October 26th, 2008 by The Penguin Girl

They look so darn comfy.

Opus the penguin is leaving us

October 25th, 2008 by The Penguin Girl

This news was reported on October 18th, but I thought I’d sit and hope the news would be reversed… I girl can dream can’t she?

November 2, 2008 will be the last comic episode for Opus according to an article from Salon. Berkeley Breathed has decided its time to close the book on this loveable character while the story is still good.

I’m so sad :( who wants to say goodbye to a penguin?

There has been a contest running to guess where Opus is staying for all of eternity, I think thats the story line. The penguin contest ended October 17th and winners will be announced “on or about” November 3rd.

Here are a few things I found so we can all keep OPus in our hearts…. little tokens of penguin love to remember him by:

Swimming Penguin

October 24th, 2008 by The Penguin Girl

This is a swimming Rockhopper penguin. I love how the coloring turned out, and he looks so happy to be in the nice cool warm The rockhoppers, to me, seem a little more social than the African penguins I’ve seen lately. The Rockhoppers like to sing to eachother and seem quite entertained by the people watching. I think they’re great.

the water looks so perfect to me.. so pretty!

Here’s a fun penguin that will really “hang” around. His magnetic hands and feet will stick to any metal surface so he can stick by you all day - ha! Cute!

Magnatudes Salvador - Penguin - PG120

Magnatudes feature very strong magnets in their hands and feet. These fun filled characters can be placed in cute positions on any metal surface. They are strong enough to hold notes to your refrigerator or can hold a string of other Magnatudes. Have fun displaying them in all sorts of fun ways! They are tall soft, plush critters filled with fiber and beans.

Adelie penguins help researchers with climate change

October 21st, 2008 by The Penguin Girl

Discovery channel news recently published an article about climate change and penguins, sighting that DNA research of Adelie penguins suggests survival depends on ability to adapt to temperature changes.

“Adelie penguins are a wonderful model to study the problem of climate change,” said Lambert. “They have lived through temperature fluctuations much higher than those in equatorial regions.”
