Scottish coastguards said Wednesday.

Three coastguard teams, a lifeboat and a Royal Air Force helicopter were scrambled after a member of the public reported seeing what he thought was a downed aircraft off the coast of Aberdeenshire, northeast Scotland.

“We sent the teams out to look for it but all they found was two penguin balloons,” said watch officer Anne Young, from Aberdeen Coastguard. “Goodness only knows where they came from.”

I would have liked to have been there to see that!

Penguins and Shoes

July 28th, 2008 by The Penguin Lover

Zappos, and online shoe retailer, apparently had a party last night. Part of the atmosphere was real live african penguins swimming in the pool. How cool is that??? We all know penguins are the classiest critter around, but to be able to party with the penguins, that’s just outstanding! Wish I had been there.

I haven’t been able to find any other information, other than a few penguin pictures posted by the CEO and employees of Zappos through twitter.

Just more proof to your eyeball peeled, you never know where your next penguin sighting might come from.

Penguin fingerprints

July 5th, 2008 by The Penguin Lover

So here’s an interesting discovery…

Apparently african penguins have a series of dots in their chest feathers that are uniquely the’rs and remain the same their entire life. This is much like a human fingerprint - no two penguins have the same exact pattern.

Now, penguins are starting to track penguins using these markers to identify individual penguins.

Oh how we love science!
