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

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!
